I don't know if the question belongs in here to mods can feel free to move it accordingly but...
I"ve had my junk tucked away all weekend and I'm noticing definitite shrinkage. Like, they're definitely smaller now than they were on Friday morning. Not that I'm complaining, I dream that they'd disappear entirely but I'm just wondering if noticeable change over 3 days is something to be concerned by.
In general testicles 'like' to be slightly cooler than the body and that is why in men they droop in the testicular sac in warm weather and shrink in cold. When you tuck they get a bit confused and can close down and decide to do nothing. It is not permanent. And no it doesn't make them disappear. Testicles are amazingly resilient.
Drat. I mean, whew... Er... F it lol... I was hoping they'd shut down or shrink to nonexistence but I'll settle for undamaged I guess.

As long as you don't hit them with a hammer :o
Damn, I wish that would happen. I've never experienced them shrinking from tucking but I wish mine would. I tend to get a little too much bulge in my pelvis when they're tucked which can be as tough to hide as the jewels themselves. The only thing I've heard of that leads to permanent shrinkage is HRT.
I tuck pretty much 24/7. However I do find that during sexual activity, and showering/changing things go back to "normal". But.. they stay put for stuff like using the bathroom.

Lisa - I *hate* that bulge! I've been trying to find garments online that will flatten it out but nothing exists. I bought what was called "the ultimate gaff" but it's just a slightly stiff thong that pulls more on the back than it does to flatten the front. The only reason I'm still using it is that it's a junk-compatible thong and until recently was my only girly underwear.
Brooke - Mine fall out every chance they get, sometimes they find their way around my rather over-tight makeshift gaffs. Happily I think I found panties that actually keep them in. And they're not tight lol.
I use vanity fair cotton stretch panties, 2x/time. Otherwise I have that same issue of falling out. Two provide a slightly wider crotch and the stretch allows for a snug yet comfortable fit. I buy a size or two smaller than what I would normally wear. And, they are cheap which is always a plus.

I'll take that under consideration. I'm still exploring non-cotton offerings. 35 years of the same thing against my skin and I've recently lost all f--ks about gender roles. I'm really diggin these Victoria's Secret cheekinis at the moment! I will need more than 3 though lol
Word of advice: their lace cheekies don't work if you still have your external urethra.

I really like fabric and quality of VS. However most of their panties simply do not work well pre-op. Having to pull them back up every 30 minutes is just no fun. Maybe I just have not found the right size/style but it has been a disappointment so far :-( maybe HRT will give me enough hip / shrinkage so they stay put.
Yeah, I'm noticing a trend to leak out every 10 steps even in the cheekinis. I'm going to have to try the ones I was linked to. But the feels...
Still, there are always leggings and stretchy jeans.
RE: the droopage: I think that may be more due to the excess of junk pulling them down than lack of hips letting them fall.
I actually do find those vanity fair ones incredibly soft and comfortable. XD

I find that shapewear briefs work well for tucking. I hate tucking - I just can't get comfortable - but they give me the most comfortable tuck of anything. I wear one size larger than normal, since I don't actually need to squish anything. They give me a nice smooth look with no slippage.
I have been tucking for a long time (must be at least 8 years) but have not noticed any shrinkage. I don't like the bulge but they don't stay in place as well as I would like. I wear only Jockey Elancee high cut cotton panties.
