Hide that Bulge

Did you just put on that gorgeous knit skirt but now there's a lump in front
that shatters the image? Have you tried shoving it here and there but always
feel like you just got kicked? Girl, you need to "tuck" ;-)

There are devices out there that you can use to hide the bulge. The most
popular is the gaff. However, I have never heard anyone actually recommend
the gaff to anyone. They are very uncomfortable. The gaff can best be
described kind of like a bikini bottom except it's extremely tight. The
straps tend to dig in and make nasty creases. Also since your smashing
everything against your belly it's unlikely you'll be able to wear it very
long unless your a masochist.

Okay, you still want that smooth silhouette but without the pain. Enter "the
Tuck." This simple technique allows you to walk, sit, dance and even urinate
without undoing everything or suffering needlessly. And you get a nice
smooth front.

First you must shave. Some girls I talk to about this use scissors to trim
the hair but I don't like using scissors there. Other girls use a razor but
the last time I tried that I ended up looking like I tried SRS on myself.
Personally I like to use one of the hair removers designed for the bikini
area. Just be careful where you put it.

Next you will need some sport tape. You can try this without tape also, it
should still work fine. You will have to wear control panties or pantyhose
to hold everything in place. I don't tape unless I plan on being tucked for
a long time or I'm wearing something that hugs my curves. If your not going
to tape, pull whatever you'll be wearing up over your knees, following the
rest of the instructions here. After everything is in place pull your
panties (or whatever) up and they should hold you in place. Some girls use
micropore surgical tape. You want a tape that doesn't leave a gooey mess of
glue when you take it off or one that will rip the skin. Right now I'm using
3M Cloth First Aid Tape. You should get tape that's between �" and 1" wide.
Cut a strip 5" to 6" long and set it aside.

This part is a little difficult to explain. First we have to get rid of the
testicles. Pull the skin around the "T's" tight. They will move up towards
the base of the shaft. Now you should be able to push the "T's" up into your
groin. Joanne Roberts says some people can't do this because there's a set
of muscles there that need to be stretched. I've also been told that a
hernia operation can make this impossible. Some girls "T's" will move up
there all by themselves in the cold. All I can say is try, but don't hurt
yourself.

Okay, pull the loose skin up over the penis on either side and tape it there
with the strip of tape you have. You should wrap the tape around the sheath
of skin you pull up and it must be as close to the base as possible. Some of
you may require a second wrap of tape to keep the T's up in their new home.

Now just pull the penis between your legs and pull your panties up. Some
girls like to secure the penis with another piece of tape so it doesn't
shift around or pop out. Cindy Ames likes to use a panty liner both to
smooth the area more and to absorb any "leaks." I tried this and it's kind
of cool using a feminine pad.

Eventually you may want to take all this off. If you just remove the tape
everything will fall back into place within a minute or two. If not, gently
press on the lower belly and they should pop right out.

The nice thing about this is you can still go to the bathroom, even if you
decide to tape the shaft in place. Many of us tuck even when not dressed so
you know it can't be uncomfortable. If you are actively trying to have
children at the time I read a medical report that said you shouldn't tuck or
wear tight panties for 24 hours before having sex. Something about proper
sperm production requiring temperatures below 90� or something. I don't know
how true that is. By the way, it IS possible to have sex while tucked too as
long as you don't tape the shaft in place.

All those annoying disclaimers apply here. This is supplied for
informational purposes only and contains information based on personal
experiences and hearsay. Any use of this information is at your own risk.

I'd like to thank Cindy Ames for sending me her experiences with tucking and
Krystle and the other girls for telling me how they do it.

Donna's Note: Danskin (maker of dancing/exercise wear) offers a dancer's
belt and it is like a tight brief and allows you to tuck the penis between
your legs and smoothes the testicles. A panty girddle will do the same
thing. As I got older I simply avoided tight skirts. At 40 and over it makes
more sense to dress with flowing skirts that are comfortable. I still tuck
and use a panty shield (Kotex Lightdays extra coverage) but do not have to
worry about the buldge! On really hot days, I tend to hang about in boxers
that are so loose you can't even make out my bulge and a lacy tank. In the
near future, I might get a femme version of boxer shorts.

How about you?

Are you still in the tight dress mode?

Do you have a problem with tucking?
