I tried using tape once, just once, ouch...
I discovered tucking pretty early and have been doing it for a long time. At first I needed an elastic type panty to hold everything in place, now I can wear the little pretty ones with no problem at all, even under shorts or jeans.
I was just wondering....I've been thinking of tucking all the time. all my underwear is female. I have no male underwear. Bra and panties is all i wear. My question is, how many of you tuck all the time and is there a danger to tucking all the time. I know about the little soldiers dying as a result, due to the fact that the body temp is cooler when they are being made. but is there any other dangers to tucking all the time?

Increased body testicular temperature can increase the risk of Sertoli cell cancer but the risk would be minimal because you don't keep "them" that warm all the time.
If you cut off blood supply by tucking (again rare) you can cause the testes to die and worse would be when blood flow return you could release cytokines that could cause strokes or death (not likely)
You asked if there is a risk, the answer would be yes but minimal

I never tuck. Things are held down, but tucking- not comfortable.

I've never been happier about my boxer shorts after reading this. Though I am presently now worried about how warm my tights are.
For years I hoped I was just a CDer but now I realize I am transgender and that's alright.
I'll tuck for periods of up to 6 or 8 hours but then let the little guy cool down... But never 24/7... I have enough medical issues to add one more.. You also reduce the sperm count by keep them warmer... They don't hange down away from the body for nothig ya know.. Even briefs vs boxers can effect sperm count..
i dont really need to tuck as i'm not,well,you know lol
Other than taking a shower I am tucked and have been that way for years.

I dunno but ouch.Just the thought of doing that stuff makes me cringe.
I want to do it, have tried but just can't seem to get it right.
thanks for all the replies. This is one thought that just jumped in to my head after reading an article on testicular cancer. I am a very active person. I jog, swim, bike etc alot. So i usually wear spandex and tight fitting clothing. My underwear is all female and i just thought of what sort of dangers are there if one tucks 24/7. I've never tried myself to tuck for more that 8 hours. Then i have to let the boyz cool down. i find it uncomfortable to be tucked for more time than that. another reason i thought about it is because i dont think the underwear would look quite right if i wasnt tucked.

I learned about tucking over 20 years ago but I never really took to it, because whilst not exactly uncomfortable, I was always aware of being tucked, and that spoiled the situation for me, because I was aware of my genitals in a way that I wouldn't be otherwise. And there are plenty of female undergarments that just hold things close.

The only drawback I've found is that the boys are very vulnerable out front, so doing "full contact" work like carrying heavy stuff or leaning over the fender of a car can cause a lot of pain...
My job is quite physical so I do not tuck at work anymore, but outside of work I've been tucked for about the last 2 years. I can't sleep untucked anymore, it feels weird with all that stuff flopping around down there.
Even though I am planning on SRS in the near future, I decided to try out a gaff from Koala called “the sweet spot.” If you have been looking for a feminized appearance with tight clothes but do not want the hassle of taping, I would suggest trying the sweet spot. The only thing to know is although after understanding how to put it on you will find it easy but without watching their video, you may have troubles figuring out how to put the gaff on. I know this because I had issues figuring out how to properly use it and called their contact number, they pointed me to the training video, and that was all it took, less than two minute after watching the video I was completely smooth. The price is a few bucks more than other gaffs but I believe this gaff is worth the extra dollars.
Caveat; there is a huge ring that when looking at the gaff is not easily seen until you watch the training video.
Lastly I am not placing their web link here as I am not here to advertise but to inform. If you want their link use Google or let me know if it's okay to post their link here.

When we were "trying" to get pregnant, I learned all about boxers/briefs - cold showers - and just about anything else to keep the body temp cooler "down there". It really does make a difference, so if you're thinking about fathering a child, "Let 'em breathe!" ~~giggle~~

Where did you find the training video? I saw the Sweet Spot, and it certainly looks like it works...

Actually I didn't find it, I was frustrated in that after getting the sweet spot it was not intuitive how to use it and called the company because of this and that it had a huge ring which at first I thought was for penetration and that is not what I wanted at all. When calling him I asked if I could return my order and he said sure but first look at the video and said even if I tried it on I could still return it. So I watched the video and then tried the sweet spot on. Let me tell you, I have been using a gaff from another site since 1995 at which time I purchased about 20 of them just to insure I had backups. These gaffs are the best I have found but the sweet spot is a close second. I only looked to the sweet spot because the other site changed the design which does not work for me.
The gaffs I purchased years ago allow me to tuck in less than five seconds (standing up) but leave a slight budge in the rear end which is not good for tight light color dresses but perfect for tight jeans.
The sweet spot after having it for two days I can tuck in roughly 30 seconds, more work but I believe it's worth the extra time.
Here is another thought, I have seen great ideas on tucking in this thread but when it comes to using tape vs a good gaff I go with the gaff for speed of tucking and also when needing to use the rest room you can not beat a good gaff.
After going to this page look down the left side for "preview" section and click on the link for a video.

Another decent gaff (see link below) although in my opinion is not as good as the sweet spot works well and if you purchase six drops the price down from the single price. I purchased 12 of these before finding the sweet spot.
Out of the three different gaffs I tried the older one (not available now) were the best for me while the sweet spot to me is better then the ones from the link below.

Well... I wear panty hose with the crotch cut out, then my low-rise Jockey shorts, then a gaff, then a girdle with garters and it all works fine. But then again I usually wear skirts 98% of the time so the tape isn't for my style. And I wear black stockings over the panty hose and you can't see the hair on my unshaved legs.
I've tried taping, but my skin is too sensitive and I can't keep it on too long. A good tuck and stuff, and a well fitting pair of panties works well enough for me most of the time.

The most important reasons I use well designed gaffs is the easy of tucking, easy to go to the rest room and I can wear anything I want without worries. I wear pencil style jeans and when in a dress they are form fitting so other methods at least for me are not good enough especially when thinking about going potty I want complete ease. Everyone has different reasons for their own methods, I always gravitate to what is practical as stated above.

Great advice!! I have always wondered how to keep the family hidden. I am trying the tighter panites as of right now and it is working better. The tape will be next. I don't get to dress much as I am married and she has no idea that I am aware of so my time is limited. Thanks again!!
I don't tuck. I suppose because i usually wear high waist full skirts there's no need
Hi girls
I still have a problem with it as I can't get the tape to work(it is still painful to sit down and to walk).
I don't think I have the skill to do it.
Lots of Love

I'm thinking of just going ahead and buying a panty gaff. I've got the tucking down...rather easy to do actually. I also have discovered., at least with me anyway, that tucking also helps with a more convincing girl walk as it allows my legs to get closer together, without any obstructions.
