Whether you’re transgender, transfeminine, or going for a flawless drag look, tucking is a great way to boost your confidence and hide telltale bulges. While using tape can give you an extra secure tuck, it also comes with a higher risk of health problems, like skin irritation and bladder infections. The good news is that it’s totally possible to tuck without tape. In this article, we’ll tell you how to do a safe, secure, tape-free tuck.
How to Tuck Without Tape
Pull a pair of underwear or gaff up to your thighs and gently push your testes up to the inguinal canal. Then, wrap your penis around the scrotum to secure your genitals before pulling your underwear or gaff up all the way.
