I don't tuck and avoid skirts that would require it. I have some tight panties and control garments that can facilitate, um, keeping things in place when needed but I have a few skirts and dresses that are marked "NOT FOR GOING OUT" because they show what should not be shown, unless you're taking an Anthony Weiner selfie.

A few weeks ago, I received an unsolicited e-mail from someone at a company called "TransLingerie."
They are a Spanish company and they offered to send me one of their gaffs gratis. Two weeks later, I had a small package containing a brand new black gaff.
It looks a trifle... I won't call it scary. I'll say "uncomfortable." That's always been a problem with gaffs. I don't like the idea of thongs and all of the ones I've seen are thongs or thong-y.
I tried it on and it does hold well and it, alas, does do what thongs do.
I will give it a test next time I'm going out. I'm not sure if I'll give it a trial-by-fire (like, wear it with a Really Tight dress I bought in New York last time I was up there) but I will give it a try and report here.
For the benefit of all who might need to use such a device, do remember to do as sumo wrestlers do; put the boys back up the inguinal canal each descended through way back when. Makes tucking way more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI am curious what your report will be Meg, as I have tried one or two and have hated them! So good tuck! (ha-ha)
ReplyDeleteMeg -
ReplyDeleteThere is a trick to tucking and being comfortable. But even when you know it (it's learned by trial and error), it is a little clumsy - especially immediately after getting out of the shower.
Knowing how to tuck gave me a greater number of wardrobe choices - including wearing leggings, something I'd never do without a good tuck. The other day, I went into NYC with a female friend and we were discussing how I hide my equipment so well, and I described the mechanics of tucking. We were in a situation where both of us felt comfortable with me showing her a flat front (and not my equipment) by me pulling up my skirt, showing my tights and equipment tucked down into place, hidden by panties. She was surprised that I could have a flat front.
BTW - Halle identified how one can make a good tuck comfortable....
