'''Tucking''' is the process of positioning the penis and testicles in a specific way so that the genital area looks flat. Tucking is often done by transfeminine people as part of their [[gender expression]]. There is specialised underwear for tucking, called ''gaffs'', but it can also be done using medical tape or a tight pair of underwear. | '''Tucking''' is the process of positioning the penis and testicles in a specific way so that the genital area looks flat.

Tucking | Tucking without tape follows a similar method. To start, pull on a pair of underwear or a gaff up to your knees or thighs. This way, it will be easier to secure during the last step. Next, carefully push the testes up to the inguinal canal using two or three fingers, and then wrap the scrotum around the penis. Keep one hand on the penis, and pull it back between your legs and buttocks. With your free hand, pull up the underwear and secure everything. Once everything is secure, you can let go. | ||
Tucking without tape has the advantage of being easier to undo, so going to the bathroom is less of a hassle. Also, there is no risk of skin irritation. However, it's easier for it to come undone.<ref name=":0" /> | Tucking without tape has the advantage of being easier to undo, so going to the bathroom is less of a hassle.
