  • So theres a few ways i tend to go about it. Cw anatomy for this whole thing.

    If you feel any pain, stop. This isnt something to fuck around with, and you can give yourself hernias and make your life more difficult if you ignore and try to power through the pain. Thats not to say you 100% will, just that it is a possibility. Its also important to look out for any numbness or similar.

    general principles
    1. Locate your inguinal canals. They are on either side of your genitals, and open into the scrotum. They are small tubes that run up and out towards your hips. If you feel around beside the base of the penis and kind of crook your finger towards yourself you should find them. It may be easier to do this laying down.
    2. Press your testicles into the canals. They may be difficult to fit, especially if you arent on hrt or havent experienced testicular atrophy from hrt. If you feel any pain stop immediately. These canals are not stretchy and can be damaged. Similarly to step 0, it may be easier to do this laying down.
    3. Pull your penis back towards your anus, almost pinching it between your butt cheeks. Optionally you can wrap your scrotum around the shaft of the penis, or tuck it back with the penis.
    tucking panties

    These are pretty self explanatory. They are panties with a wider gusset and made out of either compression material or a more rigid material than other panties. You just do the general principles and then pull the panties on. I find it easiest to tuck my testicles into the canals, pull on the panties, and then tuck the penis back and readjust everything to be nice and tight.

    If i need a bulletproof tuck and am using tucking panties, i pair them with heavy duty compression top pantyhose, which hold everything almost too well.

    tucking tape

    WARNING: do not use duct tape, or any kind of tape not meant for sensitive skin!

    For this you will need to shave your pubic hair and potentially your shaft and butt cheeks.

    As per tucking panties, do the general principles, but let the penis itself hang for now. (Also i have only been able to do this standing).

    Once you have the testicles in the canals, wrap your scrotum around the shaft of your penis and then wrap it in a single strip of tape, to hold it together as a single unit. If you do this just right it will look like labia under your panties when done. It should kind of look like a hot dog in a bun.

    Now do the actual tuck by getting two strips of tape long enough to go from your pubic bone to your butt cheek, and apply them to your skin on or above your pubic bone at such an angle that they cross and make an X over the shaft of the penis. How far forward/back on the shaft is up to you, youll have to play around with it to find what works best. The goal is to have just the head poking out from the center of the X, as this will allow you to pee without un- and retucking. Often the tape wont hold for multiple adhesions, so this is important.

    Now pull the penis back, while making sure not to let the tape adhere to anything. Once its in position, apply the tape to your butt cheeks to hold everything in place.

    There is an alternative to this if you only have one wide strip of tape: find where the tip of your penis would hit the tape when tucked, and cut a vertical slit there. Place some paper over the adhesive directly around the slit. Now tape everything up as normal (without the X of course) and make sure the tip of your penis is pulled through the slit before adhering the tape to your butt (in this case your butt crack).

    This all allows you to pee while tucked, though you may need to fish around and pull your penis head out. Because of how muscles and the urethra become oriented while tucked you will need to wipe and may need panty liners in case of leakage. This is entirely ymmv territory, ive spoken to girls who need liners and girls who stay bone dry.




  • I hope the show is wonderful!! What kind of show is it? And im glad you like the liner, finding something that works for you is always so nice ^^

    eyeliner

    Ooh what was the UD liquid liner (Ive been looking for a new liquid liner)? I love tightlining and doing my waterline but the gel always gets smudgy and the liquid either runs or flakes… I also just need a new eyeliner. The KVD tattoo i had still has liner in it but the applicator dries before Ive finished half an eye, and my loreal liquid liner has a fucked up applicator brush (i can use it… But its hard. Plus it isnt waterproof so no tightlining vivian-shrug)

    The kvd was really frustrating cause it used to have a brush applicator that was wonderful, but the new one i bought (well, bought a year ago…) has a felt tip and its so hard to use cause the very tip of it dries out so quickly! Its so frustrating cause I like the liner liquid, but cant get to it lea-pout

    Its really hard to reach out, especially when you feel responsible for hurting someone by pulling away, or really any feelings stemming from “i am bad/did bad thing” though processes.

    I think you should reach out to her! She maybe was worried about you. But be prepared to selfcrit and eat crow yk? Being up front honest and vulnerable with people is so hard. I find success in vocalizing my shit feelings like “hey, im pretty anxious right now so im going to hang back for a minute” or “hey this venue is really overwhelming for me, so im gonna step outside where its less so”.

    hopefully this isnt insulting or pretentious, but if you want some help writing that letter...

    Heya name,

    I know we havent spoken in a long time, and I wanted to reach out and apologize for pulling away like I did. I was in a really bad space and wasnt treating myself or others with the respect and care i should have. I really enjoyed our friendship, and if youd like to get together and grab a cup of coffee i would love to catch up. I hope youre doing well, and that life is treating you with care.

    Love and hugs, (or sincerely, or whatever sign off youd prefer)

    If you want to, you could maybe include a short bit about wanting to own your shit, be a good friend, and show up in your social relationships in a way that you didnt back when you were pulling away and self-isolating.

    Firstly, hugs cuddle

    Im sorry, that sounds really rough.

    easily overstimulated and agoraphobic and get sensory overload just grocery shopping sometimes

    I know this way too well. I cant go shopping without a friend with me, and even then its gotta be 10 items or less yea

    Fwiw, if your friends were worth their salt as friends, they would be happy to hear from you, saying hi and apologizing for ghosting and reaching out to maybe spend some time together.

    hey so I know I look like (gestures at grotesque self) this, but I’m actually kind of a chick and a weird enby person

    Honestly (warning opinion incoming), dont take the apologetic approach with this stuff imo. Its better to assert yourself (as hard as that can be).

    Idk sorry, I feel really stuck and like I’ve really screwed myself for having an irl social life

    Theres no need to apologize meow-hug theres always today to reach out to people, and its never to late; take all the time you need, but youre not screwed out of anything. Yeah its hard (oh god is it hard) but its worth it to have irl support and friendship.

    I hope my rambling was alright, im a bit out of it rn.
