To Tuck or Not to Tuck

[postquote quote=450934]
heard some of the newer models coming out or out now are more breathable

I’ll keep a lookout for them. It’s definitely intriguing.

LOL. Honestly, I didn’t know he difference until I got to college and we had communal showers.  There is a difference between the two. A shower doesn’t grow as much but begins in a much...um...fuller state. The difference between pre and post is not as much. A grower, on the other hand, has a much greater difference between pre and post excitement.

I have all the options. I do have some control top shapewear, hundreds of different panties, tights and everything. It all depends on what I am wearing that determines what I need down below. I have also come to love bodysuits for not having to constantly tuck a shirttail in. If my pants or leggings or bodycon skirt have a visible frontal area, then hiding the stuff is of great importance to me. But that’s just me . I know not everyone is as picky.

Ugh!! I couldn’t agree more. 27 pounds (12 kilos to the rest of the world) and I still have the tummy bulge. I have been avoiding using shapewear. But I am wearing a waist cincher under my outfit as I type this. My hope is that as the weather improves with the seasons, I will start mountain biking regularly again and take care of that pooch and love handles.

Patty was always popular at the the college parties. She dressed to be noticed, admired and adored. Going there in my sexy and very short bodycon dress got even more attention. I didn't realize it right away, but in my excitement, I soon learned it was because of my prominent bump.

it was a great party dress but definitely not a day at the mall dress.

I love a good A-line dress/skirt or Skater girl mini.

It makes the need to tuck moot.

I also find that I don't need to worry about using hip padding with that shape. I don't have wide hips of course, so in bodycon/pants, hip pads help the femme shape.

So, I like the A-line flare, and tend also to buy "separates" since my top half and bottom half tend not to fill a one piece item as a GG would. 46-36-41 aren't correct GG proportions after all.

Probably not for me.

It seems a lot of faff and inconvenience for such a small adjustment to the appearance.

Or maybe that's just me 😊

Love Laura

I could not tuck all day, I would be very uncomfortable, but in a given day, I am tucked about 3-4 hours overall. I tuck for sure at the gym, my swimming suit or leggings don't look quite right if I am not. I will generally then shower there and tuck and go to work. By about noon, I am done and it needs to be repositioned. The pulling, sweat, and heat just become too much by lunchtime. Around 4 or 5 I may tuck again for a few more hours but that is about it.

I love to tuck. I can tuck 6-8 hours easy. It would be my dream to get rid of it as I should have never had it in the first place. Tucking allows me to feel more like the woman I am!

I can manage a full day but it does get uncomfortable if I am doing a lot of sitting. Generally, I just try to wear something that I don’t show. But I love wearing leggings and fitted skirts. I guess I’ll go all day one a week. Twice at the most. Usually for 12 hours.

That’s kinda where I stand though. I try to see how noticeable things are. If it’s a small adjustment, I might wear a tight pair of booty shorts to smooth things out. But sometimes the adjustment isn’t small. I have a pet peeve about panty lines so you can imagine how the bulge makes me feel.

We’re in the same boat. I also like the skirts with extra ruffle layers to help fill out my hips and eliminate the need to tuck. I haven’t bought any hips yet. But I have been dropping pounds and I am less proportionate than I previously was. So, I am seriously considering getting some but I might wait until I lose another 15 pounds. With my forms, I am 43-35-40 (as of two weeks ago). Last November, I was 47-42-42

I'm with you on the not-so needy all the time for tucking. I love long, loose, full skirts where there is no real need to hide my "plumbing". I hold it in place up front with a "dance belt", the thing that male ballet dancers wear to hold and to keep their unmentionables unnoticeable.
It's like a strong thong but not as male jock basic as a jock strap. Under a skirt, with a little ruffle or crinolyn (sp?) it works is cool and feels special. 25$-35$ on Amazon.
Here's where going tuckless really helps.....I can easily tuck my gonads and my penis inside for a really nice tuck...but that combined with a support pantie or a gaff reduces the space for your bladder to expand. Unless you really love the ladies' loo experience it's something to consider, especially while in transit.

I’ve read about the dance belts before but forgot all about them. Thanks for the reminder. I could really use a good alternative for some of my tight fitting clothes.
