Bitte denken Sie daran, vor der Anwendung einen Teststreifen zu machen.
Hi, are you new here? Great! So this month I really wanted to spend a little bit of time talking specifically to you ladies who are new to this whole tucking thing. I thought I would offer my first experience with TransTape and try and do some troubleshooting with you. It’s a funny little thing. But I’m here to help sort some things out!
So I mean I guess the first thing is why? Fair question right? Well if this IS your first time let me introduce myself. You can call my Aunt Charli and I’m a member of an all trans woman band called Grave Girls. Along with my amazing partner Danielle, who you may have seen around. We find ourselves in public standing up on elevated platforms from time to time. We have a very active production schedule for all of the stuff we’re doing, and sometimes you just want the security of knowing that you’re only showing what you intend to. And that’s it really. It’s practical and I don’t have to worry.
So my first time getting a roll of TransTape in my hands was some years back. A friend of mine who is a part of the company was curious about what a trans woman would think about it. So you know why not? Now I work on stage so if you don’t know, a good roll of tape can just make things go better. I’ve even had to tape a controller to a table mid show a few times when the bass was particularly heavy. I know a good roll of tape.
So the first thing that I noticed was using the traditional drag method of tucking with a tape like this would be a problem. I’m on hormones and surprise surprise I literally have to pee right now. As I’m writing this and a fair chance as you are reading this. So that was the first issue. But I sat down and I came up with a strategy. But I have an entire article about that!
Today I’m just gonna talk about some things you can do to make it easier on your first!
So the first thing to make sure of is that you’ve got a good pair of scissors! You don’t want to be like sawing this stuff with a dull pair of scissors. It’s gonna make everything so much easier. You’ll want to do some trimming on the tape to be as comfy as you can get it.
Now when I’m tucking personally I like to be pretty well shaved. If you use oil as you absolutely should then it will come off just fine, but I don’t want it tugging on hairs or anything. So I keep everything shaved or short. And don’t forget to be nice and clean as well!
Now if you’ve never tucked before and the whole getting your inside parts inside gives you pause then I’ve also got some advice there. Simply take a bit of a cold shower. Everything will just kinda go where it needs to go.
Pretty easy stuff honestly.
Now when you go to start cutting up your tape, even if you are following my template make sure to pay attention to your body! You may need more or less TransTape to create the appropriate support structures. The key is to be comfortable after all.
Okay so now let’s talk a little more about that shall we? This is the biggest part honestly. Everyone's a little different so just make sure you are fitting your TransTape to your body. Maybe you need a little more tape up top to help anchor your business in place. That’s perfectly fine! Sometimes I mess up even. You just have to make little adjustments and in short order you should be good for the evening.
Now one thing I will tell you when you are tucked like this while you absolutely can go to the bathroom I would highly recommend taking a moment to wipe… yes like a girl. Because you don’t want to jam her back in too quickly like a savage. Clean yourself nice and proper. You will thank me and yourself later when you take those panties off at the end of the night.
Now get out there and tape yourself with confidence.
Charli
