Tucking refers to a technique where a person tucks their genitals between their legs in order to create a more feminine appearance. This technique is commonly used by transgender women, drag performers, and crossdressers. 

Tucking can be done in a variety of ways, depending on a person's anatomy and personal preference. 

Deleted on Reddit speaks on their tucking experience;

At first I was scared of tucking. It even gave me the heebie jeebies just to think about. But after I did it once, I realised that those canals are made for testicles to go into. And they sometimes go there on their own. I've been tucking for a couple of months now and I don't even need to push them up anymore. I just put my member in place, then I use the flat palm of that same hand to guide them upward instead of anywhere else. They'll go into the canals on their own. It gets more comfortable as time goes on.

There are several methods of tucking that can be used, depending on a person's anatomy and personal preference. Let's take a look at some of them;

• One common method is to use a gaff. Gaffs come in various styles, including thongs, briefs, and shorts. Some people prefer to wear two pairs of underwear, with the first pair worn backwards and the second pair worn normally, in order to achieve a similar effect.

• Another method of tucking is to use medical tape or adhesive strips to secure the genitals between the legs. This technique is often used by drag performers and can be more effective than using a gaff. However, it can also be more uncomfortable and can cause irritation or chafing if not done correctly.

• A third method of tucking is to use a homemade or commercial tucking device, such as a homemade sock or a commercial tucking panty. These devices are designed to hold the genitals securely in place, creating a smoother appearance without the discomfort of medical tape or the limitations of a gaff.

Despite its benefits, tucking can also carry some risks. Here are a few risks that come with tucking;

1. One of the main risks is discomfort or pain, particularly if the tucking is done too tightly or for extended periods of time. This can lead to chafing, irritation, and even injury. It's important to listen to your body and take breaks if you experience any discomfort.
2. Another risk of tucking is the potential for infection, particularly if the area is not kept clean and dry. It's important to practise good hygiene when tucking, including washing the area with soap and water and keeping it dry. Some people also find it helpful to use a powder or cornstarch to absorb moisture and prevent chafing.
   
   

If you are considering tucking, there are several tips you can follow to ensure that it is done safely and effectively.

• First and foremost, it is important to choose a method that is comfortable for you and your anatomy. This may require some trial and error, but it's important to listen to your body and find a method that works best for you.

• Also, remember to take breaks and give your body time to rest. If you experience any discomfort or pain, ensure you  stop tucking and give your body time to recover. You can also use a warm compress or take a warm bath to help soothe any irritation or chafing.

• Make sure you observe good hygiene during and after the period of tucking. Wash the area with soap and water. You may also use some talcum powder to keep the area dry and less-immune to the growth of bacteria.

Kim-Ann on Quora speaks on how long a crossdresser should tuck for;

For as long as he needs to - keeping in mind a few medically sound reasons to limit the time you tuck (assuming the testes are pushed into the inguinal canal) and tape (assuming a tape with medical grade adhesives).

• IS TUCKING DANGEROUS?
  It's important to note that tucking can be uncomfortable, especially for those who are new to the practice. In some cases, tucking can even cause pain or injury if done incorrectly or for extended periods of time. As such, it's important to take breaks as needed and to listen to your body's signals. If tucking is causing discomfort or pain, it may be necessary to adjust your technique or to try a different method altogether.
• CAN EVERYONE PRACTISE TUCKING?
  It is worth noting that tucking isn't for everyone. Some individuals may find that the discomfort and inconvenience of tucking outweighs the benefits, or that it doesn't provide the results they're looking for. Ultimately, the decision to tuck or not to tuck is a personal one that should be based on individual preferences, comfort levels, and goals.

Tucking is a great way for trans women and other individuals to create the genital area they are confident of and feel more comfortable in. Although it might not tickle everyone's fancy,  if you would be practising it, ensure you observe all safety precautions while at it. Goodluck and stay safe.
