This comfortable compression panty ‘grey’ made of sturdy 4-way stretch Jersey is slightly higher at the waist and wider at the crotch, making it ideal for safe tucking. The front and crotch areas are made of a double layer of this cotton fabric. As reinforcement, there is a layer of tightly woven polyester between the cotton layers, which hardly stretches. This creates a lot of pressure at the front, keeping everything well in place and looking smooth in the panty.

You wear a soft cotton fabric on your skin and no polyester! This is important because cotton is breathable and absorbs moisture well, which can help prevent skin irritation and infections (Cleveland Clinic). Additionally, the breathable property of cotton ensures that the skin stays cool and dry, significantly enhancing comfort (Clue Tracker).

The openings of the panty are finished with stretch bands, ensuring everything stays perfectly in place within the panty. This not only provides extra comfort but also helps prevent unwanted shifts or slips, which is especially important with compression underwear.

What is the compression panty ‘grey’ made of?

• Material of the panty: 80% cotton, 15% polyester, 5% elastane
• Reinforcement material: 95% polyester, 5% elastane
• Washing instructions: Wash at 40°, suitable for the dryer

What does scientific research say about the compression panty?

Scientific research shows that well-designed compression clothing can help improve posture and reduce pain and discomfort during prolonged wear. The combination of the right materials and design can also contribute to an improved self-image and self-confidence for the wearer. Studies have shown that compression clothing, such as binders and tucking underwear, is often used by transgender individuals to reduce gender dysphoria and align their appearance with their gender identity, leading to improved psychological well-being and reduced stress and anxiety (Oxford Academic) (SpringerLink).

What is tucking?

Tucking means hiding one’s genitals, such as the penis and scrotum, so they are less noticeable under clothing. This technique, also known as ‘tucking,’ is often used by transgender people, drag performers, or others who want to conceal their genitals to create a smoother and more feminine appearance. Compression underwear can be used for this.

There are various methods for tucking. The goal is to achieve a smoother belly and groin area, for example, by pushing the penis backward between the legs. Some people use special tucking strings, compression underwear, or other garments to do this and maintain the position. The compression panty ‘grey’ is an example of compression underwear that is safe and effective for tucking.

Why is safe tucking so important?

Safe tucking is crucial to avoid health problems and discomfort. Unsafe tucking can lead to reduced sperm production, lower sperm quality, skin irritations, and even changes in penis structure. Here are some guidelines for safe tucking:

1. Use the right size: Ensure the compression underwear fits well and is not too tight.
2. Limit wearing time: Do not wear compression underwear for more than 8 hours a day and avoid sleeping with compression underwear on. This helps give your skin and genitals rest and space.
3. Take breaks: Regularly take breaks from wearing compression underwear, especially if you notice discomfort or pain.
4. Hydrate and care for the skin: Ensure your skin stays clean and hydrated to prevent irritations.
5. Keep compression underwear clean: Washing compression underwear daily can also help prevent skin problems.
6. Listen to your body: If you experience pain, itching, or other discomforts, stop immediately and consult a doctor if necessary.

What are the benefits of tucking?

• Gender expression: Tucking can help people who are transgender, drag performers, or others achieve a more feminine or gender-neutral appearance, enhancing their sense of identity and self-confidence.
• Clothing options: It can be easier to wear certain clothing items, such as tight dresses, leggings, or swimwear, without the shape of the penis being visible.

What are the drawbacks of tucking?

• If you tuck regularly and for long periods: There are some negative effects to consider. Tucking can affect the quantity and quality of sperm. If you have a desire to have children, you may need to freeze sperm before starting to tuck or limit tucking.
• Potential skin infections: The area between your legs is often warm and moist, causing sweating. It’s important to keep your skin dry and cool between tucks. It’s also wise to avoid tucking when you’re alone or wearing loose clothing like a skirt or pants.
• Initial discomfort and difficulty: Tucking can be uncomfortable at first and difficult to do correctly without practice. Incorrect tucking can lead to pain, skin irritation, blood circulation problems, and even permanent damage to the genitals. Medical advice emphasizes the importance of caution and avoiding excessive pressure to prevent these issues.

Tucking the penis is a practice that requires care and respect for physical health. This compression panty ‘grey’ is perfect voor safe tucking.
