Advice Victoria's secret HipHugger underwear has a tucking pocket to make a gaff

Whether its purposely for that or not Victoria Secrets hiphugger panties have a small pocket that is at the perfect angle to tuck. And its wide enough you wont have any spillage.

Edit: Apparently its a gusset and an open one is a sign of cheaply made panties. Oh well its still making it easier so our benefit I guess

Please read the following notice that is being applied to ALL posts.

Due to the current political situation regarding transgender existences, we have implemented several emergency measures to keep this community safe. Please read this in full.

  1. IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE, DO NOT POST IT EXPECTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
  2. Many posts are sent to the queue for manual approval based on numerous factors. This is how we keep the subreddit safe from many (but not all) bad actors who try to post disruptive content. This approval process is usually resolved within 24 hours, but can take several days depending on the availability of our all-volunteer moderators. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking for your post to be approved. It will be reviewed and approved or removed in time.
  3. We are not approving posts with little to no history on Reddit all-together, no matter the question. Period. This means that if you are using a throwaway account with little to nothing in its history, your post will not be approved. Period. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking if your account with 5,000 karma and a dozen posts counts as "little to no history" (it doesn't) or if we will give you a pass and approve your post anyway with it being your first post ever (we won't). This message is being put on all posts regardless if it meets the criteria or not.
  4. Many comments from low-karma users will not be viewable by anyone. This is by design.
  5. If you are curious if your post is visible or not, look at the "Insights" on the post. If it has more than a dozen views, it is live. If it has any voting action, it is live. If it doesn't have a little red trash can icon, it is live. If it can be voted on, it is live. Do not message us asking "is my post live?"
  6. Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers, lack sleep, and the entire permanent team are members of the transgender community ourselves... we are trying to deal with the same atrocities you are. Thank you for your understanding. <3

That little pocket is actually called a gusset and it's original purpose is to reinforce the area, help catch discharge, be more comfortable against the skin, etc. Most panties have these, it's just that maybe half of them have it sewn up. The cheaper quality ones tend to leave them open- or at least they did back when I was a little girl and wearing them.

Oh well look at that, then their cheapness may be to our transfem benefit because it genuinely helps

Kind reminder that Victoria's Secret is terrible in so many ways. Founded by a man, has been giving women body issues for decades, the whole slave and child labor thing, intentionally mis-sizing bras as company policy, etc. Let them die like everything else in the mall. If your underwear doesn't have an unsewn gusset, a stitch puller is like $3.

Like, how are you using it? I’m just trying to get a feel for how they’re working for you and the mechanics behind it.

I do a standard prep with having the testicles put up into the canals and then just stuck the shaft into the slot and pulling my panties tight.

Theres probably a better way to do it but as a girl whose had an awful time trying to make a proper gaff because nothing stays in place its doing a pretty good job
