Read safety basics ↓People tuck for many reasons, including gender expression and clothing fit. There is no single technique that suits every body. Tight compression or forcibly repositioning anatomy can cause pain or injury. If you're unsure what's safe for your anatomy, ask a qualified healthcare professional.
Adhesives can irritate or tear delicate skin, especially during removal. Never use household tapes or adhesives on genital skin. If you experience irritation, stop and let the area heal.
Stop tucking if you experience pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, discoloration, urinary difficulty, or skin injury. Seek medical advice for persistent symptoms.
