For Trans Women

Guides to gaffs, tucking, shaping and fit, written for an ordinary Tuesday rather than for a photograph. The questions here are mostly practical: what holds up for a full day, what stops rubbing by hour nine, and what to do when a garment nearly works.

Where a question is a medical one, you will find the study it came from and a link to it. Where the honest answer is that nobody has studied it properly, you will find that instead.

Is Tucking Safe? What the Research Actually Shows

Two peer-reviewed studies, and the one finding that changes how you do it: risk tracks with hours per day, not with years of practice.

More guides are in progress, including choosing a gaff for everyday wear, sizing, and what works under leggings. If there is a question you want answered here, the newsletter is the easiest way to send it.
