Tucking is a technique used to hide the bulge of a penis, which can be achieved through various methods, such as the inguinal canal tuck,[1] or with a specialized compression garment such as a gaffe or dance belt[2] — the latter of which is used by dancers, trapeze artists, and figure skaters to achieve the same. [3] Tucking is often used by trans women, as well as crossdressers, female impersonators, and drag queens.
