How to Make Homemade Gaffs

Cross dressers wear gaffs underneath form-fitting clothing.

Gaffs are undergarments worn by some members of the transgender community and cross-dressing performers. Gaffs are intended to comfortably hold male genitalia out of sight, allowing men and transgendered persons to wear tight pants, dresses, skirts and swimsuits with no visible bulge. Commercial gaffs can be quite expensive, but you can make your own with a pair of old pantyhose.

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Pantyhose
• Clear nail polish or anti-fray glue

1. • 1
     Cut one leg off the pantyhose and twist it to make a thin rope.
   • 2
     Hold the pantyhose rope around your waist and tie one free end in a simple knot around the other free end to make an adjustable knot. You have now made the waistband.
   • 3
     Cut off 10 inches of the other pantyhose leg, from the top of the thigh down, to make a tube. Treat the cut ends with clear nail polish or anti-fraying glue to prevent runs.
   • 4
     Slip the tube around the waistband so the tube rests in the center, where the crotch will be. The gaff is now ready to wear.

Tucking tips for crossdressers using gaff

When dressing as a woman, a man has to be careful not to reveal himself as a man. This is especially difficult if you want to wear tight clothing. This is where a gaff comes in. It helps to flatten the male genitalia creating a smoothing effect in that area. Follow these steps to wear a gaff.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Shave your pubic area before taping and putting on your gaff. You don't want to get your pubic hair caught in the tape or under the gaff because it will pull and hurt.
   • 2
     Tuck your testicles up in to the cavity of your abdomen. This cavity is directly behind your testicles and is where they were located when you were young. Be gentle. If this is painful you're doing it incorrectly.
   • 3
     Tape your testicles so they don't fall out of the cavity. Do not place the tape on your pubic hair if you failed to shave because the tape will be painful to remove.
   • 4
     Lie down and pull the gaff up to your thighs. The wider part is the front of the gaff while the thinner portion is the back.
   • 5
     Pull your penis between your legs so that it is tucked up in the back. Pull up your gaff and you should have a nice, smooth front to wear tight fitting clothes.
