“I'm glad I took advantage of a sale to try these for the first time, because I ultimately was able to spend a little bit less money trying to find out if the sizing works. The answer is -- no, it doesn't. TomboyX claims they fit test on different kinds of bodies, but after trying 3 sizes, from 2x (what the size chart says I should fit in) to 4x, I can confirm that none of them work. I'm 5'6", 265lbs, with a 48" hips (and a wider waist -- trans girls take note, this product claims to be for tucking but the size chart clearly anticipates a traditionally AFAB waist to hip ratio. This product was not actually designed, manufactured, or promoted with the interests in mind of the community it purports to be for.)
If you're a person who wears "regular" sizes, maybe these will work for you. But the waist is so crazy low that no trans woman of size is gonna be able to haul these things far up enough on her fupa to actually get them to stay at her waist. You'll spend all day going to the bathroom and pulling them up again, only to have them fall back off your butt before you reach the water fountain. Truly stupendous how badly these fit. The rise is simply terrible for the size of person who would need a 2x to 4x and reflects absolutely 0 work put into getting the sizing right beyond "make the waistband wider for the fatties."
If you're a big girl, save your cash for stuff that's better. After exhausting the option to have 1 pair as a try on size that you can return, I ended up having the next 2 size try-ons be unreturnable, and literally turned them into quilting squares afterwards because they were absolutely useless trash otherwise. From size 2X and up, the claims to have fit tested on large people are simply false. Maybe they did it on some tall fat people, but they certainly didn't do it widely enough to have designed a product that works for everyone. Do better, TomboyX. This was my first attempt with this brand, and it will definitely be my last. I don't want to associate with a company that doesn't take the time to fit test all ranges of bodies, especially ones that claim to do that, but clearly don't.”
Thank you for the detailed feedback, Rose M. We're sorry to hear these weren't a good fit for you. While we do have several fit testers for our tucking underwear, every body is different. We do have some additional styles coming out in our tucking underwear this Fall that might be a better fit for you, including some with a higher rise. But whether you decide to try these out or not, we really do appreciate your feedback.
“Being above averagely endowed, I found these panties more helpful then a gaff pair. The material is super soft and the colors the come in are amazing. Highly recommend these to all that “tuck” for everyday. I am really enjoying this brand. I wish I could be a spokesperson for them. Thanks tomboyX ! Luv y’all
P. S. Love the bras too”
“Was given this as a gift and i am extremely disappointed. I will start with the positives: the fabric is good quality. That's about it.
The fabric has 0 stretch anywhere and therefore is incredibly tight all over, even after upgrading above my usual size. Why is it so small? Overall this is a poor quality product, which is a shame because I've had very good luck with tomboyx in the past.”
Hi there!
Thank you for providing your feedback. We are so sorry to hear you didn't love your purchase. Our Tucking Bikini.
Our Tucking Bikini was designed specifically for trans women and nonbinary folks who prefer to conceal their anatomy; it provides a safe, gentle tuck via compression and is a great alternative to tape tucking.
If you find the compression to be tighter than you would like, we also offer a Bikini option in our Cotton Spandex and super soft TENCEL™ Modal fabric.
“I have a blue pair and two pink. Very comfortable and keeps me tucked all day and gives me the feminine look under my tight jeans. Wish they came in more colors though with matching bras.”
“Excellent tuck and very comfy. I wish it was a little bit of a higher rise, but the low-rise might be by design to provide the impressively secure hold compared to other well-known brands of gaff panties. The strong mesh lining on the inside of the front half is very soft and breathable. These fit me better than other bikini or cheeky-cut panties I've tried. I really hope the positive feedback on these leads to more cuts, like a thong, becoming available as tucking bottoms. This color is also really cute and works as a bold accent with more neutral-colored bras, though I wish TomboyX offered matching bra designs that accomodate inserts, for gender-affirming reasons.”
“I have the tucking bikini in three colors, two in M and one in S. They're very good, not my favorite tucking panty on the market, but it's awesome to see TomboyX broadening the possibilities of tucking underwear beyond just Etsy creators and weird lingerie brands. For me, the small gives good support but rides too low on the waist; the medium is a comfier overall fit but doesn't give as good tucking support. With both sizes, I want the gusset to be wider to really hold everything inside. I actually slightly prefer TomboyX's standard boyshorts as everyday undies for their comfort and coverage, even though the tuck support is worse (fine on most casual days since I rarely wear leggings or tight bottoms). But -- what if TomboyX made a tucking boyshort?? Hmm!”
