Our Ranking Criteria

Urbody Thong Gaff

Starting the list off with the best overall tucking gaff, it’s no surprise we’ve chosen the Urbody Tucking Gaff - one of our first gaffs and a best seller at Tuck & Bind. This gaff offers a smooth, secure, and comfy tucking experience that lasts all day. Made from high-quality compression fabric with a soft cotton lining, it not only gives you a seamless look but keeps you feeling secure no matter what you're doing. The wider gusset adds extra support and coverage, while the strong compression holds everything perfectly in place. It has a great size range from XS to 4XL so both small and plus size builds can appreciate a good tuck! There’s also a range of gorgeous colours including Black, Sand, Rosewater, Dahlia, and Sunshine.

“The Urbody Gaff was my first gaff and still proves to be one of my favourites. It has great compression and smoothing even if you’re not tucked. It’s best for shorter periods of time however if you’re careful with how you tuck you can achieve the same look with comfort for prolonged periods. It offers a great size range and colour options that you typically don’t see with many gaffs.”

AJ Shaping Briefs & Charlies Shaping Briefs

Our pick for the best shaping underwear is the amazing AJ's Shaping Briefs (and the Charlies for a touch of feminine flare - pictured) from Rubies Shine. These briefs are crafted from a soft blend that offers just the right amount of compression for a smoothing effect whether it's under leggings, pants, skirts, or dresses. They’re designed to blend seamlessly providing great shaping without sacrificing comfort. If you love a touch of lace, check out the Charlies Shaping Underwear. It offers the same shaping with a cute lace trim and bow for a little extra charm. Both are available in Black, Pink, and Sandstone, in sizes XS to 4XL (and if we’re out of your size, just let us know and we can special order it for you).

Comfort: 5 / 5
Price: 3 / 5

“Super comfortable but much more of a smoothing effect than tucking. It provides enough shape and smoothing without entirely compressing which makes it more comfortable for longer wears. The softer tuck removes some of the risks associated with tucking so it’s provides some extra piece of mind. Definitely a good option to have on hand!”

If you’re serious about tucking, you can’t go past the new Hidden Cherries Classic Gaff.

Its discreet design ensures a smooth, almost invisible silhouette under any clothing, making it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. With a fabric bridge that secures everything in place and a versatile, comfortable fit, the Classic Gaff is a perfect tucking brief!

Compression: 4 / 5
Comfort: 4 / 5

“It’s honestly great to find a brief gaff as most gaffs tend to be a thong style. The brief holds the same level of compression while not being a G which is perfect if you prefer a brief style. There’s also great support around either side of the crotch. While it is on the pricer side, it’s definitely worth it!”

Hidden Cherries Thong Gaff

Much like the Classic Brief, the Hidden Cherries Thong Gaff takes our pick for the best thong gaff as it checks all the boxes for comfort, discretion, and security. Like all of Banana Prosthetics products, their Hidden Cherries range is handmade in Quebec and designed specifically for trans and non-binary individuals. Premiering as their first gaff, the Thong gaff is soft and breathable while still remaining secure so you'll feel confident and comfortable no matter what you’re up to. Available in classic black, it’s a must-have for anyone looking for a smooth, reliable tucking solution for everyday wear in a G style tuck.

Compression: 4 / 5
Comfort: 3 / 5
Price: 2 / 5

"Just as secure (if not more secure) as the brief version but in a thong style. While I prefer the comfort of the brief, this is a solid choice for someone wanting a robust tucking solution."

Nala - Everybody Tuck Brief & Tuck Gee

We chose the Everybody Tuck Brief and Tuck Gee by Nala as the most affordable tucking underwear because they offer both style and comfort at just $25. Designed for trans sisters and gender-diverse folx, the Everybody Tuck Brief features a low rise, mild compression, and a cheeky mesh back to show off your curves - all while feeling super comfy with no-dig edges. The Tuck Gee takes it up a notch with a G-string back and a little extra front support for a sleek, flat look under clothes. Both styles offer just the right amount of compression without sacrificing comfort, making them perfect for everyday wear. At this price point, you can stock up on multiple everyday tucking underwear without breaking the bank!
Plus there's also a matching Scoop Crop!

Unclockable Tuck Kit 2

The Unclockable Tuck Kit 2 is our top pick for the best tucking tape, and for good reason! This all-in-one kit offers a portable and disposable alternative to gaffs, keeping you comfortably tucked for up to 12 hours - even during intense activities like swimming, working out, or simply running errands. The breathable, stretchable fabric and 40% larger cotton pad (than the Tuck Kit Gen 1) ensure a smooth, no-bulge look under anything from bikinis to tight skirts, all while being gentle on your skin. Removing the tape is easy and pain-free which makes bathroom breaks a breeze, and its FDA-registered design guarantees safety and comfort. Whether you're at the beach, gym, or just living your life, the Tuck Kit 2 keeps you confidently tucked without the need for a gaff. The kit comes in a 7 pack for regular users and a 2 pack for those who are curious about trying it out for the first time plus it comes in three colours to more closely match your skin tone.

Compression: 5 / 5
Comfort: 3 / 5
Price: 2 / 5

“The Tuck Kit does take a bit of practice for it to work well but for those who are already tucking with tape already this is definitely a great alternative!“
