Edit: Also, lots of women have found ways to tuck and wear a bikini. I haven't tried, but it's possible.

oooo these look nice :0
But sucks that theyre on Amazon as i dont even have an Account on there >.<
Will see if i can find similiar ones on Other Sites or maybe even in my Local Clothes SHops >.<
I never tried tucking because it feels very Scary and hurts for a long time >.<
The key to get high waisted ones imo, wherever you find them.
These ones are meant for postpartum women, so they are meant to be a little more stretchy and accommodating in that area, which happens to also make them appropriate for our needs.
tucking gets easier once you get some shrinkage from hrt, I still can't though it makes me nauseous :(
I have Phimosis tho so i alrwady am scared of taking HRT due to it meaning i cant move my Foreskin at all :c
I've not worn a bikini due to self cons ious about my stomach, but I have worn leggings which are very hugging.
I use a pair of underwear called a gaff (I haven't clicked on the other comment link to check but I'm guessing it's a pair) and it pulls everything up nicely. It's not "unclockable" if someone wants to get up close and inspect, but hopefully anyone that close already knows you well and doesn't care.
I also use KT tape (DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE) for squishing everything up. No bathroom breaks like that, but I carry a couple small pieces in my purse and tape in a way that I can go, then put on a small piece. Note: I am a grower not a shower, so normally everything can fold up nice and neat, if a little pronounced. If it's cold out, one pair of underwear is usually enough. Otherwise it's 2 pairs of normal underwear. I'm chubby so it's not out of place on me to have a slight bulge in the pelvic area as a woman.
I won't speculate on sizing, but if tucking underwear is uncomfortable, KT tape can be used to "pull it back" between your legs.
There are garments that holds everything properly if it's of proper shape and size for you, and there's underwear and bikinis designed specifically for trans people / femboys / drag queens etc.
Some might need tucking, some will hold stuff even without. Latex underwear that is a size smaller can help hold things in place, and you can wear it underneath other underwear or garments.
I personally use boyshorts but I have panties as well, and I have a swimming dress that I really like. They're all really designed for cis people but they fit me just fine. My cheaper medium sized boyshorts however do usually lose their shape after I wear it for a bit and it stops holding things well. My shapewear that compresses my waist and is like a pantie in the crotch fits really well.
Didn't Adidas once design a tucking swimsuit?
Dunno. Perchance
I just found this site today and they seem very cute and designed for dangly bits https://enfemmestyle.com/collections/lingerie
I've had good success with Rubyshines bikinis. They're kinda overpriced though.
