Binding And Packing Uk Style


Guest Wolfy19

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone could give me any websites or stores to visit in the UK that sell stuff for binding and packing or any help on this because after spending quite sometime browsing the internet the only credible site I could find was the american site Underworks.com/ftm which I have to pay quite a massive shipping fee for the vests which on a student budget isnt ideal.

Anyway- if anyone could help me out id be grateful!!

im in the UK as well and have been looking for binders, have u tried T kingdom its an asian company, which make binders for tomboys etc, i havent used it but have seen a lot of ftms recommending it. I have no idea of its credibility, as i havent used it. so just be careful and background check on it.

hope this helps

I've always had that problem as well. I've never found any products in the UK, particularly STPs and packers. I've always had to buy from the US and other places. So I'd also be interested if anyone had any ideas of places in the UK.

I agree that T kingdom is very much your best bet for binders.

Packing is a hard one; Mango is the most well known site and it is US based. However, my friend swears by:

LoveHoney.co.uk

These packers are sex toys intended for aestetic use (to look good) but apparently they feel ok and are a decent price. I would NOT advise picking a large, it could look and feel ridiculous, like you have a stiffy or something. They're made of this rubber that feels natrual, flops and to some extent retain body heat, but some guys reckon it looks comical and doesn't really work for day to day stuffing.

Personally I don't like how they look but at least they aren't that ridiculous shade of pink that the Mangos start out as... Oh and that's another thing, they come in limited colours so if you don't have sort or peachy skin they may not be for you. Depending on what you are going for, that might not work for you, i.e if you're looking for realism (say if someone caught a glimpse from afar while you were at a urinal) then again they don't come with a harness so if you have loose pants you'd have to keep the packer in your pocket which is not always ideal . Another thing I would mention is that it doesn't work as an STP and looks hard to modify into one.

If all your going for is feel then there are cheaper options, like make your own:

DJ's Soft pack

If you get kicked in the nuts a lot, don't do this cause you'll get hair gel all over your trousers. ;)

haha thanks for the tip!

i did actually buy a strap on from lovehoney. theyr pretty good but obviosuly cant wear them in public so it that kinda sucks. its a shame bout them only doing one colour though. i dont know anyone whos skin is that pink lol

a good thing for u to be able to pee at a urinal is using the packers, burning a hole through it then putting a "shewee" in it. saw this tip on youtube. i just ordered a binder from t kingdom so ill let u guys know how good it is when it gets here!

Oh you got a strap? how come you can't wear it in public? People shouldn't notice it it's under clothes. Personally I do the cheap classic of using socks to stuff as long as I don't have any vigorous exersize to do. It would be good to get a proper packer that straps in and holds on in the future though.

well the harness for the strap on is useless and flimsy and i couldnt wear it all day, plus its quite big and i occasionally wear skinny jeans - so it wud be noticed ! lol

i want to buy a packer but i need to save some money first cos i want one that u can actually pee through but according to reviews most are useless lol

I have a binder from T-kingdom. the company itself is fine, i recieved both binders i order no problem..they take a while to send through though but all stuff from that area of the world does XD

the onyl thing about them is when i returned my binder for a larger size..it vanished off the face of the earth...and i suspect that happens fairly frequently...so if you get it and its the wrong size hang on to it~! you wont have lost anything and you may even be able to use it for something else...

Product wise, they work quite well at binding it depends on your chest size...i have stupidly huge breasts so pretty much nothing i do with them works..

but my friend who is sorta smalish b cup wears one and its fantastic, it doesnt show under clothes and she only ever got called on it once because a mate hugged and asked what it was XD

I know you've already ordered one but for future reference if you need it Xd i'd advise getting a zip up one...i was dubious about the zip giving but i have a zip up compression/sports bra thing and it works SO much better than the velcro on the binder...just make sure your sure about the size..obivously its not adjustable XD

Link to comment

thanks for the heads up! i followed their measurements and instructions- im just hoping it binds enough rather than just being like another vest top- otherwise i spent £30 on a vest top i coulda bought for £2!! lol

last time i wore a bra.. i was a C cup, borderline D, they look big inproportion to my body cos im kinda skinny although bin trying to beef up a bit and put on a bit more weight.

I did consider the zip one cos when iv worn zip up life jackets for kayaking they seriously compress but also they have massive clips to strap u down which u can tighten- so i kinda thought the velcro wud be kinda like the straps lol

i wish there was an actual store on the high street or in the gay village i cud go to to try this stuf on cos its impossible to decide about sizes and stuff.

serious budget stuff

Love honey site for cheap packys they are cheap and some can be over sized so pick carefully.

Also you can buy a cheap packy there and carefully poke a hole through it and buy a shewee also a brit site that will give you a bulky STP for less then 20 quid.

Vests you can either look on sport direct site for small compression vests there about 15 quid they dont do a great job but they can help if you want a binder and can wait there is a big bro binder exchange in the usa for a free one, I personally have a size large double fronted vest in white from underworks which I dont need any more but it did flaten my D chest.

As for the colours yea they are not the best but once your wear it in and you need to dust them with talc also to keep them from becoming sticky its not -that- bad.

If you want a harness for a packy honestly dont even bother to buy one get a rubber dik ring cost about 3 quid and some extra large, soft trainer shoe laces and bingo 2 knots and you have a harnes for maybe 5 quid.

LOL if you need any more details of how to make find this stuff PM me

yeah i didn't bother following the measuring instructions first time round ^^; *learnt my lesson nowXD*

they're pretty much the same as ones from underworks from what i can tell, the main binder bit is made out of kinda stretchy super strong elastic (it takes a bit of muscle to get it to stretch when just holding it...)

what you can do if you find it uncomfortable (with larger breasts i sometimes find they compress down and the skin sorts sticks to each other....) or if it doesn't compress as well, is get a minimiser bra (which you can get from pretty much anywhere for about £15), which sorta spreads em apart and tries to tuck them under your armpits XD

the website does say they're for up to a D cup and most people i've seen with that size say the binder works fine...

the biggest problem with the velcro is it does up under your arm...which isnt so easy to reach XD gotta be pretty flexible to get it tight enough...

Link to comment

thats a very good point bout the velcro- never though of flexibility.. well when i get enough money to get another i will get a zip one and hopefully ill know my correct size by then! lol

Thank you B.heard for your tips on packers! theres so many different things u can do instead of packers as well as the range of packers themselves that its always hard to decide which is the right way to go for yourself. :blink:

I'll second this. I made the mistake of ordering the large size, and I was quite suprised by just how large, large was! Other than the size, it seems to have a good feel though, so I would order again, but probably go for the medium or small next time. Good price too!

I've lost my pee-er, now I just want a cheap medicine spoon which I could later incorperate into a packer. Where would I get one? It doesn't turn up in the search on the online Boots store.

Same with me. And I can't afford to buy a binder...well, I can but my mum watches my internet banking like a hawk so everytime I draw money out she goes crazy on me and demands to know what I bought. At the moment I use a tacky homemade one which doesn't really do anything at all...frustrating as heck.

you could go to the pharmacist and ask for a medical spoon that measures. they use em for babies i think, so u can measure the medicine then feed it directly cos otherwise its impossible! i think that might be the closest u can get. it will probably be free too. let me know if that works.

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.

      Well, it is officially summer.  85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable.  I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling.  This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I just can't resist.  Does all that mean that.............the bird is the word? 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, that might be interesting.  At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses.

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.
