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

Link to comment

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.

      Yes, you would still be considered transgender if you are asexual.  Sexuality and gender preference are separate issues entirely, so one can be trans - desiring to be or dress as someone of the opposite gender (including cross-dressers), and also be Gay, Lesbian, bi-sexual, asexual or pan sexual.   I am also very sorry that you had to endure such mistreatment as a child.  That must have been a horrifying and traumatic time.  I hope that have been or are now seeing a therapist to help with those experiences.   Carolyn Marie

      Looking for a bit of advice or encouragement really. I'm 5 weeks on T and excited about any new body hair. I'm not getting much, but I've noticed more around my pubic area and bumhole lol, sorry if tmi. I've also a got a few more thigh hairs and lower leg hair is growing longer.   I know it's very early days so I wasn't expecting facial hair at all for a few years, but I definitely seem to have more longer blonde peach fuzz hairs. Pre T I had some anyway and I used to use hair removal cream and pluck, because I did get some darker hairs I didn't like. So I don't know if this is my natural hair because I haven't been plucking so much and using hair removal cream. I really want to have facial hair, but also I am worried that I look like a cis woman with some facial hair. I certainly am far from passing at the mo. Basically I'd love to embrace the hair and not shave. I'm already excited by more moustache hair that's growing through, however the hair is only on the sides frustratingly, rather than the middle also. I think shaving could be a euphoric experience, but could make me look more fem. I'm not sure if I should leave peach fuzz or shave. Do teen boys shave or leave their chin hair? I'm 34 and don't want to look like a teen. Want did anyone else decide to do?

      If discussion of past child sexual assault triggers you turn back   In a Previous post I have stated I am an Asexual 45yo M who turned Asexual due to childhood trauma. I feel i need to get this off my chest. Sorry if this triggers anyone.   Okay backstory: at a young age around 13-14, I was interested in dressing up as a girl. I was a skinny effeminate boy with silky black hair and clear complexion. I was lucky in that I had an understanding female school friend(Jane) who liked helping me to dress up at her place, hell even her mother helped after she caught us 3 months in. boy was that embarrassing! anyway fast forward about a year later just before the school holidays and my father comes home Early from work Drunk. This is after I returned from visiting my friend after school, I had taken a shower upon returning but had made the mistake of leaving some of the clothes given to me by Jane's mum out(was going to hand wash and dry them in the back of my closet before father came home.)   Queue ugly scene Gay shaming, physical violence, forcing me to dress back up, using me as a "-awesome person- son should enjoy it if he is dressing up". two days later during holidays, after being grounded and unable to see Jane, Father ships me off to some friends of his --------{i hope i do not have to explain what happened to me during this time}) on the Coast with money being exchanged I think. after that holiday season I forced myself to wear the ugliest boy clothes i could and eat unhealthy in an attempt to gain weight to make myself look unattractive which seemed to trigger puberty as I shoot up and out putting on an athletes build over the next 6 months. with the help of Jane and her mother I was able to get Father arrested and sentenced for 15 years about 2 months after the holidays ended with me ending up in foster care for disturbed children.   After that holidays the very thought of being with someone since has been.... sickening. The idea of very idea of having sex makes me Shudder  still the idea of dressing back up has been too painful 30 years later. It was only after a doctor recently recommended I wear sports tights or stocking to bed (to try and alleviate night terrors which had sprung up recently brought about by personal skin to skin contact as I slept) that the idea of dressing up again crept in. I enjoy dressing up in pantyhose and underthings in the safety of my bedroom on occasion but the idea of being with someone still....   I guess I want to ask is: can you be classed as trans for liking to dress up in lingerie occasionally but also Asexual for not wanting sex?

      I think it is true that MAGA-ism has been exported to the U.K. and other places in Europe and even Canada.  It is a very sad phenomenon.  Hopefully, it is also a transitory one.   Too much of the world seems to think we are a scourge that requires either control or elimination.  It is depressing.     Carolyn Marie

      background: I am a 45yo Asexual 6foot 4 Male who most days has as much sexual identity as a dead Rock most days. But every now and then I want to feel pretty by wearing pretty underwear and pantyhose. but as a Larger person (3-4xl Aus boxer) I am finding it hard to find underthings that are not overly frilly (sissy) or have false camel toes online. I am unable to go out shopping in public without being drugged due to a spinal injury.   I am not trying to be something i know i am not. I know I am a rock due to childhood trauma that caused me to have issues with being with others and even skin contact with myself at night can give me violent attacks which was what actually got me into pantyhose (by doctor recommendation). Sports leggings during winter and pantyhose during warmer months to block leg skin on skin contact and long sleeve mircrofibre shirts to stop torso skin contact. i brought some mesh shirts on etsy (custom made on sale) which has gotten me into wearing nice clothes occasionally.  my question is: I am looking for some HI CUT HIPSTER BIKINI style panties for crossdressers for someone with 49inch/125cm hip that will not break the bank. I have gotten some pretty shirts and leggings on etsy but am finding it hard to get underthings that are not OVERLY sexualized just some thing that makes me feel pretty every now and then

      I think your average person doesn't actually hate us.  In my experience here in NC most folks are at least polite, even if they don't understand.  The problem seems to be the politicians and the people they manage to stir up.

      Well everyone, it is TGIF. Looking at a good weekend, have the annual Wyotech car show tomorrow, and the On the hook fish truck is in town also. So, good fish and chips for dinner tomorrow too. The wife has an AA thing going on this weekend in Cheyenne. So she is going to be there all weekend.   She's happy, she has her car back. It was in our garage getting some needed paint work. The clear coat was gone. I am starting to respray it. Our Jetta Sportwagen is down. It is needing a fan control unit. Just waiting on its delivery.   Job search is going OK. Putting in for an entry level (I think) HR position. It seems that this company is totally accepting as even the application asks if you have an alternative name you want to use. Just trying to get my cover letter changed to a format they use.   TTFN everyone. and hugs to all.   Kymmie
