thank you for replying ever so quickly. I was quite excited about the product and i agree the website definitely sells it very well.

I've also e-mailed them 4... 5.. times about receiving a tracking number.. but they never replied back, so sad:( i ordered august 4th.. should i just wait 15 days? my goodness.

btw if youre having problems wearing it how do you do it then? if you dont mind that i ask.

also would you say you were wearing this product on daily basis? quite terrible to hear about all the tear.

I'm sorry you haven't exactly had a good experience with them. What made you choose this over the Tyron2? I am still leaning towards getting a Lola Jake because then I can have an STP, and P&P all in one... I've heard mixed things about the Lola Jake though so I just really gotta look into the different options before I make a decision, don't wanna spend hundreds of dollars on something that doesn't do what it's supposed to do... but if not Lola Jake, I will get the Tyron2 and use an STP separately. Unless of course Version 3.0 has the STP option.

I chose it over the Tyron2 just because for one, Tyron isn't planning on the phase 3 being out until October of 2011, and he's not taking orders now. Plus I'll have to actually save up a lot longer to invest in the Tyron, while the Like Real was a cheaper sort of "hold us over until Tyron Phase 3 is out" option. Just sort of an in-between option, because we had a little bit of money saved up...just not nearly enough to put towards the Tyron. Basically we were inpatient, is the long and the short of it. XD

Quinn, thanks for taking the time to give us a detailed account of your experiences. The LikeReal prosthetics look so good on the website that it's hard to imagine that they are so poorly made. Wow. Sorry you spent so much on something that isn't up to snuff. It sounds like they wouldn't be much better without the STP option either.

If it's cool with you, I'd like to link to this post in the pinned topic about packers. I wouldn't want all of this useful information to get buried! Thanks again for sharing.

Oh sure, go ahead and link it if you want. Bit easier to find all the information there. I think I may have linked to it in my review that I did there, but you might be able to make it a bit more visible, heh. But yeah, I mean...the product does look amazing for a while. It really does. It's just now that I'm bummed out cause I've used all the materials and advice given to me, but it's still fading and whatnot. :/

Yeah, you might have to wait a while, I dunno. For me it took so long because even though my product was listed as in stock on the USA website, they actually had run out and needed to get it shipped all the way over from Germany. Well, the prosthetic anyways. The adhesive was in stock in the USA, and they were going to send it to me separately. All this they already knew when I emailed them, and didn't think to tell me at all, except for when I finally nagged them. So I could've just gotten the adhesive in the mail, with no prosthetic, and had absolutely no idea what was going on. :/ They take a while to get back when they do, and they list no phone number, so yeah...you're really just stuck waiting.

I wear it using a weeeeird homemade harness, haha. XD I decided that sports bras were pretty good at holding things in place...so I basically flipped a sports bra upside down, cut a hole in the front of it, and just sort of...put it on. And I wear boxers or boxer briefs over it. Kind of sucks because the testicles of the prosthetic have to be covered, but it does hold okay, as opposed to it pretty much always almost falling off when you just rely on the adhesive.

I do wear it on a daily basis though, yeah.

Quinn: do you know what they plan on doing for the making of the tyron 3?

i like the idea of the prosthetic being flaccid and than construct by pumping the testicles?? however i think... if its possibly a good idea... to have the prosthetic become construct upon strokes... that.. would be somewhat close to having a real one.. no??

Anyhoo did you get the chance to email LIKEREAL back? i e-mailed them several times.. i gave up.. im just going to wait for them to send me the package or a tracking number when they feel like it.... I know theres a contact number... however i'd have to call at 11pm eastern time in order to reach them over there... and judging by the voice message they have (language)... i dont think they have someone understanding english...

I don't know anything about the phase 3 personally, no, just that it's due to be around Oct. of 2011. Your idea is an interesting one though...you could try emailing him about it, he seems to be open to any suggestions. Just go to tyron2.net (link NSFW on some pages) and look for contact info.

Haven't emailed likereal though, no. I honestly don't think I'd get anything out of it seeing as they didn't even bother to respond to my email asking about the failing medical adhesive. And yeah they didn't even seem to give me the correct tracking info when they /did/ give it to me. And as for their language skills...xD yeah even when I sent my email to their USA email address, the response was in broken English at best. And the site I had to use the tracking number in at first was all German, had to use an online translator.

Honestly, I'm starting to think they only responded at all because my girlfriend and I were suggesting taking legal action against them (mostly just for dramatic flair) because we hadn't received the product and service we paid for.

Oh man.. when I order packers I know how excited I get for them to arrive.. I can only imagine how frustrating that was for you! I'm glad you finally got it!

I have to ask..

I'm really big into the squeeze factor. I have no idea what a real one feels like, but I'm pretty certain it feels NOTHING like the Lola Jake model I bought. Does the Like Real packer you got squeeze real (as far as you know)? LOL!

      Sup singly, a superintendent prevented a student within the transgender community from changing current name, to the new name in which the student identifies with, I don't know how far back this story goes, but if you Google it under Oklahoma along with "student name change" the article should pop up. I'm not transgender, but I can relate to the process of legally getting a name change done, it's a lot of paperwork from court, a lot of traveling, and expenses depending on the laws from each state.

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Sending good thoughts for you, Raine.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.
