Anyone order a packer from them? I'm looking to buy a new one. I went from completely hating stp fitz, to wanting one from urimate, and deciding on getting one from dj dicks but I found the transitional male site for packers and have now gone to undecided because I really really like theirs. They custom make them for you and I just wanted to see if anyone had anything to say about them.

Well, I just put in a request for an STP from them (the one with out the packer). I'll let you know what kind of customer service I get, etc. If I'm impressed I'll probably order a packer later.

i think all these devices are very uncomfortable and difficult to use - you know a lot of bio guys sit or squat to pee because they dont like to use urinals, they have a bladder problem, they have a gold ring in their foreskin which makes then spray pee everywhere - when i lst began all this, i thought it would be the ultimate to stand and pee but really it isnt, but good luck with your trials.......ive not found one which you can feel comfortable wearing and quite honestly, after a while, it ceases to be important - well at least to me............. ;)

Sorry I can't help. I found making my own works best for me. I have to use one every day hiking and can't afford to have failures or discomfort out there several hours from home. I also have to use an STP because squatting in the woods with hidden tree stands and game cameras around is just not an option for me. Not to mention the more male my appearance the safer I( am roaming the woods alone.

Please let us know how whatever you decide on works.

Yeah I put in a request too, and have yet to hear a response. I guess we shall see!

I can't go without one lol. I just feel "empty". I like the feeling of something being there, it makes me feel whole. I guess everyone is different.

Nick runs a very good web site at the Transitional Male. And, he's been out in our community for years, way before a lot of these other guys that are running around spouting stuff. And, if you need your new underwear fixed to pack, he can do it for you. I bought some stuff from him quite a few uears ago and he was very accomodating.

................i dont mean i dont pack - i also would feel something was missing, ive got so used to it - i pack all the time, except when im alone i bed or in the shower, but dont use a STP, simply because they are uncomfortable and unless you need to "go" when youre outside, then not really necessary, though i understand that some f2m's see standing up to pee as a part of their passage (pun intended) - well you gotta laugh too - i was living in a tent on the beach in Andalucia, southern Spain, just for a while, just before having my chest op - well the missus and i had been having a good old time drinking the local vino and i was so sozzled, i forgot i had breasts and was walking to the showers with a towel around my waitst - i think in the back of my mind, i must have been simply ignoring my physical state, a bit of wishful thinking, lol! - but also, later, (several bottles later) - i also thought I'd pee up against a tree - again, so sozzled, i also forgot i didnt have a penis, so it went all down my leg - i prefer to look at the lighter side of my "difficulties" - and still laugh about it today............having said that, when i was a kid, i used to stand on the toilet rim and stand to pee - that way worked - but being older, i would probably lose my balance and fall in the hole - but at home, when i have no clothes on i can, if i hold myself in a certain way - apply pressure with my stomach muscles, make water come out in a kinda fountain - till it gets to the last drop, when theres no force, then its a bit tricky, so i ony do that now and then.

Unfortunately I don't have a great bladder-a result of childbirth problems - but have had to learn a few things other guys learn about standing to pee as toddlers. Like making sure which way the wind is blowing, the slant you are standing on, and exactly where that shirt tail is in relation to your equipment and not losing focus as it were ( I can be a day dreamer and mentally wander off at times when an interesting idea strikes). Has made me cringe and laugh more than once

Kinda nice to find a place I can mention it. That is one subject my family does not want to hear anything about.

I must have not read your last post right lol. But your story is hilarious. I always forget I was born female, until I take off my clothes, and when I remember, its always disappointing :(

I would have never thought about the wind myself, which is probably something that should easily be known lol. The problem I have is, is the way I am standing. I tend to push my hips forward in order for things to work better, and I still have problems controlling flow because I leak at least 70% of the time.

Leaking was a problem for me till I found the right kind of end that works best for me. Nothing but the medicine spoon works and now that I have found a way to make a soft end just like it, so those eye watering pinches are a thing of the past, it's all good. Leaks, when you are away from home shopping all day or a couple of hours hike from home with weather in the teens, just isn't something I can live with. The cheapest way to find what works best is to get a Playtex baby nipple, a medicine spoon and one of the cheaper whiz things on ebay along with some latex tubing from ebay and work with them till you find what works. ( I made a couple of threads about making STPs with more specific info. They are in the FTM forum). I'm really financially challenged right now-far worse than any time in my life-and just couldn't afford to buy different STPs till I found the right one.

I do remember when I was first trying to use an STP and using the wrong kind for me and had leaks. It would seem to work sometimes and then suddenly fail or leak. I felt like throwing myself down and having the full blown temper tantrum of the small boy that the failures made me feel like. Wanted to give up too because it made me feel worse and not better about my situation but that wasn't an option with the hiking and I finally got it worked out. I wonder if we all don't go through a time like that but find it hard to bring up or talk about?

He got back to me quickly.

I've tried the medicine spoon and it doesn't quite work, so I ordered his larger option, and the silicone tubing (I have latex allergy), with the removable catcher option so I can change it out if needs be later myself.

I'm not ready to pack, but want to have the hang of the STP by the time I go camping next month. I hate porta potties.

i have yet to try the medicine spoon. I've tried the nipple style which didn't work at all for me and am now using he whiz which tends to leak here and there. I'm wondering now if the medicine spoon will be a better option for me.

i had a hystorectomy ih l996 because, after 2 episiotomies , my insides were practically falling out - they made such a mess of me with 2 difficult births, but after the hysto and repairs, i was lucky it didnt affect my bladder - I have come to the conclusion that stp's are just too much "bother" - as ive said before, lots of bio guys sit or squat to pee, male toilets here are usually a nasty experience anyway, they stink and in a pub or club on a busy night, you find you are ankle deep in other guys urine - i have been known to urine in a bottle to avoid them, but when i misjudged just how much i needed to pass, it has overflown, lol..............sometimes, seeing the funny side of these things helps

Another tale i would like to relate was, when i was a dragking, in the late 1990's and early 2000's, one of my characters i invented was Little Billy London, he was a 12 yr old orphan from the east end of London and lived in the "workhouse" - where people went in Victorian times if they were homeless and starving, My song and dance routine included some very risque jokes and songs - including "the little boy that Santa Clause forgot" only instead of the treacly words my mum used to sing to me, because Little Billy London was also a transboy and the gig ended with this song - the words went like this: I wasnt on T then and had a very high soprano voice.......so could make my voice very boyish (wrinkles were a bit of a probem - lol)

Im the Little Boy that Santa Claus forgot

And Goodness know, I didnt want a lot

I sent a note to Santa for a penis and some testicles

It broke my little heart to find

He'd finished all his calls

In the street I envy all those lucky boys

All urinating up the wall with so much joy

Dont feel sorry for this Transgender - (then I pulled the apple from my pants, bit into it and threw it into the audience)

Ive ony got a Fanny...................

Im the Little Boy that Santa Claus forgot................

i never use 4 letter words Mary Ellen, not even at home, I dont use bad language at all - it wasnt one of those it was "pis---g" which is used on all trans and butch/femme sites - i.e. Pis---g packer etc and isnt, so far as i know, a swear word.......?? but i shallnt use it again as perhaps its a naughty word in the U.S. which i wasnt aware of and i certainly wouldnt want to offend anyone - anywhere!

The most altogether brain free method (might even work if you were drunk-- not that I recommend it) would be the pstyle. No way is it really great for discretely carrying in your pocket. OTOH, if you got the clear one, no way would anyone have any idea what it is. Get off amazon as it is quite a lot cheaper. It would be there for you when hiking and you won't be missing. It would fit easily in a day pack.

Also the fenis/mr. fenis is good. I think like all those other silicone jobies it depends on how you hold it.

Practice an stp in the shower as ymmv.

I've been practicing in the shower or in my own loo. I tend to miss the spot with the medicine spoon, usually when I think I've got the hang of it and gone to practicing in clothes.

Aaden, Did you send a follow up text confirming your order as requested? He answered my text pretty quickly.

No, I didn't. That was probably my problem lol. I can't get back to the number. I'm just gonna redo the request, and let him know what I did, so that it doesn't seem like I'm just submitting a lot of requests.

I sent him the text message and he responded with "congrats on your surgery. I have a new phone please give me your last name so I can add you to my contacts. "

Thats just weird. I didn't even say I had surgery?

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.

      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer

      Patches are the HRT method of least risk. Be aware of your estrogen levels with bloodwork. My doctor took me off patches because my estrogen levels were low. And put me on estradiol valerate injections. I have to say that made a big difference. Be aware of the changes. I don't know your age, or circumstances, but I would research available options of administering hormones.    There are other methods of taking estrogen, and you should research all of them. When my doctor changed my prescription to estradiol valerate amazing things happened. He was slow to prescribe the needles so I ordered them online. I have used injectables before. Getting the nerve to poke myself with the needle was a great hurdle to overcome.   As far as a rollercoaster feeling, I never felt that as much as the excitement of finally starting HRT. That overrode everything. I couldn't focus on how my emotions changed, for excitement trumped all emotions. Let the emotions of starting HRT settle, then make the decisions you feel will best benefit you.    Good luck with your journey,   Jennifer
