Do you have to be 18 to buy a packer?

[Alex Skelton]

im having a lot of bottom dysphoria and ive been looking through a lot of websites looking at packers. Im pretty sure i want to get this packer called the Pierre. If i was cis i  would want to be uncut. i was just wondering do you have to be 18 to buy a packer? And if i get one any advice on hiding it from my parents?

I have no idea if there would be an age restriction on this product, but can't imagine why there would.  Since you've come out to your parents, I would broach the subject with them.  This is just a logical step to making you feel better.  It's certainly not good to hide.  All secrets get revealed, better to choose the time rather than have it thrust upon you.

If for any reason you're unable to buy one, you can make them yourself easily using a couple condoms and aloe vera jelly! They're not pretty but they look far more realistic through undies than any I've bought in the store. I have one I made that I attach to my underwear using two small magnets and it works PERFECTLY. I bought three different packers/STPs and they all feel too bulky for me. That said, I've heard great reviews of Pierre so if you get it hopefully it works great for you!

Never have been asked my age that I remember to buy a packer. There are however a couple of things to consider.

If you are going to want to stand to pee then you may want to go that way from the get go.

You can get packers fairly cheaply from eBay and several other places but with packers cheapest is more expensive in the long run. The Mr Limpy and Sailors and the like are baby doll pink  with no realistic detail. They are sticky and have to be dusted with cornstarch regularly and eventually look nasty no matter what you do. They last a few months usually. They are good for finding out if packing is for you.

Silicone is more expensive, far more realistic and lasts forever with care. I do use an STP and found the Che from T-Men's Junk Shop to be the best for me. With the old funnel- I think they may have gone back to it anyway. They also carry packers as well as STPs cheaper than anywhere else I've found for the quality.  I needed a realistic STP for safety in a very conservative area and in the woods where I can be in a trai cam ir seen from a deer stand I am unaware of being there. But when I switched to the very realistic Che I found that I felt complete and whole in a way I had not realized I didn't before. Ive been using one daily for over 2 years that is still great.

As a last note, whether you go packer or STP don't go overboard. It's something many young trans men do that either outs them or gets them ridiculed. The average male length flaccid is 4.5 inches and we are generally smaller in stature than the average male so that would be the longest that would look natural in a packer or STP for most of us.

Hope you find what works best for you.
