Packing?

[Guest Draik]

I've looked it up on the internet and I think I've gotten the general Idea but I'm not sure. My question is What is the point of packing?

[Guest Snow Angel]

The same reason I stuff my bra! To look more like your target gender. Or I guess it's also to get used to the feeling of something external down there, like when you start using a portable STP?

Many FTMs feel that it helps them be more confident in their presentation and therefore they pass better and feel better mentally.

Some FTMs like to use an STP packer so they can use the urinal.

Some just feel like there should be something there and even if its apacker they feel more 'noraml' with it

Some FTMs feel foolish.

There are many reasons why, but it's basically a personal decision that depends on personal tastes and feelings.

All I can say is my whole life I've known that I've been missing an important piece of my identity. When I first started transitioning, another guy told me about the soft packys. I never knew they existed before!!! I had been sitting at home with a hard huge dildo but had to hide in my room.

When it came in the mail, I've been wearing it 24/7 ever since. It's like I'm 'complete' in that I know it's there, it feels real when I touch it, etc. No, it doesn't work like the real thing, but it's become a part of me totally.

I agree with the above reasons - also, packing can help 'fill out' your jeans for a more male presentation. It's not neccessary, but for some guys in certain clothes it's useful to create a realistic bulge and feel of the male anatomy. Here's a good website with a guide on packing - why you would do it, suggestions on what to use to create a realistic bulge, and where to find packers, etc. Please note that while this is an informative site, it is a how-to guide on packing, and some external links on the site (namely, links leading to where to buy packers) may lead to websites which contain realistic images of packers/dildos.

Soft packers generally create the bulge of a flaccid phallus. This is generally the look you aim for when using packers for the everyday.

I have to pack, and just don't feel right if I'm not. When I discovered packing it really helped me to feel more comfortable and confident with who I am. For me it's not even about passing, I could do that anyway. I pack with an STP during the day, and use the urinal, and then I just use a straight forward packer at night when I'm asleep. It's something I do for me, it just helps me to feel right. I don't think it makes anybody more or less of a man though. It's a completely personal thing for all transguys.
