How do you pack?

Guest Andrew Parker

I just started packing (well I tried before but not only on special occasions) and I wanted to get some input from other guys. I'm just trying to find the most comfortable way for me.

I use a x-small mr limpy right now but I am interested in buying a sailor soft pack.

If you pack and you feel comfortable answering these questions, answers would be much appreciated.

What packer do you use?

What do you use to hold it on (harness, sock, loose in your underwear ,etc)?

Can I wear it loose in tight boxer briefs?

Did you eventually get used to it so you arent adjusting it constantly?

I have both a x-small Mr Limpy and a Sailor Soft. I have settled to using the Sailor Soft pretty much all the time because I prefer it.

I wear it loose in Boxer briefs so yes you can do that. It's slightly less secure than using a harness (I made one for myself by copying the design of one I saw for sale online) and so might need the occasional adjustment at times when you're moving about an awful lot ...like I had a bit of trouble the other day when I was wrestling with....um I mean grooming and trimming the hair of my uncooperative labradoodle puppy! but that really is an unusual amount of rather gymnastic movement lol....(Imagine me sitting on the floor with the dog in a headlock pinned between my knees while I try to shave her back ;) )

If you choose to wear it in a harness there are 2 ways I have tried. The simplest one is to take a sock and put your packer in it, then cut a SMALL (do it smaller than you think you need coz it will stretch) hole for the shaft of the penis to poke out through so it's just the testicles still inside the sock. Then just safety pin the top of the sock to the waist band of your boxers.

The other kind of harness I made was by sewing 2 pieces of elastic together and I'll try to find a picture of the instructions I followed and paste it in for you.

I have pretty much got use to wearing my packer. I do occasionally still adjust it...but then I've seen natal guys do the same with their bits too so if anyone caught me at it I don't think they'd immediately think 'there's a transdude trying to position his packer' I think they'd just think 'why do guys always have their hands down their pants!'

Ok I can't link to the instructions for the harness I made coz the pictures are a bit of the edge of the T&C but I'll copy the instructions for you in case you're interested.

BTW, I don't know where to get the 'Lastin' stuff from so I just used normal elastic...so it's not seethrough like the 'lastin' stuff but I wouldn't chance it in a locker room without boxers and chance that no one would notice I'm wearing a packer rather than having an authentically attached appendage anyway!

Intro & Material:

This harness consists of two parts: a belt and a loop. The belt holds the pack to your body,

the loop holds the pack in place.

The belt is made of 1/2” Lastin (also called ‘clear elastic’. Available at most fabric and/or

upholstery stores). This width gives firm, comfortable security.

The loop is made of 1/4” Lastin. This width provides more stretch and is innocuous enough

to be worn all day.

Steps:

I Making a Belt

1. Use 1/2” Lastin. You want it below your hips, across the top of your thighs

(front), top of your pubic hair and top of your bum crack. This material is slick so use two

knots: a square knot that slips, a balloon knot that cinches it. It should be snug enough to

stretch comfortably when moving. Remember, blood vessels are our friends.

II Making a Loop

1. Use 1/4” Lastin. Tie one end to the belt at your right hip with a couple of square

knots.

2. Hold the other end at your left hip. The loop will look like an un-tucked shirttail

hanging down behind you, about halfway between butt and mid-thigh. Test the length of the

loop by placing the pack (III, steps 1&2), adjust accordingly, then tie a knot at your left hip

with a couple of square knots.

3. The loop knots will slide back and forth along the belt. This is an asset.

III Placing the Pack

1. Hang your pack on the belt: testicles behind the belt, shaft hanging over the belt’s

knot. Position the pack and belt: not so far down it’s between your legs, and not so high it’s

above your pubic hairline.

2. Reach between your legs, grasp the loop and pull the loop between your legs

from back (shirttail position) to front. Place the loop over the top of the pack, behind the

shaft, above the belt. Release. The loop should run from your right hip, under your butt

cheek, between thigh and groin, up behind the pack (and over the belt), back between thigh

and groin, under the left butt cheek and to the left hip.

That’s it! Your pack is secure. Try bending, sitting, jumping, biking, swimming. Move the

hip knots forward or backward to gauge tautness and comfort of the loop. Practice pulling

or pushing your pack out of the way to use a Stand To Pee device (no adjustment needed for

sitting). The harness will be sitting in the natural creases of your legs, front and back. The

only conspicuous place the harness is visible is from hip to hip in back—subtle enough for

locker room changing.

Hope it helps

I'm considering getting me a Mr Limpy, but I kinda see myself forgetting I'm wearing it and pulling down my undies in a hurry in the loo and there it goes, bouncing into the next stall.

"S'cuse me, could you kick my peener back over here..?"

I made my Mr Limpy into an STP-STPs are all I have now and I find they work fine with those bikini jockey briefs you can get from Walmart. Never had a problem with them or having to adjust. I hate stuff like harnesses and can't imagine ever wearing one.

There is also a pouch type underwear on ebay that I have. About a fourth the cost of the special made ones for FTM but very, very similar. It's actually my favorite.

What packer do you use?

Ok so this is a little embarrassing but I pack with a sock. I didn’t really want to pressure my parents into buying me a packer so I came up with my own solution!

What do you use to hold it on?

I just wear a tight pare of underwear.

Can I wear it loose in tight boxer briefs?

To tell you the truth, I’m not sure. I don’t own any boxer briefs so I can’t really answer that one for you. Sorry.

Did you eventually get used to it so you aren’t adjusting it constantly?

After about a week, I got use to it. Now, I barely need to adjust it.

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
