Desperate for packer/stop advice!!


Recommended Posts

I have been researching for months trying to find the right stp/packer. I am aware that everyone has different anatomy so what works for some, may not work for others. There are a few that I'm interested in but I can't decide. Please list anything that are somewhat affordable and that you all may recommend.

Iver time I spent hundreds of dollars on things that just didn't work right or pinched and looked ugly baby doll colored to boot. Finally broke down and got a silicone STP from T-Men'sJunkShop and have now used it daily for 3 years or more.

I use the Che while is the same size as the average American male- and since most of us are built smaller anything larger tends to draw unwanted attention. I use the attached funnel one and have heard the new detached funnel isn't as satisfactory but you can still get the attached on request.

It has a soft funnel and looks highly realistic as well as being comfortable. Because it is different from anything else it can have a learning curve to master . You have to find and get the feel of the sweet spot so to speak where the funnel sits when in use. When you do it sits and feels natural with no uncomfortable or unnatural bulges etc like the FreeTom.  And is so realistic I have used it with no qualms at urinals in crowded men's rooms. In fact it has come to feel like a part of my body and filled a need I did not realize I had. I forgot it one day when I went somewhere and felt naked and emasculated all day.  For me it is a prosthesis and in replacing a body part should be as realistic and functional as possible.

The other plus for the T-Men'sJunkshop is that delivery is very fast- less than 2 weeks and everyone who has dealt with them has been impressed by their customer service. They care . BTW it is a little pricey but less than half of other silicone STPs and packers and silicone is cheaper in the long run because it wears much, much better than anything else and is much more realistic.

I sure hope so! I wasn't sure if this was an appropriate topic for this site but I'm really in need of some help and guidance on this subject.

This really helps! I checked out the che and I've never seen one so realistic! The price isn't to bad, I'm just nervous about the attached funnel. Being a guy and not being able to stand to pee is bad enough not to mention, if I have serious leaking problems. Lol I think I'm going to try the che. I've seen a few of your comments on this subject and you have mentioned it several times. I guess anything new will have a learning curve, just hope that I can master it. In the beginning before you mastered using it, did you find that you had to do some major "adjusting" before and after urinating?

I practiced in the shower which helped - and at first also wore a thin pad for any slip ups.

I believe there are videos for use that are helpful. I didn't watch them but other guys have said they help. . I did start using it hiking in the forest after practicing at home. No one out there but me.

One of the things that helped me is thinking of the funnel as an  extension of the urethra that would be there. The end of the funnel goes just past the urethera and the rest makes a tight seal the rest of the way. It sits between the labia when you use it but it only takes a second to fit in place . I keep one finger over the tip to maintain the seal.  Not uncomfortable because it is soft. As long as you keep that seal it works great. However I have found it helpful to control the stream and not wait too long when I know I need to go.

Thank you very much! I believe I have made my decision! I really liked the freetom products but I'm a small guy so I didn't want something that would look unrealistic while packing. I do appreciate all of your feedback...it has really helped!

You are welcome. I have a FreeTom sitting in a drawer right now. Someone gave it to me and I tried it but hated it. It is really bulky compared to the Che and not as realistic. That's just my opinion and experience. Others like them.

I do have one more question, JJ. I am a small guy and really nervous about the funnel on the che. They have one that is similar on the website that has an interested funnel system but it is an inch bigger. I am about 5' tall and 110 pounds. Would you mind going to the website and taking a look at it and let me know if you think it would be too much? I'm sorry for all of the questions but I haven't had any help on this subject. I was getting ready to make the purchase and noticed the Leo and I just want to make sure before I buy it.

I meant the Leo has an INTERGRADED funnel system.

The Leo is new since I bought the Che and I like the that integrated funnel . Haven't used one like it so I cant eay for sure but it looks like it would be as comfortable and work as well.

Size is a bit bigger than the Che true, but is still within average male norms. I thought the Che was originally described as 4.5 inches rather than 3.75 so mine may be the same size as the Leo. Makes a natural but not obvious bulge. I'm 5'5".

Just measured it and my Che is 4.5 so they are making the Che smaller now and the Leo is the size I have apparently. Should be fine depending on what you are comfortable with.

Ok so just a quick update. I just received the packer/stp from TMen's Junk Shop that I purchased a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to give my thoughts on the over all product and it's function in case other guys may be looking for some direction. I purchased the Leo 4.5 in 2 in 1 Caucasian packer/stp. I have to say, I am blown away with the realism of this product. They nailed it in my opinion! Hands down, this product is better than any of the other ones I have seen and for a cheaper price. Only down fall I had was that it wasn't stp ready as stated on the pamphlet. I had to alter it just a bit in order to test the stp function. It appeared that a piece of silicone blocking the opening at the tip might have gotten missed during production but no big deal. The paint job is incredible and the stp function is super easy and is intergrated which I also love about it. I had never heard of the company until someone on here told me about it and I'm glad they did. THANKS JJ!! If you can't afford hundreds and hundreds of dollars on prosthetics that you have no clue will work...check out TMen's Junk Shop! Hope this helps!

 

Cheers,

KC

Glad you like it so much!

I'm always afraid I sound like an advertisement for them but what you get for the price really is way better than anything else I've ever seen.

If you ever have a problem I've heard they are super easy to deal with and will make it right - I've known of one guy who had a defect in alignment in his and they made it right immediately.

Thanks for letting me know and sharing your experience.

I wasn't sure about contacting them regarding the defect I had with mine. Once I altered it, it worked just fine. The pamphlet said all sales final and no returns of course so I didn't bother with it. I like it so much that I may ever order another one just to have a back up in case something happens to this one. Lol you are doing right for letting other people know about them. I had never heard of them until you mentioned it. I was having trouble deciding which company to purchase from and once I looked them up, my decision was made. I have felt like a completely different person for the past couple of days. It's amazing how something that simple can make such a big difference. Now the next step is to start HRT which my therapist says will be in the very near future!! Thanks again Johnny!

 

Cheers,

KC

      "Let's go," he said.  They were both in denim and boots.  She wanted to go out to the plant and look at one of the buildings, different from all the others, with A659 stenciled on the side.  It was heavily locked but had keys.  Staff had told her there was something strange about it.  He drove his Wrangler.   "I was going to ask you about what the doctor said, but the walls have ears." "I know.  They shamelessly listen to everything and it is all over town.  They can't help it, the dears, we are strangers in town and they are thirsty for novelty." "They call you the Tornado."  She laughed.  He did.  She was a skinny little thing, meek and mild. "They call you the Greek god. Not far off." "Heh." "Doc took me off hormones to run tests and get a clear idea of what is going on.  I am kind of scared I will grow a beard and get a deep voice and you will never want to marry me." "Don't worry about it.  Before hormones you looked like a preadolescent girl. Nothing to worry about." "So if I turn into Sasquatch you would still marry me?" "Yes." "Will you marry me?" "Yes." "We are engaged! Hah! I've been waiting since high school for this." "We are not.  The guy pops the question. And there is a ring involved." She pulled the band out of her hair and stuck it on his right wrist as he drove. "There." "That's not a proper engagement." "Is." "Is not." "Then do better.  Find a ring and a decent spot and do it.  You have until sundown.  Taylor's rules." "I don't know where a jewelry store is." "Let me handle it."  She speed dialed.  "Hey, John? Yeah, this is Taylor from Millivlle.  You remember me?  Great. My FIANCE and I will be by later today to pick up the ring I ordered." She turned to him.  "YOU find a location.  They close at five." You better have a good speech. Remember, I do presentations for a living." They drove for a minute. "Aren't you going to kiss me?" That took a few minutes.   The guard unlocked the gate.  She was surprised to see he knew where to go.  Now they parked the Wrangler near A659.  He got out and sent a text.  She didn't catch the name.  "Don't shoot"?  "Yeah. I think you are going to meet some of the people I work with today. Some of them are rather excitable." "Later, I guess." "Sooner or later." "This is a huge parking lot." "I guess they used to have a lot of workers here." "You know all about it." She looked at the sign next to the entrance door.  "DO NOT ENTER WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORIZATION. TRESPASSERS ARE SERVED NOTICE THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED UNDER THE US MILITARY CODE IF THEY PROCEED PAST THIS POINT."   It was faded.  There was a number to call.  Taylor looked at the wall, windowless for the first twenty feet off the ground, intact glass above it.  There were railroad tracks and a crane on one side and she had seen steel doors there.  "This hasn't been used in decades.  Whatever classification it ever had has surely expired.  And my company owns it." "You go ahead and unlock it." She looked at him.  "You know a lot more about this than you are telling." "I do." "Is this the real reason you are working remote in Millville?" "It's the reason they let me move here.  I found it when I was looking to do exactly that." "What's in there?" "I am sure my friends will tell you." "Are they in there?" Bizarre. "No." "You are enjoying this." "Unlock it. But don't go in." She did, and a klaxon went off.  She looked around. "I don't see anyone." "Just wait." Five minutes later a jet streaked across the sky. "Was that it?" He shook his head. Fifteen minutes after that was the faint thump-thump of helicopters.  Soon three Apache helicopters appeared overhead, circling.  She saw guns and missile tubes.  "Your friends?" "Some of them.  Just wait." Three big Chinook helicopters arrived, circled the building and then set down, together, at the same time,  in a triangle on the parking lot.  The klaxon was still going off. Troops piled out: Army soldiers in combat gear clutching rifles.  Someone bellowed "Secure the perimeter! Move! Move! Move!" And the troops did, some around the choppers, and the rest around A659.

      All these beautiful people in my biography, I feel so blessed!   No fallout from the Facebook avatar thing, yet. I instantly deleted it, but I really do like the avatar I created. I'll have to recreate it when I'm more out to friends and family.   I guess they weren't dancing, one was blowing a birthday horn and mine was "like, omg, so surprised!"

      This is what I'm seeing too. I hate it but it is the current reality.  I expect more trouble in the future since "they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes." Kinda funny how quickly things turned against us.  I don't think we can really count on the Democrats either.

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.
