Title: Best packer?
Post by: Devyn on June 27, 2011, 10:32:13 PM
About 10 minutes ago, I realized that I need a packer due to dysphoria. I don't want an STP. Where can I find the best packers? I'm white, and I see a lot of pink packers around. I'm not pink at all, but I'm going to assume it will be the closest shade I can find.

Any suggestions?

Also, how much do they usually cost?

I wear boxers, but if I buy briefs, will it hold the packer well? I don't really want to wear a strap or harness or anything, but at the same time, I don't want my dick falling down my pant leg in the middle of public - or at home, for that matter. haha

Thanks, guys.

you really need a harnness, it falls out so easily. i got mine from early to bed and i got the vanilla one i am very pale and it worked it is close to my shade, 5.5 inches as well it was about 14 or 16 dollars and the harness was like 20 or something and than shipping as well.

I second the needing a harness. You can make one yourself pretty easily from just about anything -- I use an old ace bandage and one of those thin ponytail holder things. If you don't want to do the harness, you should at least try a cock-sock. It's basically the dick shoved in a sock with a hole cut in it to stick it through, and you can use a safety pin to hook it on your undies. (If you use nothing, you may find yourself suddenly afflicted with leprosy, and probably in public.)

I have the Mister Softie from Tool Shed Toys, although I imagine you can get it anywhere (it's the same thing as Mr. Limpy). It's vanilla, and pretty close to my skintone. I have the 3.5", it's 13 bucks, the 5" is 14. They have a 6.5", too @_@ hahaa.

Rather than a harness you can use a jockstrap. Keeps it in place perfectly and you can wear whatever else you want with it. Personally I think it's more...natural, for lack of a better word, than a harness.

GV Sailor (as it's called now) offers a vanilla that is, more or less, skin tone. You could go with that if you can't find a Mr. Limpy/Mister Softie/whatever else it's sold as (they're all made by Fleshlight from my understanding) in the right tone; GV offers 4.5" and 5.5" while the Fleshlight packer is offered in as small as 3.5". Those are probably your best bets money-wise as the Fleshlight packer can be found for under $20 and the GV packer runs in the mid-$20 range if I remember correctly. A quick internet search or something can usually pull up sites that offer one or the other, if not both.

There are "vanilla" packers out there.  I recommend getting the Mr. Limpy to start out with.  It's cheap and if something happens to it, it's not a huge loss (money wise).  There's a few different places to purchase them from and the cost is generally $12-15 + shipping.

Two sellers (there are more, I'm sure) are Tool Shed Toys and Early to Bed.  You can google them easily.

A purchased harness isn't truly necessary.  Depending on the underwear you already have, that could be enough to hold your packer in place.  Tight briefs can do the job well.  A jock strap also works.  But if you're feeling crafty, you can DIY an elastic harness.  All you need is two elastic straps that you can get at WalMart or any craft store.  I can't find the original video, but here's a vid showing basically what it looks like and how to use it.

I use the smallest Soft Pack from Babeland ($16), and it stays in my briefs just fine by itself.  I dance/run/work with it in and have never had an issue.  Also yeah, vanilla looks pretty close if you're pale.

my favorite packer so far is the good vibes vinilla it comes pretty close to my skin tone, the best harness can be made for under $2 out of clear elastic there are some videos on youtube that show how to make them. best of all you can wear it under any underwear and its really comfortable and effective.

Save yourself money and make a harness. Just need elastic (if you're not allergic). Make one big loop that fits on your hips and a small one that's just big enough for the packer. Stitch it all together or use knots. Cost is less than $5. I got the mini soft pack from fleshlight. It was about $12, and for me it's been well worth it.

or, if you don't like the idea of strings between or around your buttocks, you can attach a piece of velcro to the front inside of your boxers and the other side of the velcro to a sneaker sock. you can put the packer in the sock and attach the sock to your boxers by closing the velcro.
