Packing

[Kentrie]

I have to put something in the message body thing so....

[Elijah3291]

it usually makes me feel worse, because having it there only reminds me that it isn't real, and its not attached, and it has no nerves

[Natkat]

I vote others because I dont have a real packer yet,

I want one to see how it will makes me feel, =3

[Kreuzfidel]

It's helped my dysphoria.  Even though it doesn't have sensation, it looks and feels great and is a far cry better IMHO than being flat-crotched.

You guys are crazy! I hadn't any experience of FTM b4 this site. I'm finding myself to be unprejudiced towards you.

Other: It makes me feel more comfortable and relieves dysphoria.

Pre T I tried packing but it made me really dysphoric, it brought my attention to that part of my body and it bothered me that my dick had no feeling. Recently I felt the need to pack again so I ordered a packer and now it makes me more comfortable having something there.

Sometimes it helps me feel more comfortable, and other times it makes me feel really dysphoric. Depends, I guess. Right now I wouldn't know as I've lost my dick >.< transguy problems...

I don't think it helps me feel more masculine--I don't always feel or want to feel masculine. I can be feeling really femme but want to pack, for me it's more about body comfort and male-ness as I define it for myself.

More masculine, I guess.
It makes me feel better about my self confidence.

[LordKAT]

Other, it reduces panic.

I don't pack. I don't wear tight enough clothing for anybody to see whether I'm flat-crotched or not, and I really don't want to be any higher maintenance than I currently am. I don't even wear underwear except for long johns.

The times I've tried it, though, it made me feel more masculine.
