Any Suggestions? (Packers)

[VenomGaia]

Alright guys, here's the backstory...

Recently, I've decided that, more than anything, I want a packer. I guess it's because my bottom dysphoria is much stronger than my top (don't know why though...breasts irritate me a LOT). I've been looking around for a good packer, but because I've never owned one, and don't know any FTMs that I could consult in person, I've been having a hard time picking one. After all, I'm not about to throw away $200 on something that I'm not fond of, and can't return.

Personally, I've been looking for packers that meet a rather...strict...criteria. For one, I'm african american, but rather pale. I want a prosthetic/simple packer that can match my skin tine, even if it IS a little darker. The idea of wearing a peach-colored packer when I have milk coffee-colored skin doesn't really appeal to me...
I also want a prosthetic/packer that can be used for sexual activities. For example, the Peecock Gen 2 with the pleasure Rod (after seeing a few reviews on it, though, I'm not very trusting).  While this isn't really mandatory, I think it's one of the top two things I'm looking for in a packer...

If all else fails, I'd like a packer that can be used as a STP device. I'm not a perfectionist here when it comes to pissing, I know that there's always the chance that you can piss youself with one of these. I just want to know if there's a good packer for that, or at LEASE a good design...
tl;dr
1. Can it match other skin tones than caucasian?
2. Can it be used for sex or sex-related activities (and can the user feel pleasure?)
3. Can you use it to STP?

Okay, now that that's over with, does anyone know of any packers that can match at least one of these criteria...?

Oh man, we are so in a similar boat here. I'm very much the same, re: ethnicity and skin tone and I think that the need to have my packer match is what drove me to play around with modifying them. 

Anyway, for me, I like the idea of a basic Mr Limpy, recolored and cored, so that you can either insert a rod/vibe for sex, or the STP device of your choice that fits well with your anatomy.  It's easy, cheap, and gives you a lot of flexibility.  The downside is that it's very DIY and not as sturdy or sterilizable as other set ups. 

The Peecock seems great, but IMO the color is a little iffy, as are the details.  Ditto "Like Real" packers, though what seem good about this brand is that you can use any STP you want with them, while with Peecock, you only have one built-in option, and if it doesn't end up working for you, you'll end up running a tube down it anyway which might detract from the realism/overall function.  The up side, sex-wise, for both of these is that you can insert rods or vibes into them to make them pleasurable for both giver and receiver.

Lola Jake is another company which has packers like this, but again, people have had problems with the color, details, and durability issues.  I've heard that they're revamping their line as we speak, however, so that might not be a problem in the near future.

I also like the idea of getting one of the more realistic, mid-range products (because their color matching is best) professionally cored for use with STPs and erection rod/s.  Lots of companies wont do that though, and I wouldn't approach it on my own.

It' really frustrating.

I'd say your best bet is the Peecock, right now. And maybe, you can recolor it on your own with silicone paints if you're displeased with the color? I'm working on a tutorial on how to do that cheaply, using the same techniques FX prosthetics folks do for movies and television.

What's also been helpfull for me is scouring the internet for pictures of male genitalia that match your skin tone/ethnic background so that you can send those along to companies and say "this is what I'd want.  How close can you get?"

It sounds like you are looking for a prosthetic. The three color packer situation usually doesn't match anybody. It doesn't matter what you skin tone is. As most of them are extremely odd unrealistic colors.  I thought the RM basic is pretty good a color as packers (not prosthetics) go.  You need there to be about 16 to get any sort of realistic match, imo. And you can only get that in prosthetics anyway.

LikeReal, haven't heard that great about them, esp lately. You can just get a hole in it and insert your own STP, and that's about the best I'd say. Their own "system", if they are still making it is a joke. They will also send you (for about $35 US) two or maybe three little dicks in different colors. At least it shows the colors correctly.

I wouldn't do Lola Jake. I haven't had the durability and quality control problems but mine is supposedly a packer model and you could actually use it as play only. It is unbendy and sticks straight out. I use it around the house but it looks like I have a pistol in my pocket. Their price also went up.

You might look into Emisil. There was one review that seemed pretty good.
RM could probably do it as far as color,but there is no STP. No STP on Emisil either. The Peecock comes in a few colors (maybe 4-5). It isn't goign to match that well but they aren't just in pinkish.

Yeah, a prosthetic sounds like the best thing to go with for now, despite the higher price. I'm staying away from LikeReal, just because I haven't heard ANYTHING good about them. ReelMagik looks okay, and Emisil's products are gorgeous. My only problem is the lack of an STP. I might just buy one, and try to make a hole in it (God knows I'm going to fail, but hey ;P it's worth a try).

I don't know too much about Lola Jake, I hope that, if they are revamping their line, they'll be a bit more reliable. I wouldn't like to walk around with a raging hard-on, that sounds uncomfortable, lol.


@Nowhereboi
Haha, it appears that we are!
Mr. Limpy looks like the best packer around, huh? I saw a really nice tutorial on re-coloring them, and it appears that they're really easy to modify. I just might get one of them ;P

And, hey. I'm in the same boat there. A professionally cored, 3-in-1 product would be very nice, and while the idea of having an all-around packer is nice, I wouldn't like to be the first one to buy one, and be dissapointed.
