Comparing Prosthetic Options? (Reelmagik, FTMProsthetics, Like Real)

[JDMiller95]

I've owned my fair share of packers, and each has failed for some reason or another (I have a lot of anxiety and each packer seemed to cause anxieties for different reasons). My next step is to find an adhesive prosthetic, because I think that's what will work for me in the end. I was wondering if y'all had anything you could weigh in on the following options/my concerns?

Reelmagik
- Quality-wise, this is the one I'm most interested in and have heard the best reviews about. My #1 issue here is that even the 4.5" -- their smallest option -- sounds WAY too big to me. I am very very self-conscious about having a big bulge (in the sense that I cannot). Also, they have a really long queue and it seems I wouldn't get it until the mid/late summer........ Has anyone owned the 4.5" inch (no flex-rod, just straight-up flaccid prosthetic nothing fancy) and could offer any insight on if it seems really big or if it's totally natural and fine, even in skinny jeans, perhaps?

FTM Prosthetics
- This is my second runner up because they offer far smaller options (although the 3" sounds a bit TOO small, but whatever), but I haven't been able to find as many helpful reviews on them, and specifically none for the smaller (3"/4") or flaccid-only options. Thoughts?

Like Real
- I've only been looking at these since a few minutes ago. The products don't look great (maybe the pictures are bad but the color looks really grey and weird), but also not-too-bad, and they're significantly cheaper. I read one person who was content with theirs and other people saying that the adhesive doesn't work at all (which is my #1 necessity). Has anyone else had problems with adhesive, or have anything to offer on the overall quality, etc?

If you've had experience with multiple, or just strong feelings about one, let me know if you feel "[this one] is DEFINITELY the best option for the price, size, etc." Thanks so much if you can answer this or help out at all!!!!!

PS: First post here. Very exciting. Maybe.

LikeReal is not in the same class. I'd put it more in the inexpensive prosthetic/expensive packer range. I've heard some quality control issues.

Ftm prosthetics haven't gotten such great reviews. Also very expensive ($700+). I don't agree that for a packer only that 3" is too small. The average size of cis males is 2.5-3.5". I think it's right at the size it should be.

RM-- 4.5" sounds doable for packing, imo, esp without the rod.

Might check out: He has smaller sizes (3.5"+). I think they look better in person.

(True confession, he's a friend of mine. There was a recent review.)

I agree with Jay.  I did a lot of research before purchasing from RM.  I really wanted FTMProsthetics, but I could not justify the price when RM seemed to offer basically the same items, looked as good and better prices.  I have purchased a few items from RM and the only thing I don't like is the weight.  I wish their items were lighter because I feel this contributes to the movement from where I place it initially with the adhesive.  That is honestly my only complaint and just a personal one I think.  Its not even that bad, I just want it to stay in one spot no matter what.

Like Jay, I have heard abit about problems with their products.   I don't know much about FTMProsthetics because honestly, once I got my first RM product, I was hooked.

I've owned 4 RM products...their Basic Packer, the 4.5", 6", and their newest STP model. I absolutely love all of them...they are the most realistic out of any I have seen and tried...so detailed. I've not had any issues with them so far (been using them for years now). For some the weight is an issue, but I don't feel that they are much heavier than any other products, or at least it is not noticeable to me. The paint they use has not work off (like some other brands I have heard of), and they feel amazing. They have by far the best customer service...always there to take my phone calls and once I had them on the phone for a half hour with questions I had and they were more than accommodating and pleasant! They are always willing to assist you if you have questions or problems:)
