Mango STP + Harness Review

Thought I'd do a review, 'cuz I got my Mango today...  a bit over six months after I ordered it.  >.>

Obviously they aren't the fastest at getting stuff shipped out, though the guy who is apparently in charge sent out an e-mail in November stating that he had underwent a series of emergencies (personal life stuff, I'm guessing), so...  guess I just ordered at a really bad time.  Plus the guy is offering a discount on the next order for all people who have had to wait beyond the expected delivery time, so that's cool.

I got the Mango STP, 3.5".  Looks to be just the right size for my frame (5'4", 145 lbs).  I was worried about a too-large bulge, but this is perfect.  My jeans appear to have some extra room in the front anyways (guys jeans--the zipper has always stuck out and created a bulge to the point that I've had friends comment), and this just fills that space in.  Yeah, the thing is pink, but it actually (sadly?) goes well enough with my skin.  Genitals do seem to be a bit darker than the rest of the skin, and if you happen to be as pale as I am... 'darker' probably means light pink (and really, the color is not so garish or bright as I have heard it described). 

As for construction: it's top notch, very professional.  The receptacle is a soft, flexible silicone and it is the reason why I spent the extra cash on a Mango as opposed to less expensive varieties that use medicine spoons (I never could get medicine spoons to fit quite right, plus I find them kinda uncomfortable).  The tubing is larger in diameter than I was expecting (about D = 5/8").  However, it isn't extended all the way to the exit (aka pee-hole), so the urine stream won't be unnaturally wide.  The actual exit is 1/8".  The Mango I got has latex tubing and it has already begun to swell.  The people at Mango offer replacement tubing at $1/piece, though a full roll could probably be had at a home improvement store.  I requested silicone tubing because I wanted to avoid this... but guess they forgot.  I'll be e-mailing about that.

I also got the harness (the one made for STP's and packys, not penetration).  I was thinking it would be useful when I wear boxers... think again.  If there's a way for it to not look like I have an erection with the harness (sans briefs), I have not found it.  Tried readjusting and even tucking the shaft into the harness waistband, but no dice; it comes out.  I considered a "cock sock" for boxer use, but figured that would make using the STP difficult/impossible.  I figured that the harness made by the manufacturer would surely allow for STP use... think again.  I'm sure it could be managed, but it would require pulling the harness waistband down and even then the shaft points slightly upwards.  It's really an issue of the tubing not being long enough when wearing the harness.  If the tubing was longer (and you can request longer tubing), it would reach whilst still harnessed in place.

But overall, quite nice.  Now I need to practice.  And I never thought when I ordered this thing that by the time I got it, I would be almost 2 months on T.

I bought replacement tubing at home depot in a smaller diameter.  It's harder to get on the receptacle but does work well.  It swells also, but to a more manageable diameter.

Out of curiosity, when did you place your order?  I'm still waiting for mine.  I ordered in October.

I had a spare packy that today I seared a hole in it with a hot screwdriver.  Minor mishap aside I made my own replacement stp packy.  My original Mango stp packy has seen better days (worn 24/7 for about 10 months).

Jay, I ordered September 9th.  Do you remember what diameter tubing you bought?  Smaller sounds like a good plan, but I don't want to go too small.

Lol, I plan on it being a DIY project when this packy goes.  The cyberskin is great (likin' how it holds body heat), but something about it just feels like... it's gonna disintegrate eventually.  The hole that's drilled through the Mango packy is exceptionally clean.  I wonder if it was done with a hot screwdriver or something else.  I kind of want to try a power drill with a long bit (might work like a charm, might chew it up horribly)...

It was the only size they had; no tag now but it looks like it measures 1/4" interior diameter.  I fold over the end of itself, like inside out, then work it over the end of the receptacle and use super glue to hold it in place. 

I've also found that you can trim the tubing when it swells.  Just pull back the tip of the cock, snip, then pull the cock back over the tubing.  I usually have to trim it 3 or 4 times before I finally replace it.  I'd say I replace it maybe every 2-3 months, depending.

I think a power drill would chew it up horribly. Heat's the only way to go. The material is so soft, it's gonna grab at pieces of the drill bit and tear.

Heat, yes.  And not as much as you might think.  I discovered that yesterday with the 5.5" packy.  Something to remember for next time.

Brilliant.  I was trying to figure out how I'd (fairly) easily stretch the smaller diameter tubing over the receptacle.  That'd do it.  Thanks  :)

Good to know about the low heat, too, 'cuz I probably would've heated it too much the first time I tried and wound up with a half-melted packy....

There was a great video on youtube on how to create a STP packy like ya'll are talking about. I'll need to remember where I found it though. Maybe someone else remembers this video. :P

If it's the 3.5" it's not as huge an issue because it goes right through.  I got into trouble with the 5.5.  Next time I'll have to do half-and half. Even after the screwdriver sat for a while, it was still hot enough to go through the back half. But yeah, I did end up with an area that was slightly over-melted.
