Just got a Mango

[myles]

There are some videos on you tube about how to make your own. If your interested check it out. It doesn't look too hard.

[Alex_C]

Yeah there's a guy making one .... but isn't the Mango PnP just a Mr Softy with a tube put in? I want to make sure my info is correct because the guys who want Mangos are not getting them, and I want to make sure this thread is useful to them, to get a mango just not from Mango.

[myles]

They have been having back order problems for over a year Mango that is, so not so good. That is why I ended up going with DJ's PPP (or whatever it's called). It was more expensive but I knew I would actually get it. Only took about 10 day and it came from Canada. I have not seen a Mango before but I think you are correct when you say a Mr. Softy with a tube and a medicine spoon put on the end.
If I needed another and was more confident with my skills on wielding hot sharp objects I would make one with the stuff mentioned above.
Cheers,
Myles

Hey Radar,

Ive never worn the hg-prosthetics with the stp attached so that i dont know.  If your wearing briefs they stay in place real good, but the occasional little shuffle to the left or right may need to be done.  Sometimes, it may start to move sideways but not often. If wearing boxer briefs, they move around a lot and its rly frustrating so whenever wearing the packer I always wear briefs.

I rly like the feel of it.  Hope that helps Radar.

Ive written them email after email and heard nothing back from them!  On their website they said back orders would be completed during August and September but absolutely nothing....Hope we havnt been ripped off.

Thank you. I'm a briefs man only so this helps. I look forward to it. 🙂

Pretty much. The only thing 'special' about it is that the dick comes with a factory pre-formed hole, so it's easier to change the tubing out if necessary, and the 'spoon' end is made of a softer, more-foregiving plastic than a medicine spoon.

I got used to the spoon and ordered a spare shortly after I got the first one, and never received it.

You can make them easy enough with a hot screwdriver, latex tubing, and some sort of spoon/receptacle.

Almost every stp packer is just a modified packy. Mango probably makes their own, but its most likely made of the same material.

There are tutorials on how to modify a packer.
Pm me and ill send you the links.

Also I heard many bad things about Mango, and they announced that they were under new ownership and all unanswered emails and unfilled orders would be taken care of.

Djs ppp recently ran out of cacausian beige in their two smallest sizes because the manufacturer that they buy them from stopped making that color.

Also there are strap tutorials, if you'd like to make your own packy holder to keep it in place and from falling out. And if you have too much of a bulge you can add a strap or so to tame it.
Or you could use tight briefs, a jockstrap, or simply buy a mr.right strap.
If you're a small- medium sized guy, anything bigger than 4.5" will most likely look bulgey.

Thank you. I'm a briefs man only so this helps. I look forward to it.

Let us know your opinion once you get it.

I'm thinking of getting an stp one from them myself.

[Alex_C]

I have two jocks I got from Wal-Mart for something like $4.50 each, I may use the waist band to make Mr Right straps out of 'em.

The Mango is very well behaved in moderately tight briefs. 

[Jay]

I was wondering about buying a jock strap for my lolajake when it arrives.. I shall have to see I guess!

Jay

[Alex_C]

A jock will have very useful starting materials anyway, a nice waist band, a pocket, and two nice leg straps. The Mr Right strap has no leg straps, and it looks like I can cut the leg straps off of a jock and use 'em to make the little holder for the Mr Right.

Pretty good deal for $5 or so.

[Jay]

That is pretty much what it looks like yeah. The only thing is.. that I found it usless like that I would prefer the leg straps as it makes it more secure.

I have a Lola Jake Lucas Plus which I pack with every day. I don't glue it on - I cut off the bit that you're supposed to use to glue it on with as I didn't like the idea of having to shave there every few days, and all the rest of the hassle that goes with it. I use the world's simplest packing harness, which is a homemade harness using 2 pieces of elastic - Google for world's simplest packing harness and it should be pretty much top of the list. It's cheap, dead easy to make, and works brilliantly - try it before buying a jock strap or anything else, you'll be surprised just how good it is!

[xxaussiexx]

DOnt you find the Lucas Plus way too big to pack?  It looks massive in my pants when i was trying to wear jeans....like im really happy all the time 😛

It's bigger than average, yes, but I don't find it too big to pack with at all. Maybe I'm just a size king

Anyway, I plan to have a phallo in the not-too-distant future, and it'll probably be a similar size - so I might as well get used to it now!

[Alex_C]

Considering my Dad and older bro who I've both had plenty of views of, the Mr Right is not out of line at all for my family. That being said, it looks big on me, being a fairly small guy. I'm not counting out wearing my Mr Right but I want to make a copy of the harness that's sold commercially for one. And even then, only for "cruising" nights or something lol.

That world's simplest harness is very cool, stuff's called elastin right?

[Jay]

Also there are strap tutorials

Where abouts is that buddy?!

world's simplest harness

I am guessing the instructions are on Ftm Passing Tips site..

It's on you tube and if you ever played with a "cat's cradle" as a kid you'll figure it out.

[GamerJames]

I put my packy in the fly part of my boxer briefs. That way there's a layer of cloth between me and it (cuz previously when it was skin-to-skin it was too hot and sweaty, eww), and it has it's own little "pouch" of sorts to rest in. When I drop trou to go to the washroom, it stays in its little nest quite well. When I pull up I have to give it a little "readjustment" to make sure it's in the right place, but otherwise it stays in place all day. It's the best thing since sliced bread if you ask me. I sleep with it in the fly too, and even without pants overtop to "hold it in" the fly holds it just fine. Never once woken up with it fallen out, even partially. I may need to adjust some mornings, but it never really goes too far - not even "ends up sideways" kind of adjustments, just "needs to be a little higher up" or such.

Just my two cents, ymmv. 🙂

Sorry Alex,
I had to have a laugh.
I saw the title to the thread and said. Mmm love Mango's and they are so cheap this time of year. I wonder why Alex would have a post on recieving a mango? Maybe they are difficult to carry on a bike and he has a patent method? Whoopps.

Not being rude just had to share a smile.

Love to all my brothers, take care guys

LOL, Cindy.  I've had similar thoughts, and I know what a Mango is.  But the best part is, I'll bet you'll never look at mangoes in the supermarket the same way again.     (I guess that would be the Strange Fruit in my pants, that I just posted in the "in my pants" thread.  )

But back to the thread:  I've considered getting a suspensory jock for a packing harness.  They're kind of pricey, though, and I actually do know how to sew, so I can't justify being that lazy.
