Here's a guide for those of you who don't know what they are, which kinds there are, and where to get them.

Soft pack: there are three main ones.
Mr limpy=phthalate-free Reel Feel Super Skin, most popular, the packy most companies use to make stps, now only available in pink, available in four sizes, flat back balls.
Mr right=vixskin silicone(can be sterilized), more expensive, available in three colors, only availble in one size, 3D balls.
GoodVibes soft pack= cyberskin, available in three colors, available in two sizes, 3D balls.

Hard pack: basically any dildo made for penetration

Dual packer: many claim to be dual, but there are really no "good" duals out there.
Goodfella=vixskin silicone, 3D balls, balls sit in front of harness.

Prosthesis: there are a few makers out there, they look realistic, and most stick on your skin with an adhesive. All or most are made of medical grade silicone. Come in customized colors.
FTM prosthetics= soft pack, hard pack, dual
Home grown= soft pack, stp
Lolajake= soft pack, hard pack, pack n play, stp
Mango products= soft pack, hard pack, stp
Phallus prosthesis= soft pack
Tyron2 prosthetics= soft to hard pack

Stp: a device to help you stand to pee, or a converted packy.
Dj knows dicks
Whiz freedom
Pstyle
And other fuds or homemade devices.

Feel free to add on any I have forgotten.

Do you pack?

- Sometimes right now.

If so, how do you pack? (Hard, soft, dual, prosthetic)

- Soft

Do you use a stp packer or a fud?

- FUD = Fear Uncertainty and Doubt, said to be IBM's main sales tool in the 1960s/70s. Not sure I want that in my pants, Nope not using an STP yet but interested.

What do you use to keep your package in place?(harness, strap, briefs, etc)

- Briefs, experimenting with straps.

Whats the name of the packer that you use?

- Mang w/o the tube

What size is it?

- "Yay" big?

Where did you buy it from?

- given to me

How much did it cost?

- Zip

How often do you use it?

- Not all that often, going to FTM meetings, going out, etc.

How long has it lasted/or did it last you?

- Just got it recently, not sure.

Which have you tried?

- I have a Mr Right I'm working on taming, and I think I stuffed with a sock once.

Which do you recommend/don't you recommend?

- I'd say the Vixen Creations stuff is top flight. The Mr Right though it big for a smaller individual, even though it's the size I'd have gotten genetically - it works great for larger guys. I'm very happy with my little tubeless Mango, and may be able to use it as an STP later. But I don't have much experience.

This is a review of all packers.

Do you pack?   Yes, 24/7
If so, how do you pack? (Hard, soft, dual, prosthetic)  Soft
Do you use a stp packer or a fud?  STP
What do you use to keep your package in place?(harness, strap, briefs, etc)  briefs

Whats the name of the packer that you use?  Mango
What size is it?  5.5"
Where did you buy it from?  Mango
How much did it cost?  $70
How often do you use it?  Daily
How long has it lasted/or did it last you?  replace tubing every few months, replaced packer once

Which have you tried? pretty much every packy
Which do you recommend/don't you recommend?  Like real with NO urinary system (packy = great, urination system = sucks), cheapy packy 3.5" is the best packer IMO, Love Mango's urination receptacle but I ordered a replacement STP a YEAR AGO and no response, no STP so can't recommend them at all.  Best hard packer would be a toss up between Like Real (again, no urination system which is a waste of money) or the FTM Prosthetic from Australia (not the dual, the regular 6" erect, has great girth!)

Lucky you've had one given to you that didn't cost you!

I've heard that about mr.right, that its a bit big.

I think they're the best products as well, just a bit pricey, but I guess its worth it for the silicone material.

Keep up the practice!

[Alex_C]

I paid in full for the mr right though, and got the strap for it too, unfortunately I was looking at the quality of leather on the strap and not the size, ended up with a Medium which is too big so I have some tailoring to do. I think if I wear it with the strap then briefs over it, it might work OK also maybe the Wranglers I wear aren't the best pants for being subtle.

It's funny cos you have some big bio guys with small hardware, and some small bio guys (like my dad and older bro) who have stuff the size of the Mr Right easily. So the Mr Right is the right size for me "genetically" but I may or may not be able to make it work for any kind of routine wear.

This is a review of all packers.
Do you pack?

Yes, every day - if I'm not wearing it I feel incomplete.

If so, how do you pack? (Hard, soft, dual, prosthetic)

Prosthetic, but not glued on. I also have a soft pack for swimming.

Do you use a stp packer or a fud?

What's a FUD?

What do you use to keep your package in place?(harness, strap, briefs, etc)

I use the World's Simplest Packing Harness (Google it and you'll find it) - it's homemade, and cost under a quid to make

Whats the name of the packer that you use?

Lucas Plus and and a limpy for swimming.

What size is it?

Lucas Plus is 6.25" x 5.5", With full 3D balls - according to the Lola Jake website, the limpy is 5.5 inches according to the website.

Where did you buy it from?

I was given the Lucas Plus by a friend who bought it and then decided he didn't want it, I bought the limpy from LoveHoney

How much did it cost?

Lucas Plus was a gift, so zilch. But according to the website, it retails at $525. The limpy cost £12.99

How often do you use it?

The Lucas Plus: to pack - every day. To play - as often as possible! And I use the limpy when I go swimming, so about once a month currently.

How long has it lasted/or did it last you?

I've had both of them quite a while now, but not exactly sure how long. I could check back I suppose...

Which have you tried?

I started out with a home made hair gel/condom one, then moved to a DJ Knows Dick one, and now on the Lola Jake and the limpy for swimming.

Which do you recommend/don't you recommend?

I recommend both of them for different purposes.

Sneakersjay, so do you think the Like Real Prothetics are worth the price without the STP? I have been looking at those for awhile but heard conflicting things. Thanks for letting us know their STPs aren't good. There's a BIG price difference in their standard and STP prothetics.

[sneakersjay]

Worth the $150-200?  Yes.  Worth $600-800?  NO.

The smaller packer has a nice texture to it.  The larger one is a bit more rubbery but a lot better than Lola Jake (I hate the texture of those.)  I obviously have the urinary system and don't know how much different they are without, though I'd assume they are more solid since they lack the opening through the center.  They didnt' have that option when I bought mine or I would have gotten them without.  Sometimes it pays to procrastinate rather than being first in line.

I did wear the smaller one glued on for >1 full month.  Liked it a lot.  Just takes a lot of time to keep up with applying it etc.  I'm lazy.

How do you know your genetic size?

[Alex_C]

Cos I seen my dad and older bro naked a lot!

[notyouraverageguy]

Ohh, I see.
I wish I knew mine.
My "brother" is from a different dad, so all I have is my dad, and he lives states away.
Maybe a cousin? But they're all from my moms side...

Hmm..

I recently received the 3.5 FTM stud and cock strap.

I am happy with it so far, havent had a chance to try it out though.

[Alex_C]

I've tailored (removed several inches from) the strap for the Mr Right and wore it, ovenight even and while it's fun, I just look like I'm having too much fun lol.

I wonder if I should take my Mango and put some kind of a tube back in it, and try it as an stp?

[Radar]

Worth the $150-200?  Yes.  Worth $600-800?  NO.

I can't believe the extra costs just for the STP option. And then they're crap! Highway robbery.

[Alex_C]

Crotch robbery! crotch robbery! lol

[GDTripp]

Do you pack?/How often do you use it?
Oh Yeah!! Most all the time cos it makes me feel more complete

If so, how do you pack?
Homemade packy with condoms, hair gel, and knee-highs, how-to courtesy of DJ knows dicks

Do you use a stp packer or a fud?
No stp packer yet, but I made my own STP device with a wide straw, a plastic bottle cap and plenty of hot glue

What do you use to keep your package in place?
tighty-whities by themselves, a homemade harness when wearing boxers

What size is it?
Um, let me measure myself...    dick about 3.5 inches long, girth = between a quarter and a half-dollar

Where did you buy it from?/How much did it cost?
package of 12 condoms $10 at CVS, about 1/3 of a bottle of hair gel on sale @ 2 bottles/$4 at CVS, knee highs at Walmart for 35c. Cheap as hell!!

How long has it lasted/or did it last you?
my first is still useable, has lasted about a year, but i made a more realistically sized one recently

[notyouraverageguy]

So I finally had a chance to try out my 3.5" stp packer, and it works perfect. Good size, not too bulgey. I got it right the first time, no leaks yet. I bought the strap that goes with it, it holds it perfectly in place. I am completely satisfied with the stp packer AND strap. Great customer service, awesome prices, and fast shipping times. I just wish I were able to buy more of the same color. >X[

Is there really that big of a price difference? What do they do, make everything from scratch?... what exactly is the problem with their stp? Also I noticed they don't have any circumsized models...

Yes, you should!
Get clear plastic tubing from walmarts fish product section, or find the silicone tubing and stick a medicine spoon or medicine dropper at the end of it, and whalah lol with a little bit of waterproof strong bond glue.

Was using a packy thing I think it was Mr. Right. I then got a STP and never mastered it (DJ). Now I use a Lola Jake Lucas plus. I glued it one so I can wear it 24/7. My idea is to use the spoon for peeing. I needed something that was a pack and play as my SO and I got tired of the wait while I strap it on. Since we have sex semi regularly that function as really important, less than the pee side of things. I think it all comes down to what is important to you and what is in your wallet. I had read a few reviews about the Lola Jake one (jay did a good one) so I knew the good and bad ahead of time.

I hope yours has decent color at least!

The Like Real guys have come down in price a lot esp. if you don't get the STP option (waste of money IMO).  Better color and texture than LJ but that's personal preference.

I actually ordered one a little darker since you had such a bad color. Mine came out on the darker shade of Carmel. I lucked out on the at point. I remember you said yours was supper light and shiny so I went with Carmel vs. White. If I was only using it for packing I would no have gotten it. I wanted one that was pack and play and my SO like the length of the Lucas Plus. She is out of the country now and I think it is safe to say she will be a bit surprised by how thick it is. Good thing it gets flatter when the rod is out or there is no way it would fit in my pants. I had to go back to the store today and get XL-Condoms.
Definitely do not buy this for packing only or if you may occasionally have sex, would not be worth it, IMHO.
Cheers,
Myles

Since we can't have all three(or four, or five, or six) things in a good prosthetic, a realistic pack pee and play... I say the best option out there is to get a silicone pack and play that adheres to you, and use a seperate stp device on the side... it sucks though, that mtfs have it easier than ftms in that department, especially in bottom surgery... someday, hopefully soon, someone will have a breakthrough either in surgery or prosthetics.
