Title: packer
Post by: ajborelli on June 24, 2011, 12:38:40 PM
i bought a packer the day before my mom decided to burn my binder, i am afriad she is going to find this as well, and it is harder to hide if you are wearing it, so it is just sitting in my closet, waiting for someone to wear it. i have a harnes as well. it is a 5.5 in mr packy in pink, i am willing to sell it for 45 (i spent about 55 after shipping and all) or trade it for a M or S binder, used or unused. i just really need a binder

The real problem is your mom isn't supportive, it seems.  There's a lot of research and information about FTM transsexuals, and she needs to read it and understand it if she is going to be part of your life...and I hope she will, she's your mother.

To get back to the point, binders are relatively inexpensive.  Go to a medical supply type store, they should have them there.  The internet of course is a great resource but if Mom is getting the mail every day, then you have a problem.  My best advice is to get her support and understanding, this will save time, money, and a whole lot of grief.

You paid $55 for a Mr. Packy?  I thought they only costed about $15.
I really want one, and I don't want to order it myself because I'm worried about what it might say on the packaging.  but I don't have that much money, sorry :(

I do have a small and a medium binder that I wore once and didn't like.  However, I didn't like it because it didn't bind very well at all, so I don't know if you would want them.

Just hide it in your room in something inconspicous. She will never look in some random box in the bottom of a closet that is clearly for something else like a puzzle or shoes. Or you could put it in a small locking box and claim there is a BB gun inside.

I did the same thing. I emptied all the contents of a board game and replaced them with my packer box, stp, binder, experiemental stps, and covered it with construction paper. From the outside it looks like a Glee board game. On the inside, it's FtM wonderland  :icon_rockon:
