Title: Reel Magik Basic Packer review
Post by: RagingShadow on August 21, 2012, 04:50:14 PM
so I got my RM basic packer last night. I ordered the Caucasian soft one. with shipping/tax, it came to $100.

the color matches my inner arm/thigh perfectly, but wouldn't pass except at a distance. it is one color over the whole thing.

The size is comparable to the small Sailor soft pack. The shaft is slightly thinner, I think, and the texture is a bit odd, but not bad.  The testicles are 3D and firm, but squishy. They are definitely firmer than the shaft. Depending on the harness type, they will fall between your legs when you lie down/sit with your legs parted. It does have some stretch, but nothing compared to Mr. Limpy. The material seems very sturdy and is slightly pull able, especially the folds of the scrotum. I don't think it is at risk for being decapitated by certain harnesses. I isn't sticky at all and it has yet to pick up any pubic hairs.

I am using a homemade harness that is an elastic band with elastic leg straps. it works fairly well, but does tend to ride up a bit. The positioning is a little more complicated (for me) as the flat part is large and I have some issues about where it should sit. I am guessing that lining up the center of the back of the shaft with the base of your clitoris would be pretty close. The packer seems to work best with the shaft pointed straight down, but it will point left/right if you have tight enough underwear. I wouldn't recommend loose boxers, but they'd work if you had heavy/tight pants.  I also don't think that the RM would do well with the Rodeo packing harness. I've never used it, but I'd think you'd loose the felling of swinging testicles, because they definitely swing.

The bulge is slightly larger than the Sailor, but that may be due to the difference in position. I wore my Sailor in spandex women's briefs with the shaft in the concave part of my hip. I wear the RM straight down or slightly left. I think the 3D testicles are also a part of the bulge, but it is by no means obscene. I have yet to have the boner effect and it doesn't stick out the way the 3.5 inch Mr. Limpy does.

I have yet to do any fast movement/exercise with it, but I think it would be fine with the right harness. I have packed with it while sleeping and doing some cleaning chores in public. I didn't have more than one or two moments of "is it too high?" and it mostly stayed in position. I think it may move with more intense movement, though. Again, may be fixed by good harness.

I've seen several penises, and this is comparable, size wise and the angle that it falls at. I haven't ever felt one, but I think that this would pass the squeeze test. I wouldn't wear it through airport security though. Carry on, or check it.

I definitely plan to save up for the 4.5 inch prosthetic.
overall : 9/10
realness/size: 10/10
realness/color: 4/10
texture/firmness: 8/10

pictures to come later tonight, I promise :)

Thanks for the review, man! Very anxious to order mine (probably at the end of this week). Couple questions for you. How long did it take from the day you ordered it to the day of arrival? Also, did you have to sign for the package or did the postman just drop it off on your door step? Anxious to see these pictures too since the only ones I can find are the ones on the website. If at all possible, could you do some sort of video too?

I was looking into getting a new packer to replace my peecock (not satisfied at all with it). Thanks for the review! RM was one of the companies I was looking at.

Good review (and the world's first video of this, afaik :-)). It seems like we are in agreement on this one. I think some of the flaws are actually meant to be there. The back looks like a bio-penis imo. The filament (for lack of a better word) goes all the way down in a real one though. Mine also has a nick on the side. Not sure if that is a design flaw or something of pouring in the mold.

I've actually worn it without a harness or pocket or anything around the house. It seems to stick there (not due to stickiness) but just due to weight and so forth. (Wouldn't recommend going out like that.) I have packed with safety pins inside of boxer briefs without problems.

I think the texture is odd. It is supposed to look like skin, which it does, but it doesn't feel like it. Just feels rough to me. My only complaint actually.

I'm also officially saving for the RM prosthetic. I really like this product.

hey!

Thanks for ur review very helpfull! Been thinking about purchasing that expensive one from RM for ages but havnt got money it sucks, its like my dream prosthesis. Then I saw that they do basic packer and gonna  get it soon.
Only downside is that  it cannot be att3dached to ur body  ive never used harness and stuff like that, been packing with sailor and just poped it in my underwear and works fine. would be impossible to do that with this packer because of 3D balls. or could you?
Maybe there is some way to attach it to ur body without harness? Like that stuff that u use for that expenisve packer. whats the difference? it still got like big bit at the top. or use duck tape lol or something like that. what do u think?

I have the RM packer and I just pop it in my briefs and I have had no problem with it at all.  You just have to remember it is there and be careful when you pull the trousers down to use the restroom so it doesn't just fall out onto the floor especially if someone is in the next stall or at the urinals, trust me embarrassing, this is the voice of experience talking. 

I can't tell you that it would stay put for physical activity such as running or working out, as I just use it like that for day to day stuff, if I am going to work out or do physical activity I don't pack or I use my RM prosthetic and attach it with the adhesive and wear tight briefs.

i'm sure you could use it w/o a harness. i don't feel secure enough without one, so I don't
as for the adhesive, the site says it can't be attached that way. it doesn't say why, but for all we know it could degrade the material, so I wouldn't risk it.

I have put the RM packer in my boxer briefs (I don't wear tight ones at all) and stuck the shaft in the "pocket" and attached it with a couple safety pins (not the packer, just the pocket). You need to be a tiny bit careful, I wouldn't jump around or anything. But it works pretty well-- I think it sticks with you a bit more than the Sailor, the 3D balls actually help this method work, imo. I don't officially pack but I have done it a few times-- ftm support meetings, around the house, etc. When I work out, I don't use a packer, but I am working out at home anyway. Not sure I'd recommend this method for that situation.

I agree with RS that it probably would degrade or somethnig thru the use of adhesives. Also there is no tab. I get the idea that the adhesive actually sticks to the tab, not the prosthetic? I'm guessing a tab adds to the expense of a prosthetic, because you have make the right so they don't just peel off.

Duct tape ewww! That hurts just thinking about.

You might also use a sock thing from  thetransitionalmale.com
I don't know if this would work but you might ask them. They make an extra wide one, which is what I was thinking. The thing is that you might want to try and make one using a tube sock first.
The advantage is that it doesn't touch you skin, so I don't know I don't mind this thing touching my skin as it is pure silicon and not that fleshlight stuff, which makes me break out.
