Hello guys, I have a few questions for you:
I just bought my first binder on e-bay (it was cheap and people recommended it, even though they didn't have my size I bought one anyways to at least try it, since I don't think I measured myself well anyways) and now I need help for packers.
Now, my parents don't really support me, so I have to buy everything without telling them what it is (I told my mother that I bought a normal shirt), so I'll have to find a place where to hide the packer while it's not in use... but my main question is: which one should I buy?
It would be perfect if I could buy a 3 in 1 packer, but then again, I don't have a lot of money so I need something cheap. For now, I think I'll buy the small Mr. Limpy, but I first want to know what you guys would recommend.
I'd like a STP, but I'm kind of worried about it. How does it work? I'm scared I'll end up with pee all over me, and that isn't really nice...
Also, two more questions: How many hours do you think I should bind? I'm still in High school and if I wear it while at school, I'll have to bind for at least seven hours a day.
Does any of you know cheap clothing websites? I'm looking especially for european websites, I don't want to end up having to pay 30 euros just for shipping costs...
Thank you in advance!

I bind at school all day, so if you ordered your binder a size up you should be fine. If you ordered a size down, I'd be careful
As for packing, for a first time packer, I'd say the Mr. Limpy or the MASHO packer are great, but since it sounds like you're in Europe you might not be able to get your hands on the MASHO without paying pricey shipping. If you're interested in STPs, you could always go buy a medicine spoon, cut off the end, and see if that method would work for you. And if that method did work, there are the Mr Limpy medicine spoon STPs you could order instead.

I would just go with the 3 inch Mr. Limpy. Use that for a while and from there you can figure out if you want to venture into STPs. Mr. Limpy is light and very comfortable. You can just pop it in a pair of underwear and go (many other packers are heavier and require jockstraps or harnesses..). I prefer a jockstrap with mine, but if you want to have minimal things in your house and minimize how often you order, Mr. Limpy may be the right choice. Since they are so cheap, I would order two in one shot, in case you really like them and want more than one.

I mentioned a jockstrap as I think they are cheaper (and more comfortable) than a lot of harnesses. Though you can look at youtube and I'm sure find something free. You can also put in underwear (though you seem to be pretty active). I'd agree with the Mr Limpy. Some guys don't even like packers so you can definitely find out.

Thank you, everyone! I think I'll go with the Mr Limpy one then, I just need the money and I need to know how much the shipping costs are... I have no clue about it, though...
I found a few tutorials on how to make a harness without buying anything, thanks anyways!
