Title: Ordered my packer today!

Will be here next week. I got the vanilla Mr Softie packer from Tool Shed Toys.
Has anyone had any experience with this particular packer? I've read a little about what to expect from my packer but I want to know if anyone has any tips to give me.
I didn't buy a packing strap or anything. I already have a really good harness that could accommodate a packer but I think it might be a little bulky for everyday wear, so I might try to rig up something of my own design as very few of my undergarments would be able to hold the packer without fear of it falling down.

Awesome.
I just ordered my first packer. I was almost going to go with the Mr. Softie but I opted for Home Growns "Peter". It's very similar to what you've ordered but it's made by a prosthetics artist in Sydney Australia. I wonder if it's really worth the extra money to get something handmade. Let us know what you think of your new packy. I have no idea about a harness atm I don't know what I'm going to use.
Good Luck

Congrats! I ordered the Packy from EarlytoBed.com - it's cyberskin and pokes out a bit, but wearing it with tight jocks helps flatten things out more naturally. I also made my own 'harness' out of shoe laces after seeing that someone else (maybe here) did the same. I keep mine powdered with cornstarch/cornflour to help with it feeling realistic. Sometimes the balls get sticky from my body heat, but I just re-powder them and they're fine. I'm not sure if Mr. Softie is cyberskin or silicone? Anyway good luck and enjoy. I know mine helps insanely with my self-confidence.

The Mr Softie is a Cyberskin. I wasn't really sure what to go with and I wanted to find one that wasn't so brightly pink and this color matched my skin tone pretty well.
I've been told mine pokes out a bit too so I've found a few ways to flatten it down. I decided to try cornstarch too but I'm not sure how I like it.
Do you think you could direct me to the shoe-lace thing? I have a strap-on harness but it's too bulky to use with this packer, it didn't work at all when I tried it so I'd kind of like something more minimal (but I didn't want to buy the stuff they had on the Tool Shed site).

@ Phate. Don't remember the site and I can't seem to find it, but it was a suggestion and not really a how-to. I will be happy to make you a diagram/drawing of how to create it the way I figured it out, though.

I've found that jock straps work perfectly for keeping my packer in place. They're about 10 bucks and are super reliable. You don't have to worry about anything falling out.
