I can't buy a packer myself and the only way to get one is if my parents order them for me online. :/
Although, my mom is very accepting and supportive I have no idea how she would react if I asked for a packer. And more importantly (kinda) I have no idea how to ask her for one. But I know for sure she can afford one right now, so I don't wanna wait. So, if anyone got any ideas how to bring the subject up? Also, I am out to my entire family so there's no problem there. But, everyone I've asked online has said that "I'm too young for a packer, I don't need one". But cisguys my age have dicks, so why shouldn't I? :( And I just want one of those cheap, "Packy" or something like it. But the only places I've found them are at like "sex-toys sites". Which would be awkward to show to my mom.
But obviously the main reason I want one is because I have really, really bad bottom dysphoria. Even right now, I'm just sitting down and the fact that there's nothing there just makes me so damn depressed. :( And it's frustrating because there's nothing I can do about it, except for a packer. I feel like jumping into a big black hole and get sucked out of this crap.
**And I have packed with socks, doesn't work. Well, it kinda does, but I got a wound because of the material against my skin. And that's not really the place I like having wounds at. Thank god it was only at my thigh and not on the actual, you know, "it".
And sorry it got so long.. And also, I'm new here so, sorry if I made any mistakes, with anything.
Personally, I know very little of the growth rate of a penis during normale male puberty. But knowing that a lot of (adult) guys consider the smallest packer (3.5" mr.limpy/packy/etc) rather/too big for themselves (especially the balls, but also the shaft, considering that the average length is a bit over 3"). So I understand your dysphoria, but it might be whole lot of dick in your pants if you're really young.
Maybe you could buy a gift credit card and order it online yourself? Or find another house hold object to use in place of one. A lot of people make them with condoms and hair gel.

Read this! It's very helpful (and gives you better websites and comparisons and all that for packers!)

Seriously, it explains how to make a homemade one and all that stuff. :)
I role up that gauz stuff and it use a safety pin to hook it to my underwear and it works for me. It creates a bulge and you can role it up to how big you want it.
i buy my own packers and my mom buys my binders. i would suggest buying a visa gift card at the super market or convenient store. you can register the card online and buy a packer that way. if your mom gets the mail and asks you about it you can say its a trans thing that you dont feel comfortable talking about it.
There are plenty of tutorials if you Google, "Homemade FTM packer," Cheap, easy, and no need for convincing your mother.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the help, and I'm definitely going to buy a gift card. I found a place where you can buy them very close to where I live. So now I just gotta get the money, so that is awesome. ;D And I couldn't find a smaller size than 3,5 inches so I'm gonna get that. But if it's too big I'll just cut some of it off, or something. :]

Thanks, I wasn't quite sure how to deal with my mom because she is definitely gonna see the package before I do, so now I can just tell her that she shouldn't open it, and that it's trans-related and I don't feel comfortable talking about it. So thank you, very much!
I'm really excited to buy it now. :]
I don't know if her birthday is coming up or anything, but you could say it's a gift for her and ask her not to peek because you want it to be a surprise.

That's exactly what I did about my binder, since it was around mothers' day. Worked very well for me, no suspicion at all.
Might want to note that it isn't a sex toy before you show her the site. Some people get confused.
