Title: Binder, Packer, and STP: HELP!!
Post by: CountryBoy120390 on December 14, 2011, 01:56:11 AM
Ok I know that I am a Medium when it comes to binder size, but I have a D chest and I can't figure out what type to use. I've binded in the past but it isn't working.
I have a packer but wear it with briefs... it seems to work well, but is there a better way?
I am using the top of a 16oz soda bottle for an stp at home. If I could pass better I want to use it everywhere but I have to get a real stp. I need beginner's tips

All in all, I need help. Bad. I am starting to get really disphoric and I've never been this depressed.

Not all binders run the same size. So be sure to measure yourself so you get the right size binder. Wearing a binder to small will cause problems.

There are ways to make a harness to keep your packer in place. There are tons of youtube videos of guys showing how to make them. So many I'm not going to link it just search. Using simple things as a sock and safety pins to sewing elastic type bands together. Just depends on your level of DIY. Or if you are wanting to buy one there are a few trans companies out there that sell them.

For your stp I'm guessing you want more of a funnel type than say the spoon or nipple. Check out the go-girl (yes I get its called girl but the damn thing works well) or the Whiz. Both are good prices for a commercial product. Both are also easy enough to make into a stp packer. Again the same trans companies that make harness make these into a packer.

Honestly before you go buying anything read threw the treads here. Do some research and you will be way better off to know what will work for you.

Thanks. I have the binder size but can't seem to... arrange things right. I've explored youtube and I got a few ideas.

I have no idea how to fit those things in a binder as I'm lucky to be small in that area.

I have a go-girl I made into stp and use the transwear harness and LOVE it. I ended up trying a few different ones out before finding this one. TMI but I tend to pee to much to use the spoon on anything like it. The funnel just works for me. I love that its soft and moves with me when I sit and walk and stuff. Take but a second to adjust and go.

Hey Wesley, how did you make your gogirl into a STP? I have a packy and just got a gogirl and am curious. I hate the name, but you're right, so freakin easy to use and cheap! Score ;D

Easier for me to post pics than explain but I'll try till I can put pics up in a few.

I attached latex tubing to the end of the go-girl. I left the tubing kinda long to adjust it later. I did cut a small bit off the end to round out the opening from the slit it comes with. I heated up a long thin screw driver on my stove. Happen to have a gas one so it was easier to heat it. Than I very carefully made a hole in the packer.

Note on making the hole in the packer: The hot screw driver will go threw the packer VERY FAST. Run water threw the packer after to stop it melting. Start at the head and work to the back. That way hole is in the right place.

I than shoved the tubing threw the whole till the go-girl had about 1/2in into the packer. I than put the harness on and fiddled with the fit till it felt right. Where the extra tubing comes in. Find the sweet spot where the go-girl sits the way it should against you. Pull any extra tubing out the other end of the packer than trim.

Thanks man, that helps a lot. My packer actually already has a hole through it so I can skip that step. Just wasn't sure on the tubing and everything. I'd be interesting in seeing pics if you ever get a chance!

Just be sure tubing and go-girl are well attached. Than be sure you fit it in far enough. Those pics aren't in as far as should be more for showing you guys. Once together slip in harness and go. Very comfortable
