Title: Is it better to pay extra and just get a silicone packer
Post by: nickm1492 on February 09, 2012, 10:03:13 PM
Hygiene wise it seems a lot better. And I have seen a lot of reviews saying that their packers don't last very long or that you have to put stuff on it to keep it "maintained". Plus they don't look very lifelike. At this point I am pretty much decided on which binder to get. In case anyone is looking for a binder, underworks has a new one. It looks awesome. I think it's the 998.

Anyway, I LOVE the bella packer. I can use it for packing and for penetration. And it looks amazing. Hopefully I shall be ordering it in the next week!!!! Another thing is, I don't want to have to get condoms lol So I suppose I'd be saving money like that.


Anyone ever get this packer before? Or shop from http://mytulip.com/index.php? (http://mytulip.com/index.php?)

Hmm this site is a new one for me.  I've considered a silicone packer as you're right in that they tend to look more realistic.  I've heard that they are a lot denser and heavier than cyberskin or thermal gel packers which is a strike IMHO.  Also you generally need to maintain any packer, regardless of material, with cornstarch or powder in order to keep it feeling realistic.

Silicone packers, unless they cost hundreds of dollars, are NOT as realistic as cyberskin packers (unless you're referring to the cotton candy pink ones). The silicone prosthetics which you guys might be thinking of are gel-filled and made from different silicone than the Mr.Right or the Bella. The latter ones look like a single piece of uni-colored plastic, they're heavy, they don't give at all, they don't pass a grope test, they often don't sit well in your pants...to sum it up, i was thoroughly disappointed. The only pro i can really think of is that they can be sterilized by boiling them in water.
A cyberskin packer can last you a long time (two years of daily use are definitely possible).
If you've seen the peecock, the Mr.Right and the Bella look pretty much the same (same weird sheen, colors not looking natural), except for the hollow part of course.
