Title: Packer Malfunction
Post by: Jeatyn on December 18, 2012, 09:07:16 AM
I just realised I forgot to post about this, it happened around a week ago on the last day of college, where I am stealth.

So me and my classmates were walking to the bus station, when SUDDENLY I felt my packer dislodge and go rolling down the leg of my jeans. Sheer panic hit me but luckily I was wearing cuffed jeans and it got stuck in the cuff. I tried my best to walk extra carefully so it wouldn't fall out but it was raining really heavily; the packer was pulling my jeans down and dragging all up in the puddles.

I felt it starting to poke out of the cuff so I thought fast and said "hang on my laces are undone and getting soaked" - knelt down, magic trick'ed it up my sleeve and then slyly popped it into my pocket. I then walked the rest of the way with a soaking wet willy in my pocket praying that nobody asked to bum a cigarette, which were in the same pocket.

I made it to my bus without further incident where I could take it outta my pocket and pop it in my bag.

Crisis was averted, but oh my god I couldn't even imagine the awkward conversation that would have followed a fake penis rolling out of my jeans leg in front of my whole class.

I seriously don't see how I would have gotten myself out of that one unless the ground swallowed me up or a meteor hit the earth.

Anyone have any similar stories to share? :P How would you explain it?

Jeatyn,  That was some story, glad it turned out good in the end for you, fast thinking there is keep it from becoming a bad situation for you.  Do you hold your packer in place with a harness that broke?

I had this happen in a swimming pool. Probably the second-least popular type of floater in the pool that day. ;)

I'm cracking up! I had the same thing happen at the Mall when I first started living full time. I noticed it slipping but there was nothing I could really do. It slipped out the bottom of my track pants, I kicked it with the side of my shoe towards the wall, and kept on going. Haven't packed since.

Now THAT is hilarious. I wonder how many people saw it later and what they thought. And who finally picked it up, lol.

Great stories, lol.

I was in a mall once, and saw some security guards standing around watching a dildo vibrate across the floor, so I think if a packer fell out of my pants I'd just try to pull a Simon or pretend that it was already on the ground. I don't think too many people look at other's feet so no one would probably notice that it wasn't there already.

I'm a little confused about why packers are necessary. Do people really look that closely? I mean I guess if someone is rubbing up on your crotch they could notice but that seems like it would be really weird and invasive and even then one's first impulse wouldn't be "Maybe this man has typical female genitalia."

rofl, this was my original plan in the split second I had to think about it as it was rolling down, KICK IT AWAY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! xD

I personally feel it does make a difference, especially in tight jeans. It's hard to explain...if I could draw a picture it's be easier :P say for example when I sit down...without a packer my jeans and my stomach/thighs form a V shape, and it's glaringly obvious that something isn't there that should be (to me anyway, maybe I look at peoples crotches too closely, but that's a separate issue :P) and in tight jeans I am forever fearful of...sorry for the phrase...camel toe. Wearing a packer gives a little subtle bulge rather than a V shape.

I think many men wear packers just to feel more like a man. That is how it is with me, anyway. The thought of something there is just comforting, whether or not it makes an impact on the clothes you wear.

FTM's need packers for the same reasons MTF's need to tuck (and use forms)...for our own peace of mind (not having unwanted bits and/or having wanted bits). And yes, to keep people from guessing what's between our legs when we're wearing clothing that they may deem "inappropriate" for our perceived gender.

I've heard stories of MTF's losing a form or two during activities (dancing, bending over, etc)...just goes to show you may need a back-up securement device (or a good "OMG what's this on the ground?!?" voice... ;))

If I guy is wearing the right clothes I will notice the bulge. Personally, if I were to see a guy that did not have a bulge in the types of pants I normally see one in I would wonder about him. Maybe it's just me, but I look.  >:-)

If they're rubbery, then how about Southbounders?

I wear a prosthetic because it slightly helps manage my very horrible lower dysphoria. It helps me mentally to wear one, really. A bit of a comfortable solution until I can have lower surgery, anyway.

I had my packer fall out of my underwear once at work. I basically slipped into the bathroom and hid it in my jacket until the end of the day. I have a nice hoodie with some double lined hidden pockets, so it helped disguise the bulge haha. I don't pack and wear super loose boxer anymore because of that. A bit nerve-wracking at the time, but I think it's funny now. I kind of had to limp to the bathroom to keep it from falling out of my trousers. Whoops.

I'm glad it worked out in the end for you, that must have been horrifying at first. I wear boxer shorts and tight pants when packing, but am still paranoid about wearing in public like that without a harness.

Just secure your packer (unlike the people in this thread apparently) and you'll be fine.

I nearly lost my packer once during a marital arts class.  I was just using a jockstrap then and when I was wrestling on the floor it nearly got away from me.  No good.

These days, http://myspare.com/product/pete (http://myspare.com/product/pete)

Seriously you guys, this underwear is worth the investment.  Who can put a price on peace of mind?  I wear mine and never have a problem with disembodiment.   

However if you are using mr. limpy or the sailors pack you need to be very careful when removing it from the underwear to clean.  The packer will tear if you are not careful.  Mr. Right works very well with it.  Packman is to wide around the base of the penis to work. 

I just ordered the new peecock and I'm hoping that works out well.

Yeah I will admit I don't secure my packer :P I just shove it in my pants. I usually wear tight boxers but I was in a loose pair that day, clearly that was a mistake! The idea of a harness just sounds so uncomfortable  :-\

They are.  Or my homemade one is at least, major wedgie going on all day, feels like I'm wearing a thong or something.  I'm going to modify it when I find my thread to hopefully stop that though.

I almost lost my dick when going for a run.. I use a harness but its one i made myself and one of the straps tore. Luckily I live in the country and don't really have neighbors so i could just shove my hand in my pants to fix it. Though I did get some dirty looks from the cows.

And I pack because it eases my dysphoria. I wear it 24/7 even when no one's around. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make a difference to anyone else because it makes a difference to me.

I just wear it around, and I have worn it to trans events and stuff so I haven't been too worried. I pin the fly and shove the shaft into the "pocket" that I made out of the fly. I think it is pretty secure but I don't think I'd want to test this at work or something.

These are all pretty funny but kind of all make me feel a bit queazy.

Answer: there would be no conversation. Everyone would stare in silence, and the person with his/her head in the gutter would hold back laughter, forcing you to run away in embarrassment.

How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I once went to the level above "nip-slip" to the total "fake boob slip." Enough said.  :-\

The following story was related to me and comes from the girls side of the fence.

So, my friend Jena is one of those "health nuts" who runs every day and eats only organic greens, yoga, the whole 9th yards.

So, one summer morning while visiting her aunt in NY, Jena dons her her pink running outfit -which includes some breast forms- and goes for a run at central park. Half way through her run she notices a guy yelling at her and following..she panics and run faster towards a mounted policeman at the end of the park. The guy catches up to her as she is alerting the officer. The guy is out of breath and all he said is: "you drop this" and hands her a breast form. Now, the policeman roars with laughter as Jena thanks and apologizes the man.

HAHA. Yup. Similiar story.

It started pouring rain when I was walking back from my work study job. So I decided to run back to my dorm. As I was running, my dick just flopped right out of my pants and landed on the ground. I picked it up and kept running. I have no idea if anyone saw... lol oh well.

Oh yeah - this story is even better -

I was visiting my aunt for a few days and her wife was coming over for a visit. I put on some nice clothes I decided to leave my packer off for the day to give my skin a break. So her wife gets there and we were all sitting in the living room chatting when all of a sudden, my aunts dog (Molly) comes prancing into the living room with my packer dangling from her mouth. Ah. Fortuneately we all just had a good laugh. But if it was anyone but that aunt, i would have been mortified.

Ah, the joys of having a loose cockles.

It's sometimes a bit awkward when I'm working and I get this feeling something's not completely right down there. The packer's not escaping or anything, I wear enough tight underwear to prevent that but when it starts doing somersaults and ends up basically upside-down and I really need to fix it, it can be a pain to find a little more secluded place in the construction site so I can start digging my pants. XD

Those situations were even more awkward when I was still at school and my friends didn't know I was using a packer (they knew about my transitioning otherwise). :'D

I once had a breast form slip out, but it was only one, so I looked all lopsided afterwards. I was at a gym and I was doing some squats. The breast form slid up, but I didn't notice. A bit later, it just plopped on the floor, and I didn't notice. People were staring at me, and when I finally noticed, I just ran the heck out of there... with one boob.  :-\ Needless to say, laughter ensued.

I use the Pete Briefs, for the most part.  I have them on right now.  I also own the jock strap for reasons.  Plus I have the Tomboi (awful name aside) for playing.  I assure you that packer will not move during your martial arts training.  It remains perfectly in place no matter how high you can lift your leg.

As an aside, they are working reasonably well with the Peecock 2 Gen that I just bought.  Although I'm still working with finding just the right positioning.
