Title: New STP from TSW
Post by: WorkerBeast on May 29, 2013, 10:34:07 AM
Hey Guys,
I am not sure if you have heard of these packers made by TSW, but they all have the names of poisonous snakes. If not check it out.

They are coming out with an STP in the Viper, Python and Copperhead which is cool because I imagine that one could adhere them to the body. It cost less than the 4'' peecock but maybe a little more than your "run of the mill" medicine spoon/nipple stp($80.00). I plan to try it out after Transwear stops charging an extra $3.00 for anything other than Caucasian. Lol.

I think the in-built reservoir in these packers is a disaster waiting to happen.  Though it looks fairly simple to run a tube through with a cup, nipple or medicine spoon-based alternative...

Didn't like mine and gave it away. It wasn't an STP. But the packer which was the smaller one was supposed to be silicone. I don't know what it was, perhaps silicone foam, but it was almost as sticky as a Mr Limpy and not nearly as nice as a Sailor. It is not a silicone like some of the more expensive ones. I only paid $10 and donated mine to a young transguy.

Perhaps. I think it is hard to definitely know until it has been handled, besides everyone's body is different . Personally I am not sure I want to pee out of a plastic tube. At some point it might be nice to just stick and go.

Was it the Gecko? I am interested in the Python because of the option of 3D balls.  They say it is platinum silicon.

Gecko?? Anyway perhaps it was because it was a second. I thought there was a different reason.

We may not be talking about the same packers.

Just as a note, the TSW Packers are the gecko, copperhead, python, viper, and anaconda. They are made of 100% platinum silicone. If you have a TSW prosthetic then it should nto become sticky like a mr limpy. It may get some lint on it, more in the areas where silicone bubbles may be, but it will not discolor or attract lint the same way a cyberskin packer would. Also, unless you bought it from someone else, they do not sell for $10 as the base price of the gecko is $15, the rest are much higher then that. So i have a feeling that this "$10" packer you are talking about is not the same thing.

I got one for 10 bucks when they were selling misfires. The other person probably got theirs the same way. Mine was sticky too, although not nearly as much as a mr limpy. I'm not sure where people get this idea that silicone is not sticky at all. The TSW ones get sticky. Mr right gets sticky. Even my reelmajik packer gets sticky. they collect lint. It's just a very minor amount in comparison to cyberskin.

Well if they were misfires then it is possible that the texture and quality was sub-standard.

Yeah possibly. I'd describe it the same way. I don't have Mr. Right but I have the RM basic packer and it can get sticky. Even LJ gets sticky on occasion. It's not much as you say.

I pre-ordered one today even though I couldn't really afford it.  It looks like what I've been waiting for... I really want an STP that I can actually use at urinals without feeling dumb about sticking some plastic thing inside my pants instead of pulling out a dick, and with everything I've heard about the medicine spoons and nipples, I'm not sure if I could use those.  It's been my dream to be able to pee standing up since I was little, so hopefully this will help that come true. 

I got the python one because it's supposed to lay flatter than the viper... and I don't want a huge bulge.  I guess it's supposed to come in gecko at some point, too but that isn't up on the website yet.

Well when you get it please post a review with pictures.  I have really been wanting the Python for a long time.

A couple interesting facts about these.
1) There is a soft, and a firm, version of them. the firm allows the packer to be used as a 3-in-1 type thing
2) The manufacturer is now offering hand painted heads on ALL TSW prosthetics and STPS. So if you want a lil more realism to your packer through differentiation between the head and shaft colors, this is a big thing for you.
3) Most places dont charge extra for the different skin tones. So keep looking around at other places that sells these items because chances are that the other places dont charge extra for the skin tones.
4) Tranzwear does not allow for the new hand painted head option.
5) If you dont like funnel-like STPs such as the Fenis, Peecock, and Go Girl, then this STP is not recommended for you.

If you have any questions about these STPs feel free to PM me, i probably have the answer, or i can easily get it for you.

I hope that this helps you guys in deciding about this STP

does anyone have the gecko?? im really interested in it because i think its the only one light enough that it'll actually work with adhesive
Title: Re: New STP from TSW

No, but I hear that there is a gecko and a mini gecko. I have been fishing around trying to find reviews and there does not seem to be much.

There is not a "gecko" and "mini gecko" These are the ones available
There used to be two main wholesalers of these products Bullet Briefs, and TG Warehouse For Men. TG was then sold, and the new owner is in the middle of merging all of the products to Bullet Briefs so that everything is in one place. For some bizarre reason, bullet briefs has two products with different names, that are actually the same the Mini Gecko, and Gecko. They are the same price, same size, exact same product. Im assuming that the mini gecko is what they used to have available and now with the merger they are just bringing everything over and then are gonna adjust things. The other thing i have noticed is that some stores have inaccurate product pictures. For instance tranzwear has a picture of the copperhead for their Gecko product. This new store Brosepho Tranz Gear has a picture of the Gecko, for their Viper product. This may because of the mix up that is happening as Bullet Briefs is going through this merger. TLP doesnt have this problem because we bought from TG aand bullet briefs, where as i think these other places just bought from bullet briefs so that would explain the chaos in their products
I hope this info helps with some of the confusion

I personally own the gecko, and though i havent tried it with medical adhesive, this model is made SPECIFICALLY for use with medical adhesive. It is very light and should work pefectly. Aside from the medical adhesive, i think that the gecko is an amazing packer. I would prefer if the gecko had a larger brother (the other models are not designed the same as this one is) but it is still one of my favorite packers. It has an amazing feeling to it that is much closer to a flaccid penis than anything else i have felt. It also doesnt really get sticky like how cyberskin packers do which is nice.

Actually there is a gecko and mini gecko, the mini gecko is supposed to have smaller balls.
That's awesome to hear! Do you think if i used it with adhesive it wouldn't look like I have a boner? Cause usually with smaller packers that's what ends up happening.

There isnt a gecko and mini gecko. There is only one Gecko product, no matter what the retailers are telling you there is only one gecko, coming from Ty Warrick the owner of TSW and the manufacturer of these prosthetics. There isnt anything that has smaller or bigger balls. There is just one Gecko.

It shouldnt make you look like you have a boner. This prosthetic doe not stick straight out the way cheap packers generally do, it actually lays over the balls and it is soft enough where even if it sticks out a smidge, you can easily just press it down and it will stay down.
