Title: Silicone FTM prosthesis
Post by: Ms Bev on June 19, 2007, 02:05:50 AM
I don't know if this is new to any of you guys or not, but stumbling around the internet, I fell upon this site that may be of interest?

http://www.ftmprosthetics.com/index.htm

They sure look like I used to look at one time, heh heh.

If I wasted your time, sorry.

Hey thanks for that Bev thats really useful!  ;D

Wishy basically the currency converter rate for GBP to USD is currently 1.98729. So basically we get everything at half price if we order from america!

This is a great site for easy and quick conversions http://www.xe.com/ucc/

Hope this helps Wishy!

Sorry wishy I didn't look on that page correctly this site is from Australia so the convertion rate is 1 GBP = 2.35464 AUD which is even better!

So if something is 1400 AU Dollars then its 594.66 Pounds!

However Im sure that Ive seen them cheaper somewhere else..... however I cant remember where?!? He He

Yer I know tell me about it thats like half of my wages gone already :(

Yeah, they're expensive as heck, but they get great reviews and they've been around for a while. The other guy who was doing them cheaper apparently was not consistent. A bunch of people paid and never got product. Others got faulty prosthetics and never got them fixed or their money back.

But the Australian ones are good I hear. Thanks for posting the link, Bev.

I paid $250 each for high quality silicone masectomy forms, before I grew my own. So the price isn't really out of line and these are attachable. These also look very realistic.

Hope you guys don't mind me popping in :)

These look great! I'm going to badger my mom for one! (You will not believe how great a mother I have. Truly.) So this guy isn't a ripoff? Is there anyone doing them cheaper? Are they consistent in quality?

How are these things in comparison to something you strap on.
Excuse me too guys, but that really is incredible.
Title: Re: Silicone FTM prosthesis
Post by: Andrew on June 19, 2007, 10:09:26 PM
They really do look incredible. Veins, skin, wrinkles, the way they hang...everything. I talked to my mom and she's thinking of buying me one. If all goes well with the surgery, I might just be a complete guy with one of those. Showers, locker rooms, all that...cool! Expensive, but they're not just a toy or a gimmick. This baby's the real deal.

Did you see the comment on the "dual" one where the guy's wife told him she wouldn't be able to tell whether it was real if they met anonymously and she didn't know? That's something to take with you, there...

QuoteWow, I'm impressed.   ummm...well, are the prices in Australian dollars?  If so, I did some calculations using this online currency calculator and came out with U.S. $1269 for *one of those*, does this sound correct?  Expensive, huh?  They look very convincing though.  Okay bye now...*giggles* 

tink

As I told my mother...you're the expert!

Quite the testimonial. Still, I can't get one by July. What to do.

These are seriously amazing.  I always wanted one that could glue on but thought it was impossible.  I think I'm going to get the Dual when I finally pick one.  It seems more convenient than taking on and off the flaccid/erected ones.  I have about $3,000 saved up for college tuition money, but I'm hoping to get a full ride with scholarships so I can spend all of the money I save (I will probably have about $12,000 by the time I graduate if I keep working the way I am) on hormones, an amazing prosthesis, and possibly top surgery?

That would be GREAT.  But if not, surely I can get enough scholarships to have an extra $2000.00 laying around :)

You guys think I should get the Dual?  Which would you guys get?

I'm also wondering about skin tone...I'm wondering if I should order the sample? What ya think?

Call me crazy, but I find this almost better than surgery...
Title: Re: Silicone FTM prosthesis
Post by: Jay on June 20, 2007, 12:26:41 PM
I think you should order the samples before purchasing I think the samples where like $20 each. So i would order them first to see if they suit you! God Damn you have loadza money! he he! I wish I did :(

Given what i've heard about the surgey for guys, this does indeed look much more promising! lol

And yeah, i'd go for the dual one, thats what i want. And certainly a good idea to check out the samples

Yeah, but with shipping to the US, it would be about $85.00 just to see the samples, then I would have to send it back. 

I'm pretty positive that I would need the "2 1/2" shade.  The ones that come after it are just too dark, and the ones before it are either to pale, pink, or yellowish/brown.  I'm just really debating between Shade 2 and 2 1/2.  I'm white but I'm a naturally dark white person.

It's like I have decided on 2 1/2, but to pay $1,200.00 American Dollars for something is a lot of money.  It might be good to put in just $150.00 to make sure I like it.  But it would really suck if I got the samples and I was right lol.

Looks like everyone's getting excited about this new thang. :laugh: Who need surgery? I mean, whatever we have now has enough erotic sensation for whatever we want to do -- it just isn't the right shape. The prosthesis is for locker rooms and possibly het sex. Sounds great to me!

I'd definitely get the samples. A few extra bucks could save you a lot of regret if it turns out not to match your skin tone.

Hey everyone has anyone actually used this site before? Are they real and not rip offs?

Plus if any of you guys use mangos what size would you say is the best?
Title: Re: Silicone FTM prosthesis
Post by: Dennis on June 26, 2007, 08:31:56 AM
Nick's had transitional male for quite some time. Although there've been disagreements with him and various members of the community, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been about the commercial side of his business.

Unless you're six feet tall and heavy set, I would stay away from larger packers. I'm 5'5" and a 3.5 inch packer can be a bit obvious at times. Anything bigger is going to make you look like you're trying to look like a porn star.

ha ha! I did think about that. Thanks Dennis I will be processing my order tonight with him. I find that he is the cheapest around.

I just hope I can get used to using it!

if you're gonna get one and make such a big purchase, might as well get the right one and order the sample.

good luck jaston

Now, if only they'd make one you can pee through and have sex with. A little complicated, no?

I could've sworn they had something like that. Don't remember where I heard or saw that though.

Does anyone know what material the STUD is made from? My first packer was Dj's PPP and I've had that for like fourish years and it's made from Cyberskin. Needless to say it's in very sad shape. I just got a Mr. Right that is made from VixSkin and I highly prefer it over anything made from Cyberskin.
