Just a random question I thought of. I don't often pack and I don't have a proper 'packy' yet, so I usually use a sock or something if I do XD However, my 'strangest' thing would now have to be a rainbow coloured hacky-sack that has a big heart on the front with a smiley face.
lol
It worked quite well, never moved around much cause of the weight and looked rather realistic within the confines of my jocks.
Rolls of cloth from the rag bag held together with Scotch tape. It was as anatomically correct as I could get it, meaning shaft and balls. I was 9, what can I say?? LOL
Jay
A packer.
Ooooh, strange...
Once I used one of those koosh balls. The projections (those wierd stringy things that make it seem like it is covered in some kind of hair) stuck out from the sides of my underwear and it looked like I dyed my pubes rainbow, not that I had any at that tender age.
aw man I loved koosh balls!
Meh. I used toilet paper when I was younger. I use a sock now. I don't imagine I'll use a packer any time soon.

Because a $12 packer is cost prohibitive? 99% of the time, no one knows your packing. The exception is/are the person/people you allow to actually feel your crotch.
I also used toilet paper when I was little and of course the classic socks. :P

No.
Because I'm afraid it will move around and such. I'd like to actually see one of these in my hands, think about how it's going to work etc. before I buy one, possibly ending up getting rid of it. And actually, yes, $12 is a lot of money when you have no income.
I already do pack. I don't see a major difference between a sock and a packer if no one's going to be touching it.
A guinea pig, but it moved around too much ;)

I just spit my drink out, thanks. Tell me you're joking, Den. :laugh:
I'd never willingly stick an animal in my pants. I've had a mouse crawl into my pant leg and that was the end of it. I didn't freak, since I saw it coming, but did it feel weird.

Yeah, a little. Elwood's comment made that pop into my head.

Weirdest? A glasses case, I think. On my old Rocky Horror cast, I would occasionally play Rocky and needed to "bulk up" for the role, as it were.

Very true. I'm the only one who touches it (in private, of course!!) and I'm anal about the fact that it has to FEEL REAL. So a sock won't cut it for me. The $12 packys are the best packers I've found so far as far as texture/feel goes, esp. for the price. Warm and powdered (cornstarch) they feel like real skin and the real deal. The 3.5" doesn't move in tighty whities; I don't think that one has moved even in looser briefs or boxer briefs. The 5.5" has flimsy balls and does tend to move if your shorts are loose.
Probably TMI but I wish I had that much info before I spent way too much on packers I'll never use.
Jay
So you've felt a real penis for comparison? I ask merely for information.
Since I don't touch my crotch on a regular basis, I don't really see a need for it to feel real. At least not yet. Sure, when transition starts, then I'll invest in a nicer pack. Until then, I really don't have a need.
Also, I don't want it to be "pasted" to me, which is what it sounds like most people do. So I don't think it will work for me. I want something that sits in there, doesn't stretch the hell out of my underwear, and isn't sticky or "cornstarched" to my body. I particularly don't want any food in my pants.
Now, I don't mind natural movement. What I mind is things like it switching positions, crawling up my thigh, or worse, falling out of my pants.

Yes, I was married to a bio-male for 15 years.

It just sits there. The powder or cornstarch (of which most powders are made out of) just absorbs moisture. Lots of packys are kind of sticky/tacky after you wash them. The powder makes them smooth and soft. The smaller packers don't stretch your underwear; just create a realistic bulge. That underwear bulge is usually not visible when you're wearing pants. Some packers can be adhered, but those are the expensive prosthetics and not the cheapy packers we're talking about here.

So then it isn't attached, or if it is attached, is attached well.
The cheapy packers just stay put by pressure of your shorts; they are not attached at all. I'm talking about the cheapy $12 packers. They don't adhere. They sit there, wedged in, like your socks do.
The expensive prosthetics use a medical adhesive to adhere them.
Jay
But... I don't wear tight shorts. @_@;
Ah, but I wedge my sock at a weird angle. I'm just not sure if this would work.
I believe there is straps for holding them in place right?
there are some that you can buy, but i just use a shoestring and hairtie.
Yes they do sell harnesses. I have one but don't use it. I should get used to it so I can wear boxers. I also have a jock strap.
Jay
My ex-partner's wallet...for about five minutes. He wanted it back. He thought I was just messing about. He didn't KNOW.
But, no, really, it was perfect. It was well broken in, it had a nice curved contour because he always put it into his pocket the same way, and it looked completely real. I kept checking myself out in the mirror. It looked fabulous. Of course, I was skinnier then. Nowadays, people are more likely to notice my (&%^% chest before they get as far down as my crotch.
Where can you get the basic packer? The last time I was interested in this sort of thing, the Internet still wasn't a great place for shopping (yeah, I know, that dates me). All I saw were some ads in the FTMI Newsletter, but I haven't subscribed to that in a while.
:laugh: socks & toilet paper :laugh:

Babeland has one for about $12 that works well. I got mine from there and their delivery was excellent and timely. Although the UPS guy did deliver it to my mother's house next door, which led to some awkward moments. They had declared it as rubber tubing for customs. Luckily my mother doesn't know that there are no computer parts that would be described as rubber tubing.
Just checked the Babeland site and I only see the $55 one, Mr. Right, at the moment. From what I've heard, the $12 one works just as well as the $55 one, so if you can find the $12 one around, you might as well not spend the extra.
As far as harnesses, there's an excellent one from Aslan leathers that is hardly noticeable when you're wearing it. Can't use it for an STP, but it works for packing:

Also, the transitional male site has some gear, packers and holders.
Dennis
The one in my drawer is an old sock with holes in it, stuffed with pieces I cut off from an old sports bra, tied together with hair ties. :D
I keep it around my waist with shoelace
hmm i guess i've never packed. never realized that before.
Thanks for the info and the link, Dennis. I have heard of Transitional Male, but I forgot all about it. In fact, there was a lot of stuff that I "conveniently" forgot about until just recently. This makes me realize how truly successful I've been in avoiding my issues...

Sweet. I'll probably invest in one (if they aren't too obvious and show through my clothes, haha).

Good God, are they really purple? When I said I wanted a purple strap on I was joking!
You know those long stress squashy...thingies? One of them when i was probably about 10 lol.
now, i use a sock which isnt exactly comfortable lol.
I hardly feel the sock. It might be the way you've got it folded. I use the short ones, so that it isn't bulky and bumpy. I fold it really nice, tuck it into itself so that it keeps it's shape. "Sock Origami."

I haven't had a chance to order my $12 packy yet, but I felt like packing today (I usually don't do it). So for about an hour, I had a sock rolled in metallic duct tape pinned to my underpants. I had to take it out because I was afraid my parents would notice, but it was great fun.
I've done socks, toilet paper... a washcloth once, all bunched up...
Once I took a condom, and stuffed it full with play-doh.
That was an adventure. Hell, I might do it again...
Who wants to send me condoms? Maybe I'll get mom to buy 'em haha ^_^
I use a pair of thin panties rolled up. It works very well actually, doesn't move around since I wear briefs that are designed for girls, but look exactly like guys briefs. :P

LOL thats what I did my second time, though have only dared to do it inside so far. First time it was the trimmings from my binder. Some reason just feeling something setting there seems almost natural though lol despite what is there isn't lol
