Good grief! Charlie Brown always said "I got a rock."
Some poor kid walked home and said "I got a _ _ _ _"

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."

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.

All the stories in this whole thread; reasons why I'm hesitant to start packing despite the fact I want that bulge there!

I'm so very torn right now :/

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.

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 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 have a pair of those packing underwear and believe me, they are worth the money. I'm going to buy a three pack pretty soon.

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.

Miniar once told a great story about packing with rice...

The ones in the link Squirrel698 posted look comfortable

You guys, I find the absolute cheesiest elastic harness from Stand to Urimate is awesome. Totally cheap, and prevents accidents like the above stories      (entertaining as they were!).

You can barely tell it's there.

Safety first, men!! 

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.

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.

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. 

Dude your story made me laugh so hard, you could not make ->-bleeped-<- feces like this. I know that now you also find the whole situation comical but I am sure, it was not so funny when it happen

I was in a mall once, and saw some security guards standing around watching a dildo vibrate across the floor

I almost cried laughing.

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

This has officially brightened my day. So sorry that happened, but I'm laughing so hard I think I peed, hahahahaha!!!!

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.
