Hi guys. So I'm looking to get myself the whole outfit here and would really appreciate some info/advice.

I'm 100% decided on the Mr. Right packer (hygienic, not too large for my build and in the right price range, also hear it doesn't wear as much as the limpy ones and isn't quite as floppy = perfect). However, I already know that the harness made specially for it simply would not work with me. So, I'm considering the Spareparts Pete Commando for it instead. However, I have a very unusual fat-storage with my body to where, even prior to the exogenous T, it all gets dumped in my stomach and below the naval and almost nowhere else... so, measuring for these things isn't quite straightforward for me. Pictures of them on mannikins can only tell you so much, so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me around where I need to measure (if the band sits right on the 'pubic bone' or higher/lower?). I don't wear "low-risers", so I can't even go off of my normal unders either. Different sizes based on where that band sits you know (Grrr!).

Also, I'm curious to know if anyone's used these Pete's with the Mr. Right... if they work well together or not? That's one of the reasons I'm going for the "commando" type instead of the other one like it that doesn't have it hanging out. Going to wear it with my proffered Champion boxer-briefs anyway. But, because the uh... jewels are a fair bit larger on this packer than the others, just don't want there to be a problem and obviously not be able to exchange them for something else lol.

Oh and um, would it be desirable to get them slightly smaller to ensure they're not trying to slide down? Or are they fairly true-to size? I have next to no hind-end so even my pants like to pull that on me, just thinking ahead here...


And then there's the binder (Underworks of course). I'm wondering if anyone would be able to guesstimate (or else knows for certain) what the compression difference is between the 974's (what I have been using for two years, one in Medium -definitely doesn't hold anything anymore- and the other Small, which still works somewhat), and the 998 and the 997. I'm looking for one that has some more power than the 974's which work out very well until they stretch out. If it helps, I was a 44D (I say was because I honestly don't know or care anymore), wear Large/X Large regular shirts (I'm anywhere between them, stupid fat distribution).

Also, I don't want this new one to be unbearably tight either so that's why I'm asking about the compression difference of those three (the Small in the 974 worked out very well and didn't murder me before it gave a bit). I need that info to decide if I'm going for the Small again or the Medium in either of the other two that I'm hoping have some stronger binding to them).

Sorry to double but...

I think I've decided on the 997. That said, under measures at 45" and over measures at 50". So, do I get the Large or do I get the Medium? Is it pretty much a "don't do it" thing to get this particular binder "too small", like I did with the 974's? I see on Youtube a fair few saying to not do it, that it causes issues?

I was the same size then as I am now, and I got away with using the 974 in the Small. So I should be able to get by with a Medium in the 997 right? I'd like to get it anticipating that it will eventually stretch out and loose some of it's power, and just endure it until it gives way some. But I don't want to do that if it will be unbearable (the 974 in Small, even brand new, wasn't even close to unbearable so if you follow my thinking here, perhaps that'll help someone answer).

Really need some help here guys. Thank you.
