Hello ladies, gentlemen and those somewhere in between!
I'm FTM, I've been on T for over three years and I've starting wearing my packer daily for about 3/4 of a year now. So far, it's been (mostly) great. I've had some embarrassing (and slightly amusing) mishaps where my penis (I think of it as my genitals, despite it being a prosthetic) falls into the "leg" of my boxer-briefs (I learned I can't wear briefs anymore, 'cause it will fall out of them, for some reason). and moments when it looks like I have a raging erection because my dick is awkwardly shoved in my pants. So far, I'm really enjoying NOT having to stuff my pants with socks. I pass like a boss and I'm pretty comfortable changing (down to my underwear and undershirt, which is over my binder) in front of other people and I'd consider myself confident in most social situations (the exception being the common misconception of despite being FTM, I have NO idea how to court women, but that's another story). My dick doesn't look exactly realistic sometimes, especially when I'm just in my underwear. That, and I'm terrified that it's going to FALL OUT of my underwear.
Other bits of pertinent information: I'm very physically active, and among other things, I am a dancer, so not only do I have to wear pants (tights) similar to yoga-pants material, but I have to be able to move and do crazy stretches. I also tend to wear tight/form-fitting pants outside of the dance studio (mostly skinny jeans). I'm fairly skinny (I wear sizes 30-32) and I'm 5'8". I'm an actor, and I will be studying theater in college, so I will NEED to change in front of other people without them being suspicious.
Anyway, I'm going away to college in about a month, so I imagine my living quarters will be a little closer (I'm in a quad for three other guys) and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for making the bulge (in underwear or tights) look more realistic. Where does one place the packer? How does one keep it in place so they're sure it can't move? I've tried wearing two pairs of underwear before, but that got old, uncomfortable and suspicious quickly. Any tips?
