Anyone have experience with Mango Products' pack-and-pee device--the one that straps on with a harness and has a urethral tube and you can use it at a urinal? It looks great and I want one but I don't know how well it works. Does anyone here have one?

I don't have one but I have heard a lot of negative reviews by ftms, saying that it doesn't seem to fit well.  The Pissin Passin Packer from djknowsdicks.com is what I'm going to try first, it's cheaper and comes in more sizes and designs and has a bunch of testimonials on the site...  might not be totally unbiased but they showed negative ones too and they seemed to be mostly issues with size and not functionality.

I wish that I could remember the brand name... I tried such a device.  And it did not work.  I wet all over myself. Very little of the stream ended up where the device pointed.  I had hoped to take it with me back packing and on road trips where it would be really convenient..... you know, those times when you need to pee in a cup? 

Now, my anatomy is not quite the same as yours, being engineered you know.

You can get a Travel Mate for $5.95.
A lot cheaper than Mango and the like, and performs the same function.

I've heard mixed reviews about the Mango. It seems to depend a lot on your anatomy. One way of testing it out cheaply is to try a baby's medicine spoon. It's got the same end that a Mango uses.

I've also heard mixed reviews on DJ's STP. Probably the same reason. It also uses a medicine spoon, I think. but a different one than the Mango.

Let us know if you do try it out. I still have the medicine spoon in my bathroom and haven't tried it yet. A travelmate works well, but is a bit bulky to carry around and you certainly couldn't use a urinal with it.

I have a medicine spoon that only works sometimes, and have a Travelmate arriving soon to try.  If the tip of that works better, I might get another and try to modify my normal Mango with it.

Also, neither the mango nor dj's uses an actual medicine spoon, it's something specially made and supposedly shaped better.

The DJ one looks better and is cheaper--thanks, Mikko (can I call you Will?), I think I'll try that out. My mom's giving me the money for it--what a great mommy!

'Course you can call me Will.

Let me know how if it works for you, I've got my eye on that one too.

BTW, does anyone know of a hard packer that isn't too big to wear in everyday situations under clothes? A lot of them are just freakin' huge...

I've heard good things about:

http://www.transitionprosthetics.com/Intro.html
But this is his second go around in business and the first time he wound up taking a lot of people's money and not coming up with anything. I don't know if he's made it right with those people.

Dennis

I've seen the Transitional Prosthetics stuff but it's a bit expensive. Has anyone tried Bendy from Early2Bed?

I have the dj's packer, and yeah, it works... after some getting used to. It looks really realistic, and it's comfortable to wear. I'd go with that... I checked out the mango one before, but it didn't look the slightest bit real, and it's about 15 bucks more. I'd go with the dj's one... and if you have any problems, as I did, dj is a pretty cool guy, and will always respond to emails to help you out.

For those who don't need the packin' function, there's also the Freshette®©™ (which you can google).  'Targeting' at the input end seems to be less precise and fidgety, as it appears to have a fairly large shaped and contoured funnel.

But, ANYBODY can stand to pee, as long as it's in the shower

I'm waiting on a DJ's. I have a soft packer from Early To Bed. It is great, and comfortable.

Andrew, trust me, you don't want a hard packer in your pants all the time. Get the soft packy from Early To Bed, and then a hard one for "other" things. The ones made of cyberskin are the most realistic for the reciever.

Addendum;

The factory model spends 98% of its time flaccid (not to be confused with tumescent)  Go soft for daily wear.

Cyberskin?  I'll have to remember that when I choose dilators...

I don't think it's that high of a number for a normal male Karen.

Packy and Bendy look pretty good--I think I'll get Packy for every day and Bendy for *cough* *unintelligible*.

I saw bad reviews on bendy. There just happened to be an establishment where I was able to go into and look and "feel" the ones for "activity". Must be cyberskin.
