Longer STP?

So right now I just use a medicine spoon, which works great for me.  but I need it to me long.
Like at least 3 inches longer would be nice.  otherwise it's just not long enough and ends up dripping on my pants.

I was looking at the Travel Mate, does anyone know how long it is in inches?  I could compare it to my medicine spoon to see if it's long enough.

Also, for anyone who has ordered a STP or packer, how discrete was the packing?  This is why I only have a medicine spoon, because I bought it in person. 
but if I have to order it online, I don't want the mailing package to say anything on it that would make my family ask me about it.

I was really glad how discrete the package was when I ordered my binder.

You could get some tubing and plumbers tape at the hardware store to mod it. Or just get another spoon and superglue a section of it onto the original. Test at home first.

I kind of did something similar already because I melted some of a medicine spoon onto mine, it gave me about 1 1/2 inches more, but it's still not enough for me.  And, it took me two tries to melt the plastic just right, and I don't like playing with fire anyways.  So I'd just prefer to buy a nice, neat one.
if I used tape, I'd worry about leaking.  I'd want it to be a perfect seal, like it is when it's one soild piece.

I'm not sure where you're from so I haven't posted a link, but I got my STP off ebay, for about £7 including post and packaging, and because it's from ebay it just comes in like, a brown package thing, completely discrete with your name on the front.
I bought the whizz freedom I think it's called, its about 4 inches long, with a bit that sits against your body making it easy to use, I've never had 'spillages' :) you can also buy extension tubing if you want extra length :)
So yeh, just ebay it and have a look :) It's nice and bendy so it can easily be used in a packy or folded in your pocket, there's some youtube videos about it too if you want to see

Hope this helps

travelmate is 6 inches long


I use gorilla glue to attach to tubing. Not pretty, but is holding up fine so far.
