TransGuys.com’s inaugural product review takes an in-depth look at three different FTM packers: The Packy by Fleshlight, Mr. Right by Vixen Creations, and David by Lola.Jake.
Packing is a pretty personal thing, and not all guys looks for the same qualities in a dick. For that reason, The Packer Showdown didn’t set out to find a “Best in Show” FTM packer. Instead, it simply highlights each of the packers’ pros and cons and lets readers to decide what’s important to them.
The Packy
The Packy is a generic packer that you’ll also find under the names of Soft Pack, Mr. Limpy and Mister Softie. It’s made from a realistic, proprietary elastomer (elastic polymer) blend called Real Feel Super Skin™ (aka Soft Skin, Cyberskin.) Regardless of the model and material name, these are all the same product, manufactured by Fleshlight. The Packy is available in four sizes (3.5″, 5″, 6.5″ and 8.5″ length, and all with 4″ girth) but sadly, only one color (pink.) Previously, tan and chocolate were also available, and some stores may still carry these discontinued models.
The Packy can be worn with a harness, or in tight briefs without a harness. It works particularly well with the FTM Solutions strap. It’s a little too small for the Aslan Packing Strap: because the balls don’t perfectly fill the Aslan pouch, the shaft bends over the front strap and eventually leads to wear of the packer. Despite this less than perfect fit, the Aslan is still a comfortable option.
At 3.5″ and just 5.75 oz, the small, lightweight Packy provides a comfortable and discreet bulge. The shape and detail of the glans is quite good, given the budget price. The symmetrical balls are detailed with creases but are not very realistic looking (the word “novelty” rings true here.) The material is sticky, but with a dusting of potato starch or baking soda becomes very soft. This inexpensive packer is a great choice for making a STP device with.
On the downside, The Packy’s squeeze is a little too squishy. The color can be inconsistent model to model: sometimes quite pale, sometimes overly pink. Also, there’s no variation in color between the shaft and glans, and the balls are flat-backed. You can find The Packy for under $15 at several outlets, but don’t expect it to last forever. The soft material can degrade pretty quickly, with regular use leading to small cracks within a couple of months.
The Packy offers great bang for your buck. It’s a comfortable packer to wear and creates a bulge that won’t cause unwanted attention.
The Packy wins the TransGuys.com Best Head Award!

Mr. Right
Mr. Right is a VixSkin™ silicone packer made by Vixen Creations. It’s available in pink, caramel and chocolate colors, and comes in one size: 6″ long x 4″ girth. Most descriptions of Mr. Right state the length as 4.5″ – 5.5″, but base to tip, my model comes in at 6″. There was a previous model that was smaller and softer.
Mr. Right weighs in at 7.5 oz and fits perfectly in the Aslan Packing Strap (which was designed for Mr. Right.) It’s a little too heavy in the FTM Solutions strap. The material is less sticky than The Packy, but still benefits from a light dusting of potato starch to make it softer. Mr. Right can be modified into a STP device, but the longer shaft and higher cost make it less suitable than The Packy for this purpose.
The bulge is more obvious than that of The Packy, due to the extra length, but not offensively so. The detail of the shaft is nice, but with Mr. Right it’s all about the balls: the detail of the scrotum, with it’s two differently shaped and positioned balls, is superior looking to anything else this reviewer has come across. Plus, the firmer silicone makes for a great squeeze.
The “pink” Mr. Right that I reviewed was more of a greyish, beige tone, and it doesn’t look realistic. The bland shape and size of the glans further suffers from being the same lifeless color as the shaft. Those fantastic balls are sadly flat-backed (though if you wear Mr. Right with the Aslan Packing Strap you wouldn’t feel round ones anyway.)
Mr. Right is a mid-market packer that’s durable and should satisfy guys looking for a mid-sized bulge. While the aesthetics of the cock itself are lacking, Mr. Right’s balls pack some serious punch.

David
David is a premium packer made exclusively by Lola.Jake, a 2-person owned company based in California. In 2007, their parent company Too Sticky bought out PNP Prosthetics and launched Lola.Jake as a manufacturer of custom-made FTM prosthetics. They corresponded with trans men for more than a year about the development of their product line, and continue to collaborate with customers on new features, such as 3D balls and foreskin.
All Lola.Jake models are made of a blend of five platinum silicone materials, the premium in prosthetic manufacturing. Each prosthetic is hand poured into a mold, cured for several hours, then carefully painted with details such as a darker glans and veins on the shaft. As much as 15 hours of work goes into each prosthetic. Lola.Jake is looking at automating some of this process, which would allow them to lower prices. Also worth mentioning is Lola.Jake’s exchange program which rewards customer loyalty with a 30% discount towards a new prosthetic for their returned model.
Lola.Jake currently have patents pending, and are poised to expand into a larger market. They continue to research and develop their product line with the goal of creating the ultimate prosthetics for trans men.
Like all Lola.Jake models, David is available in four colors: vanilla, caramel, coco and espresso. It’s a smaller packer, measuring 3.5″ long with a 4.75″ girth and weighing 6.5 oz. David creates a nice bulge that’s not too big and not too small. It’s slightly larger than the bulge of The Packy, mostly because David’s shaft rests directly on top of the balls, while The Packy is more easily adjusted to the left or right. The weight of David feels perfect.
David comes with a tab that enables you to affix the packer to your skin with a medical grade adhesive. This tab is not ideal if you plan to wear David with a strap: it creates a bit of an awkward bump above your bulge. However, Lola.Jake can easily customize this on request and create your David without the tab. Just ask!
David’s silicone blend creates just the right amount of firmness for a top notch squeeze. Worn in the FTM Solutions strap, you can feel David’s 3D balls swinging slightly against your inner thighs. You won’t get this sensation from a budget packer! The connection between the balls and shaft looks durable and feels amply thick. David has a larger head than both The Packy and Mr. Right, with a nice ridge. More importantly, David’s glans is painted a different color from the shaft.
You could turn David into a STP device (and there’s a 2″ hole already started in the back from the manufacturing process) but it’s a rather expensive model to start poking holes in. Ask Lola.Jake to customize your order with a longer hole if you plan to convert David into a STP device.
At first, I was taken aback by David’s shininess. Applying potato starch didn’t help—the starch just streaked the shiny surface with powdery smears. Apparently, the shininess goes away with time though. As for color, I have yet to find a packer that is realistic in this regard. Like other packers, David is lighter in color than your average dick, which is usually several shades darker than the skin on the inner thigh. Despite the subtle hand-painted detailing, the texture of the balls lacks the realism of Mr. Right’s superior looking scrotum, and the shape and size of them are a little too symmetrical.
Lola.Jake’s David bridges the world between toy store novelty packers and medical grade prosthetics, and has features you won’t find on other packers. Price wise too, David sits somewhere in the middle: more expensive than the average packer but significantly less than other prosthetics. When you’ve already tried the cheaper packers, consider graduating to a David to experience the swinging round balls and the unique, lifelike firmness, and get the customization you can only get from a company that makes FTM prosthetics to order.

Awesome job. I’d love to have the David. Very cool. Thank god for this site. I can’t wait til I get one.
January 13th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
The Mr.Right packer is not a good packer from experience and until this site I hadn’t found anyone who said it was one they would recommend. I tried it and it made a quite large bulge and there was no way to make that smaller. I wouldn’t recommend it for shorter guys or guys who want to keep eyes off their crotch.
January 13th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
@Izy Personally, I prefer a smaller packer so I understand what you’re saying about Mr. Right. What surprises me is how hard it is to find small packers. Almost all the Lola.Jake packers are at least 5″. Aside from the Mr. Limpy (and the Aussie Home Grown that looks just like Mr. Limpy… is it Mr. Limpy?) the only other 3″ packer I know of is the newly christened Pack-Man from Come As You Are. I have one on the way and will be reviewing it soon. Given the low number of small packers on the market (the original small Mr. Right was discontinued) I’m guessing that there’s just not as much demand for them.
January 25th, 2010 at 4:08 am
Hey just bought my first packer =).Chose Mr Limpy,seem to fit the best to me. And was the only one I could get for a nice price in germany. So thank you Joshua for the great packing review.
January 26th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Until reading reviews, I assumed the Packy was the most realistic as far as squeeze-ability goes. I have the Mr. Right, but it seemed too firm to be considered a realistic flaccid penis/testicles feel-wise, and it didn’t bend well. When I would face the penis vertically upwards, it started to tare at the spot between the shaft and the testicles. Based on the models described above, which one has the most realistic squeeze? I’ve been considering buying a model from Lola Jake, but considering the price, I’m afraid to spend so much and be disappointed with it’s realism. Thanks for the help!!
January 26th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
@Shay, The Packy is a little too squishy, if you ask me. Mr Right, as you said, is a little too firm. Lola.Jake’s David won the Best Squeeze Award in this review. I find it to be quite realistic (though admittedly, it’s been a very long time since I squeezed a real one!)
Watch for The Packer Showdown Part 2 coming soon… I have three more packer models that I’m reviewing.
February 28th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
hi i have a packer but idk what to use to hold kit without purchusing online. what can i get to hold it at my nearest store? and how do i get rid of the huge bulk that makes me loook like i am harD?
February 28th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Desi, you could get a small jock strap or shorts with the protective cup pouch, or make a harness (PDF). I haven’t done this, but there’s info here about modifying packers to make them hang better.
March 16th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Mangoproducts.net is not a site worth buying from. They are taking advantage of the FTM community and stealing money from them by committing fraud. I paid for an stp packer from them back in January 2010 and still have not received it.

I am not the only one. there are several people who have not gotten what they bought from them.

I paid for my 3rd mango in April 09, and have yet to receive it. Bret finally answered an email with regard to the deplorable delay in shipping about 3 months ago making his apologies. As stated that was the 3rd mango I purchased. The first two were great. I especially enjoyed using it to stand and urinate, but I am appauled at the outright theft! I have emailed him several times in the last couple months and he has not responded.
March 26th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Tonight was the first time I came across the Like Real website, as well as this website right after. I’m wondering if anyone has purchased a Like Real model and if so what they think of it?
May 1st, 2010 at 10:54 am
Hi Josh, when are you going to do your next packer review? I already purchased one of the Lola Jake models and can’t wait to hear about the others products available out there. Thanks!
May 14th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
After reading the awesome review and some deliberating, I bit the bullet and purchased the David from Lola Jake. I’ve had about a week and a half acquaintance period with it and I must say that I am very happy with my decision. It is very realistic and retains body heat well, the balls hang realistically. I did purchase the suggested medical adhesive as well, it generally keeps the David in place but at just over 6oz, I’m a bit leery about wearing boxers until I get the tape kit from Lola Jake (which is supposed to create a stronger bond between the skin and the prosthetic via the medical adhesive). I am single at the moment so I don’t have access to a “second opinion” right now but all in all, I have no complaints! If it weren’t for the great review, I would not have known about this company. Thanks again, Joshua!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:07 am
*Update to my previous comment* I received the Tape Kit and yes, it does create a stronger bond to my skin, glad I purchased it. I feel much more “secure” using it. BUT I must admit, getting responses from lolajake has been spotty, at best, for me. I don’t know if it’s just me or if they are super busy or what—but while I don’t have an “the customer is always right” attitude, I do believe that if you want your customers to spread the word and continue to support you, you should make a strong effort to respond to their questions. I was so pleased with my David model that I was seriously considering purchasing a “play” model from lolajake. They are expensive, but for such a good product, I can sacrifice a few things. However, I’m turned off by their lack of response to my questions (don’t run a contest and not contact people who got the answer right…that’s just in poor taste). I dunno, it kinda reminds me of the fiasco that I (as well as many other guys) had to go thru with Mango Products. Bottom line, I’m doubtful that I will purchase a play model from this company because I think that their products (from what I’ve seen) are great, but lackluster customer support, especially at these prices, are a deal breaker for me.
May 29th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Thanks for reporting back, Noah! Your comments will be helpful to anyone considering Lola.Jake and the David.
June 2nd, 2010 at 2:53 am
I am so interested in buying the 1st packy one a 3.5″ but it is going to be so hard as i only came out to my mum a week ago and haven’t started therapy or anything, Also because Im in Australia and im 16 so i dont have a credit card to buy all this stuff!
June 2nd, 2010 at 9:44 am
@ash You’re not alone! Mango accepts PayPal, so if you have a bank account you could get setup with PayPal. However, the shipping costs to Oz will probably be unacceptable. You may wish to get in touch with the folks at Home Grown. They’re based in Australia and might take PayPal or a money order. Their products are more expensive though. Also, you still might have to explain the package to your Mom. So, another option would be to get connected with other local trans guys and ask one of them to place the order for you and have it shipped to their house. Hope that helps!
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:34 pm
@ash I’m 15 and I buy the things I need by walking to the closest store (any store really even a grocery store) and having my money put on a visa gift card. I haven’t had any problems making online purchases with these as of yet. I suggest giving it a try. If you want some help I’d be glad to assist you. email me at deethegreat@comcast.net . Younger crowd got to stick together :]
July 17th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Hey you might wanna update some of the info. on here (mango’s packers were upped in price!) Also another product review would be fantastic
! I’m also quite partial to charts or grids of info. so maybe that could be another section with concise info. about all the reviewed packers? Another awesome article 
July 25th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
I really like the Vamp Bella because it’s a 100% body safe silicone that’s still soft and pliable, and realistic looking. I guess the realism of the Bella is what I like most. It’s a good size–4″ from balls to tip–and rests in an Aslan packing harness really well. It’s reasonably priced too, which is important. I’m gonna get the Bella large soon to use for pack n’ play!
August 3rd, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Has anyone bought a prosthetic from HomeGrown in Australia? I can’t find any reviews about them.

Did you try wearing the david using its? if u did, did it stick?
August 30th, 2010 at 8:37 am
@Tai I wear the David with a strap and never tried the adhesive. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the adhesives offered by FTM prosthetic makers.

Tom, I love the Pack-Man! For a few reasons. I’ll share more in my upcoming review. I have one to giveaway too!
November 9th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
dear joshua,
i am trying to find the right packer for me. My mom and dad have no clue what the right thing is so we need your help!!! i was thinking of the packy since it is not as expensive, but it isn’t a STP product and i really want one of those. i DO NOT want mr. right because of its overall largness. I was looking on mango products and i was thinking of possibly buying the mango. any advice?? please HELP!!!!! thanks
November 10th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Hey andrew, the Packy is a nice place to start (if you’re caucasian) because it’s small and cheap. If you want a STP packer, check out The Ultimate Guide to STP, and in particular the STP-Fitz and DJ Knows Dick products. Mango make a nice product, but they have a reputation for delayed shipment (ie. 8 months!), orders that never get filled and being unresponsive. Lastly, when you take a small packer and turn it into a STP device, the final result is bigger than the packer was due to the tubing. Frankly, I’ve found all STP packers look too big in my drawers (I’m a smaller guy.) Hope this helps! Let me know what you decide to get and what you think of it. (And tell your folks I think they’re cool.)
November 11th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
thanks so much, very helpful indeed. and ya they are pretty cool. it helps alot in my transition. i will check it out and see what happens
November 17th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
just as an update to my previous comments, i have decided upon the STP fitz!!!! i looked at several reviews and decided that the nipple version would be best. it came in today and let me just say IT ROCKS!!!! it is the closest thing you can probably get to the real deal. i would reccomend this to anyone that wants a STP. great product
November 18th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Andrew, which product exactly did you ultimately decide on? And does anyone know or have any experience with any of these products and sex?
November 20th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
@Jake: None of the packers here are suitable for sex, but Lola.Jake offers several Pack & Play models.
November 21st, 2010 at 11:09 pm
I have had a packer for almost a year now (the ‘limpy’) and I had a few problems with it sitting in my boxers (not fond of boxer briefs) and what I came up with is…..
I had an ankle sock lying around, cut it in half and cut a hole (the size of the shaft of my packer)into the side and slide my packer through the hole until it stopped at the base by the balls. I then used a safety pin to hold it onto the inside of my boxers. It is PERFECT. Never had any problems with it, it has never came unclipped or anything. I can run around in boxers without being afraid it might come loose. And sometimes I like to go commando and just pin it to the inside of my shorts.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:46 am
Hey guys,
I gave the Like Real a chance and needless to say it is not worth the money nor the effort it took to get it through customs. I ended up having to pay another 180 bucks to get it through customs in which they sent me a ticket saying that the product was miss classified. I have had numerous problems with trying to contact their staff. The product was not worth the amount it cost. I tried every single medical grade adhesive that matched the specs for the stp and it would not properly adhere to my skin and the reservoir used to catch the stream will, well cause a nasty little mess as soon as urine hits it. The color is so far off that it look like someone with a hot pink crayola got a hold of it. the opening at the tip gave out with in a week of wearing it due to being shoved in my britches, it stuck together and started to deteriorate. I talked to several prosthetic companies and asked why would the materials start to deteriorate when coming in contact with urine and the response was the grade of the materials used was poor and the ph level in the urine. Although, it looks like a good deal and seems promising it is full of headaches. Oh, they also promote that the shaft is strong enough for penetration… *cough* yeah if the opening of whatever your sticking your shaft into is the size of a watermelon. Any sort of friction and your junk goes flying or gets ripped off your body. Very unpleasant all the way around.
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up before investing in this product. I have used other types of stps and packers that require adhesive and have had no problems with it adhering to my body.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Thank you for these websites there very helpfull now i can get the right stuff for me now.
December 16th, 2010 at 2:29 am
hey there, just wanted to put my two cents in on a lolajake product for any guys considering shelling out the money for one. I bought the regular Sam model, it’s a pack n play, though I haven’t had much of a chance to “play” with it yet, I am quite pleased with the other qualities so far. I got a regular vanilla, and it is quite pale, which could be a drawback for anyone who cares about color, I am never in situations where it would matter, so it doesn’t bother me, but otherwise it is quite realistic looking and feeling. Packing-wise, this model is the perfect size. I’m 5’7′ 150 lbs, and it is absolutely perfect, it doesn’t call too much attention, but it is noticeable for any peepers.
it also doesn’t stick too much, and retains my body heat. there are only two problems I have with it 1- this model doesn’t have 3d balls, which is fine for me, but lolajake offers a “sam plus” model that is the exact same size but has 3d balls. 2-because I got the pnp model, the inside is hollow, so flaccid, it does tend to kink a bit like a garden hose, and can look square if you wear tight underwear alone. You can’t see it through the pants, which again is fine for me. I imagine their regular packers are a good buy too. Also, they got rid of the wierd shiny coat, which was a good move. Overall, I give this product a 7 on the scale. I’ll let you know how the play goes…
December 20th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
………….Um, yeah, it’s REALLY REALLY REALLY good for ‘playing’!!!! Let me just say, for someone who never had a good experience with dildos in the past, my partner LOVED it! We repeated a few hours later because she enjoyed it so much.
Just thought I’d share that with ya. Lolajake seems to have a really good grasp on some good products.

I just got my prosthetic from REELMAGIK and I will say it is awesome. The feel and look are above all the rest. Yes, I’ve had them all from FTM prosthetics, lola jake (horrible) to Likereal.
I ordered the 6″ without the flex rod. I was so pleased with the prosthetic that I just ordered the 8″ with the flex rod.
One trick with this prosthetic is that you have to prep the tab with an epoxy because I couldn’t get it to stay in place with the adhesive (it would never get tacky). All I did was cover the tab with DAP food safe epoxy (Home Depot.) Once that cured I haven’t had problem with adhesion, easy 3 days on with no problems.
Jesse does one hell of a job on these prosthetics, the price is extremely reasonable as is delivery time. If you need/want a prosthetic, give this one a try you won’t be disappointed.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Andy, thanks for your comments about REELMAGIK. They look awesome!! Very affordable for a prosthetic too. I want.
January 4th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Hey! I ordered my Mr. Limpy from Amazon.com about a week ago. I plan on wearing it alot and am afraid that I will wear it out fast. Do they last a long time? Would it last longer if I put it in a harness from time to time?
January 4th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Wow, I didn’t know Amazon was selling packers! Haha, we’re so mainstream now!
How long the Mr. Limpy will last is directly related to how often you wear it. Mine have little cuts and tears in the material that have developed over time but I wouldn’t consider these worn out yet. With proper care, I could see myself getting away with a year of use before needing another one.
A harness is recommended to keep it in place. I alternate between the “Full Monty” harness and the Aslan harness with the Mr. Limpy. The Aslan is a little too big for it and I think it’s the reason those little cuts and tears have appeared on the underside of the shaft (from folding over the harness straps.) As it’s lightweight, I find the Mr. Limpy to be well suited to the “Full Monty” style harness.
January 26th, 2011 at 12:07 am
Hey Joshua, do you know when you’ll be able to write your next review? I have found all of the information here very helpful, as I am doing some digging getting ready to purchase my next packer. A small bit on adhesives would be incredibly helpful as well. Thank you for all you do!
February 11th, 2011 at 4:19 am
My boyfriend ordered from FTM-STP.com and it has been over a month! He paid through PayPal and the transaction does not even show, but, yet it did come out of his bank account. No tracking number. There is not a phone number either. I cannot believe this!!!!! Does anyone have any information on this company, please?
February 13th, 2011 at 11:56 am
i live with my grandparents and don’t have a creditcard or anything like that and they wont let me get one. i really am self conscious about my body and am begging for a cheap packer. any ideas? i just turned 17.
February 25th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Anyone have a suggestion for how to wear a packer if you have a larger mons pubis? I know, a bit weird, but it is what it is! Seems to run in the family, nothing too extra, but certainly noticeable if I’m naked. I tried packing the regular route, with some Gear Guy Gear and a small and then a medium sized Limpy, and it’s just always out too much. Any tips or tricks on how to work with this?
February 28th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
@JBR: A compression garment would probably work, like compression shorts or hernia supports.

If theres anyone that bought a packer from Reel Magic how is the packing. The only thing i can compare it to is LolaJake. I bought one a few months ago i love it for intercourse but to pack it at a size of 5.5 its just too firm can anyone compare Reel Magic firmness. I would really like to invest my money into it but Im afraid that the size might make it difficult unless its firm ness is not so hard.

I’ve got the Mr Right and Lola Jake’s Sam plus, with play, and piss facility if I ever work that one out. Mr Right is a good year and a half old. He regularly wanders into the washing machine (not now that I live in New York and the washing rooms are in the public basement
), and he has survived it. He only just survived an attempt to make him into a piss and packer, and has the scars on the head to prove it.
Sam Plus I wore for a bit – take a lot of getting used to in bed at night; have not worn it for a few months but popped it on again a couple of hours ago. The tail end, so to speak , is a long way down my leg – probably he’s not that great for boxers. Need to remember that tomorrow
. Have not tried him yet in sex, and for the pissing it’s always difficult and takes huge practice to place the collection end in the right place. But certainly he is ‘man-sized’, and anyone who asks for him to be custom-made longer needs to have very long legs.

Hi,
I’m new to packing and am wondering whether you can fuck with a packer? is that a dumb question? i would just love a packer that also doubles as a dildo so that i don’t have to stop and go ‘strap-on’ before getting it on.

Hey Josh, I was wondering if you could do (or if you were planning) a review on two packers that I was really interested in? 1.) The Peecock (pee, pack, AND play): peecockproducts.com 2.) The Stand-to-Urimate whiz style (pee and pack): urimate.com Either way, I’m glad to see more product reviews up on the site! Keep it up, I’m looking forward to more
!

Can some one tell me what exactly the Lola Jake “Tape kit” is made out of.. 75 dollars seems awfully expensive. I recently discovered Lola Jake don’t really make their prosthetics, so I guess thats why they charge so much for the extras (the prosthetics are made at GT Products TX) its probably how they make most of their profit from selling the extras coz they are the only parts that don’t need to be made else where.
I THINK the tape kit is just strong silicone adhesive that bonds the prosthetic TO a strip of plastic tape.. which you THEN use medical adhesive to stick to the skin. Because silicone does not stick to skin directly very well, so it essentially sticks to something to it that does stick to the body better.

@Danny I *really* want to try Reel Magik!
@Peter Sam Plus is great for play! My GF agrees
(Full review on its way…)
@Travis A good harness-free option for packing is TranZwear packing underwear.
@eric It’s easy to whiz while packing, how it’s done depends on what kind of harness you’re wearing. (And to dovetail on my comment above, it’s a total non-issue with packing underwear.)
@packernewbie No question is dumb! Most packers aren’t designed for play (too soft), but there are models out there that are pack & pee and pack & pee & play! Personally, I pack small but pull out the big guns for play.
@CC I’ll look into reviewing those!
@LJCSS Changed your username as I don’t want random mud slinging around here. It wouldn’t be all that surprising if Lola.Jake sub-contracts the manufacture of their products—that’s standard practice for the adult toy/novelty industry. I’ve never used the tape kit or adhesives, so can’t answer your question.

Hey man great reviews…I know when it comes to reelmagik there are some that are happy and then there are some that are pissed they spent over 700 for something that already is becoming torn. As far as the STP option for like real, opt out. They have a lot more to learn about the pre op and post op anatomy of a transman.

Hey guys, I don’t mean to sound all easily offended, but it kind of bothers me that you’ve included “Fleshjack” on the list of places to buy the Mr. Limpy packer. The people who run that site frankly sound like douchebags and are apparently only selling the extra-small [read: normal-sized] model so you can “antagonize” and “humiliate” (their words) your biologically-male friends whom you’d like to insinuate have small dicks. Suggestions for the larger models range from “cock fights” to firing them from water balloon launchers. Obviously not serious, but c’mon. I understand wanting to link as many vendors as possible, but the idea of financially supporting these guys when you could buy from a site actually supportive of the trans community makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Anyway, to keep this comment more directly on topic, I’ll vouch for the Stand-to-Urimate Whiz Packer (though it can be tricky to position at first) and the GoodVibes Sailor soft pack, although even the smaller Sailor model is on the longish side. Both of them have a good weight and texture and don’t create an ostentatious bulge.

is there a soft packer that can be glued on with medical adhesive so i dont have to where a device to keep it in place? For example, can I just glue mr packy with medical adhesive to myself?

Yo, just want you to know that this review is very helpful, and I have come back and referenced it several times. in my humble opinion, I think it is about time to write another review on other available packers, especially “the good fella”, the peecock, and the sailor soft pack. It’s very helpful to be able to come to one place to compare some of these items. I’ve tried lolajake (great, but I wish I had known more about packets before shelling out the money), mr. right (very, very big), & i just received the sailor soft pack yesterday and so far it is BY far my favorite! Anyway, keep the info coming, this is one of my favorite sites.

Is there nobody on the internet who has tried the Tyron prosthetic? I know it is very pricy, but from the descriptions of what it is and what it does and the pictures of it on the website, if it really is everything it is described to be, it’d be well worth the investment.
I’ve corresponded with Tyron and am really excited about the Phase 3 set to become available in January 2012 or so; apparently it will be an improvement on the Phase 2 in every regard and include STP ability…
I just can’t find any reviews of the Phase 2 anywhere except the manufacturer’s website. I’ve read forum comments by 2 people who said they ordered it and received it, but they didn’t expound upon their experience with the prosthetic.
I’m thinking of saving for the Tyron Phase 3 so if anyone out there has any experience with the Phase 2, I’d love to hear about it.
