			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Fshock-jock-enhancing-underwear"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Fshock-jock-enhancing-underwear" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>Packing Goes High Tech, LA Style</strong></p>
<p>Once again, I find myself at my desk in my underwear writing another review for <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">The Great Packing Harness Roundup</a>. Today&#8217;s installment covers <a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-underwear">Andrew Christian&#8217;s Shock Jock enhancing underwear</a>, or more specifically the Shock Jock Flirt Boxer.</p>
<div id="attachment_1449" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-underwear"><img class="size-full wp-image-1449 " title="Andrew Christian Shock Jock Flirt Boxer" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-acshockjock1.jpg" alt="Andrew Christian Shock Jock Flirt Boxer" width="260" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Christian Shock Jock Flirt Boxer</p></div>
<p><a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-underwear">Shock Jocks</a> are designer underwear that include an inside pocket along with an &#8220;Active Shaping Technology&#8221; foam cup insert for bulge enhancement. These Los Angeles-made underwear come in different cotton/spandex blends, in a variety of color combos, and feature an extra wide silver waistband. They fit small and are best suited to athletic body types.</p>
<p>The cup has male detailing in the form of a subtle cock outline and it looks very natural in your pants. Some trans guys will find the cup alone completely satisfactory for packing. However, without much behind the cup, it will depress with close body contact. (This doesn&#8217;t bother me at all and I usually don&#8217;t pack when I wear my Shock Jocks.) To get around this, you could stuff something like a sock behind the cup, or remove the cup altogether and slip a <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">small to medium sized packer</a> in instead. These underwear have a snug fit so they&#8217;ll keep your packer secure even though the pocket has an open side. Also, don&#8217;t dust your packer with anything&#8212;the natural tackiness of it will help keep it in place in the Shock Jock pocket.</p>
<p>Shock Jocks are no-fly undies and are therefore unsuitable for use with <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STP devices</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1446" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1446" title="Andrew Christian Shock Jock Enhancing Underwear" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-acshockjock2.jpg" alt="Andrew Christian Shock Jock Enhancing Underwear" width="260" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Shown with Active Shaping Tech cup (no packer)</p></div>
<p><a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-underwear">Shock Jock underwear</a> are super comfortable and very well made. They&#8217;re more expensive than the other products reviewed for <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">The Great Packing Harness Roundup</a> ($25 &#8211; $43 USD) but they&#8217;re not an investment I regret: I count them among the most comfortable underwear I own (along with <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/tranzwear-packing-underwear">TranZwear packing underwear</a>) and I expect that they&#8217;ll have a long shelf life given the quality.</p>
<p>While AC&#8217;s Active Shaping Technology was likely not designed with transgender men in mind, <a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-underwear">Shock Jocks</a> are nonetheless an excellent strap-free option for <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">packing</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ftranzwear-packing-underwear"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ftranzwear-packing-underwear" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>The Ultimate Strap-Free Packing Solution</strong></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s installment of <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">The Great Packing Harness Roundup</a> goes beyond straps into the very comfortable world of packing underwear with a review of three products from <a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/">TranZwear ®</a>.</p>
<p>TranZwear takes high quality, brand name underwear and customizes them with one of four patented pouch designs to offer a high level of packing comfort and security. No more straps, velcro, or safety pins&#8212;just drop in your packer and you&#8217;re set!</p>
<div id="attachment_1413" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1413" title="TranZwear Trunk with Floater" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-tranzwear_trunksportfloater.jpg" alt="TranZwear Trunk with Floater" width="260" height="288" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TranZwear Trunk with Floater</p></div>
<p>TranZwear products are hand-crafted and made to order, with numerous options for customization. You can choose from briefs, boxer briefs, and trunks in a variety of materials, colors and sizes (including plus sizes.) And then there are the pouch designs:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>The Floater</strong> allows your packer to move naturally in your drawers. The pouch is sewn into the waistband of the underwear, allowing your package to swing free or &#8220;float.&#8221; (Recommended for heavy exercise and contact sports.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>The Snuggler</strong> is sewn into the waistband as well as into the seam lines, providing a more secure fit with minimal packer movement. (Recommended for heavy exercise and contact sports.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>The Natural</strong> secures your packer with a specially crafted 1 1/4&#8243; rubber c-ring, plus a small pouch. The Natural provides access to your packer through the front opening of the underwear and is therefore <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STP</a>-friendly.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>The Commando</strong> features the rubber c-ring and pouch on the outside of the garment, simulating the effect of not wearing underwear.</p>
<p>For my review, I tested out three different pairs of TranZwear packing underwear:</p>
<h2>1. Trunk with Floater</h2>
<p>These are super comfortable, made in India, 95% cotton, Hanes underwear. The Floater pouch is very soft, and both its construction and the stitching affixing it to the waistband looks professional and durable. These deliver the goods with a great fit and worry-free packing at an affordable price.</p>
<p>I tend to pack small and I noticed that my packer shifted to its side inside the Floater pouch pretty easily, requiring some manual adjustment throughout the day. A smaller pouch would remedy this. Because TranZwear products are truly custom, those who pack small can request a smaller pouch when placing an order.<a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php?seller=TranZwear&amp;navt1=48324"></a></p>
<h3><a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php?seller=TranZwear&amp;navt1=48324"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1415" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-bottom: 0.25em;" title="icon-rainbow" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/icon-rainbow.gif" alt="" width="40" height="40" /></a> <a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php?seller=TranZwear&amp;navt1=48324">Buy now from TranZwear for$14.95</a></h3>
<div id="attachment_1414" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1414" title="TranZwear Athletic Trunk with Snuggler" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-tranzwear_trunksportsnuggler.jpg" alt="TranZwear Athletic Trunk with Snuggler" width="260" height="285" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TranZwear Athletic Trunk with Snuggler</p></div>
<h2>2. Athletic Trunk with Snuggler</h2>
<p>These Jockey brand sport trunks are made in Costa Rica with a polyester/spandex blend. The material is moisture resistant making these trunks ideal for sports and active lifestyles. The Snuggler pouch design limits packer mobility. In the tradition of TranZwear, this model offers extreme comfort and secure packing.</p>
<p>I still experienced some sideways shifting of my small packer within the Snuggler pouch, but less than with the Floater. Again, those who pack small can request a smaller pouch when ordering.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php?seller=TranZwear&amp;navt1=67072"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1415" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-bottom: 0.25em;" title="icon-rainbow" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/icon-rainbow.gif" alt="" width="40" height="40" /></a> <a href="http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php?seller=TranZwear&amp;navt1=67072">Buy now from TranZwear for $17.95</a></h3>
<h2>3. Shower Brief with Snuggler</h2>
<div id="attachment_1412" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1412" title="TranZwear Shower Brief" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-tranzwear_showerbrief.jpg" alt="TranZwear Shower Brief" width="260" height="260" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TranZwear Shower Brief</p></div>
<p>These nylon/spandex bikini briefs are made by Schiesser Aqua, a well-respected brand from Germany. They feature an inner drawstring and zippered pocket, plus a mesh pouch inside to hold your packer. The open-sided pouch design allows you to pack right or left. The TranZwear shower brief is designed for use in gym locker rooms, showers and pools, and is well-suited to this as long as you&#8217;re comfortable with a more exposed style.</p>
<p>My tests suggest that packing down with this model may not be ideal, depending on your packer, and body size and shape. Packing down, I noticed gaps between the brief and my body, near the packer, providing some limited view from the side of my private region. I was able to almost eradicate the problem with some junk adjustment, but not enough to make me feel secure enough to strut across a locker room. Without a doubt, the shower brief is a more exposed style than the other models tested, and I&#8217;d say they require a host who&#8217;s already quite comfortable in near-nude male spaces. They&#8217;re very comfortable though, and do their job of holding your packer well. The sporty material suggests that they&#8217;d be a good option for active guys looking for a more revealing underwear style.</p>

<p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p>
<p>As a first time user, I&#8217;m impressed with the general concept of packing underwear, and TranZwear executes their products extremely well. While I experienced some packer shifting during my testing, I didn&#8217;t once feel like I&#8217;d accidentally lose my packer, and I loved being to just drop in my packer and go with limited fuss. TranZwear products truly live up to the brand promise of &#8220;packing with confidence.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to packing underwear, TranZwear is also the only B2C retailer for the FTM Jockwear line of packing jock straps.</p>
<p>Also worth noting is TranZwear&#8217;s support of the LGB/Trans community. A good example of this community spirit is a recent donation to the important Lyon-Martin Clinic of San Francisco.</p>
<p>Notes: Prices posted are USD. FREE shipping to US addresses on orders order $25. Plus, save 5% on orders over $60.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ftool-belt-packing-harness"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ftool-belt-packing-harness" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>New, Exclusive Design Puts Comfort, Function and Fun First</strong></p>
<p>For Part 3 of <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">The Great Packing Harness Roundup</a>, I&#8217;m pleased to present a review of a brand new entry in the world of packing harnesses, the Tool Belt, available exclusively from <a href="http://www.toolshedtoys.com/">Tool Shed Toys</a>. This product is so new in fact that it&#8217;s not yet in mass production, so you&#8217;re getting an early look here at this fresh and unique design concept.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1398" title="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-toolbelt2_320.jpg" alt="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" width="320" height="240" />At first glance, the Tool Belt appears to be another jock-style packing harness, with leg straps providing extra security by keeping your junk in place, but the similarity to other harnesses of this nature ends there. First off, the Tool Belt is comfortable, and I mean <em>really</em> comfortable. I&#8217;ve worn guys&#8217; underwear since I was a young child, so I admit that I raised an eyebrow at the more feminine-looking leg strap elastic, but I have to say that these straps are a big reason why this harness is so comfy. One of the comfort tests that I put <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">packers</a> and <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">harnesses</a> through is a 1-hour hike and the Tool Belt passed with flying colors. I barely notice I&#8217;m wearing it. Plus, the leg straps are&#8230; adjustable! Harnesses are typically sold by waist size alone, failing to take into account different body sizes <em>and</em> shapes. The leg straps on the Tool Belt are sewed in a loop around the waist band, allowing them to be easily adjusted for an optimal fit.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1399 alignleft" title="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-toolbelt3_detail.jpg" alt="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" width="160" height="268" />As one of the only harnesses that&#8217;s <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STP</a> compatible, the Tool Belt also scores big points for functionality. As you can see in the photo at left, there&#8217;s a specially designed opening in the back of the &#8220;cage&#8221; to allow for a STP receptacle to pass through it. This thoughtful design should please the &#8220;snow writers&#8221; out there.</p>
<p>The Tool Belt currently comes in two color configurations: <a href="http://www.toolshedtoys.com/details.php?prodId=1591&amp;category=&amp;secondary=124&amp;keywords=">Purple Camo</a> and the <a href="http://www.toolshedtoys.com/details.php?prodId=1493&amp;category=&amp;secondary=124&amp;keywords=">Packer-Backer</a>. I love the bright green and yellow of the Packer-Backer&#8212;I feel like I&#8217;m suiting up to play for the &#8217;74 Athletics when I put it on. (The harness colors are a tribute to the Packers football team, but I&#8217;m a baseball man. No disrespect intended, Packers fans!) It&#8217;s a subtle bonus, but the fun factor takes some of the sting off my disappointment at having to pack in the first place, and makes the Tool Belt feel like just another piece of clothing&#8212;instead of &#8220;transition wear.&#8221;</p>
<p>Putting a packer in the Tool Belt is a little like fitting a dog into a sweater, so I recommend doing this <em>before</em> putting the harness on. Developed in collaboration with a professional Lingerieist and Corsetier, the stitching and construction of the Tool Belt are sturdy, but it&#8217;s always wise to be gentle to avoid accidental tears and to keep your harness lasting longer.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1400" title="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-toolbelt.jpg" alt="The Tool Belt STP-Friendly Packing Harness" width="260" height="280" />The Tool Belt&#8217;s ball cage has a low hang, which facilitates <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STPing</a>. However, my testing suggests the problem of balls wedging between legs could be an issue for guys who wear loose boxers. The problem is mitigated by tighty whities and more form fitting boxer briefs and trunks, all of which should provide just the right lift to keep your balls out in front.</p>
<p>The Tool Belt comes in four sizes: Small fits waist sizes 28-31 inches, medium fits 32-35 inches, large fits 36-39 inches, XL fits 40-43 inches.</p>
<p>Currently in a limited edition run with larger quantities on the way, retail pricing for the Tool Belt was not available at press time.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.toolshedtoys.com/details.php?prodId=1493&amp;category=&amp;secondary=124&amp;keywords="><img class="size-full wp-image-1379" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-bottom: 0.25em;" title="Tool Shed Toys" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-logo-toolshedtoys_40.gif" alt="Tool Shed Toys" width="40" height="40" /></a> <a href="http://www.toolshedtoys.com/details.php?prodId=1493&amp;category=&amp;secondary=124&amp;keywords=">The Tool Belt is available exclusively at Tool Shed Toys.</a></h3>
<p>Note: For obvious  reasons, the harness is shown worn over underwear though most will  prefer it worn underneath.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Faslan-packing-harness"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Faslan-packing-harness" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>Will the Real Mister Right Please Come Forward?</strong></p>
<p>For Part 2 of <a href="http://transguys.com/features/packing-harness-roundup">The Great Packing Harness Roundup</a>, I compared two products made by Toronto, Canada&#8217;s ASLAN Leather. ASLAN products are made with high quality, handpicked leather, with strict attention to detail, and come with a lifetime guarantee.</p>
<h2><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1378" title="Mister Right Packing Strap" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-mrrightpackingstrap.jpg" alt="Mister Right Packing Strap" width="260" height="316" />Mister Right Packing Strap</h2>
<p>Now available in both black and white, the simple leather backed design of the Mister Right Packing Strap has a 1 1½&#8221; elastic waist band sits on your hips and wears discreetly under clothing. This harness is quite comfortable (due to the single strap), expertly crafted, and affordable at just $17. I feel much more secure wearing this over <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/full-monty-packing-harness">the Full Monty harness</a>, and for less than $10 more than the Full Monty, the Mister Right Packing Strap is a definite upgrade.</p>
<p>The Mister Right Packing Strap was created as a companion for the <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">Mr. Right packer made by Vixen Creations</a>, so not surprisingly they pair up nicely. In fact, with its large ball support &#8220;cage&#8221;, this harness doesn&#8217;t work very well with the other packers I tested with. For example, you can drop a <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">Mr. Limpy</a> in, but with its smaller balls that don&#8217;t quite fill the cage you&#8217;ll eventually notice some wear and tear on the underside of the shaft due to friction with the cage straps. With the Mister Right then, you also need to be wearing Mr. Big.</p>
<p>Despite the comfort, quality and affordability, the Mister Right Packing Strap has its downsides. For example, I&#8217;ve (inconsistently) noted some friction and irritation from the leather against my dick. This surprised me because the leather is very soft, so it may have more to do with cock hypersensitivity (due to testosterone) than the harness itself. This harness also isn&#8217;t <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STP</a>-friendly, and it has a tendency to ride up your waist a bit. A belt will help with this though, and note that all guys&#8211;trans or cis&#8211;have to adjust their junk sometimes.</p>

<h2><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1376" title="Mister Right Packing Strap - Jock Style" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-mrrightpackingstrap-jockstyle.jpg" alt="Mister Right Packing Strap - Jock Style" width="260" height="325" />Mister Right Packing Strap &#8211; Jock Style</h2>
<p>The Jock Style version of the Mister Right Packing Strap provides extra security with two added leg straps that completely eliminate the migration problem that the original design has. Unfortunately, the leg straps just don&#8217;t fit my body well. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because of their length or the angle they&#8217;re sewn into the waistband with, but where they pass between my legs they feel like a guillotine around my cock! Not comfortable. Perhaps I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised though: a founding principle at ASLAN is to create gear for <em>women&#8217;s</em> bodies. I may have been born female bodied, but my body shape was never particularly female and has also changed through HRT, and the Jock Style harness doesn&#8217;t seem to account for the position and/or size of my dick. However, every body is different so as they say, your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>The Jock Style Mister Right Packing Strap is made with the same attention to detail and quality as the original, and clocks in at a reasonable $23.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ffull-monty-packing-harness"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Ffull-monty-packing-harness" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>The Choice for DIY Enthusiasts</strong></p>
<p>The Full Monty Packing Harness is a common design that you&#8217;ll find out there in a few variations. It&#8217;s inexpensive and easy to make if you have some basic sewing skills, plus there are a few vendors who sell ready-made versions of this popular harness style.</p>
<p>To make a Full Monty Packing Harness, <a href="http://www.ftmpassingtips.com/FullMonty316.pdf">follow these simple instructions</a>. For supplies, all you&#8217;ll need  are some lengths of 1/2&#8243; and 1/4&#8243; elastic, and sewing thread, both of which you can find at a fabric store for less than $10.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1361  alignright" title="Full Monty Packing Harness" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/harnessroundup-fullmonty.jpg" alt="Full Monty Packing Harness" width="260" height="325" />A couple of years back, I bought a Full Monty-style harness for $15 USD from the now defunct, FTM Solutions. The harness is comfortable enough, though I find that the leg straps sometimes get twisty, leaving me aware that I&#8217;m &#8220;strapped.&#8221; I like that I can feel the packer next to my skin with this harness, and that it feels well secured. After minimal use though, I noticed that the stitching connecting the waistband together was coming loose, which made me nervous for fear of it coming apart and causing an embarrassing situation. So, if you&#8217;re making one of these for yourself make sure your stitching is pretty heavy duty.</p>
<p>Also, a warning for those who don&#8217;t <a href="http://transguys.com/features/stp">STP</a>: be careful when you drop your drawers that you don&#8217;t also pull down the harness. In other words, whiz with the harness in place because if you accidentally pull the harness down too, you&#8217;re likely to lose your packer to the floor. Uh oh!</p>
<p>This harness style works particularly well with the lightweight <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">Mr. Limpy packer</a>, while other packers are just too heavy for the design. <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">Mr. Limpy</a> will stick straight out when you put it in the harness, but your pants should squish the soft elastic polymer down so your package appears less, ahem, excited.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re taking the DIY route or buying a pre-fab version, the Full Monty Packing Harness is an inexpensive solution that works well, especially when paired with the affordable <a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers">Mr. Limpy packer</a>. Together, these make very decent packing package that&#8217;s also STP-friendly.</p>
<h2>Where to Buy</h2>
<p>With FTM Solutions now gone, I&#8217;m not aware of a vendor selling the original Full Monty design, but there are a few variations available out there:</p>
<ul>
<li>Motivational Transguy, aka JustAdamFTM on YouTube, is a guy from Canada who sells a Full Monty style harness for just $5.50 CAD. <a href="http://motivationaltransguy.yolasite.com/supplies.php">See his website for details.</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.urimate.com/FTM-Supplies.html">The Stand-To-Urimate Packer Holder</a> is a similar design but without leg straps, which might mean this harness could ride up a little. At just $4.99 from Urimate.com, it&#8217;s worth a try!</li>
<li><a href="http://bebrief.stores.yahoo.net/bunng.html">The Bunn-G</a> is a cock ring/thong for non-trans guys that looks like it could work equally well for packing trans guys.</li>
<li>DIY buffs looking to create the Next Big Thing in packing, might also want to look at this design for inspiration, <a href="http://www.internationaljock.com/international-jock-bulge-booster,3563.html ">International Jock&#8217;s Bulge Booster</a>.</li>
<li>The February 2009 edition of the FTM Australia newsletter, Torque, suggests <a href="http://www.ftmaustralia.org/pdf/torque9%281%29.pdf">another low-budget harness design using a stocking</a> that holds the packer and ties into modified briefs. No sewing required, and supplies can be &#8220;obtained&#8221; from your mother&#8217;s dresser drawers!</li>
</ul>
<p>Notes: Unless otherwise noted, prices are in USD. For obvious reasons, the harness is shown worn over underwear though most will prefer it worn underneath.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Fpackers"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftransguys.com%2Fproduct-reviews%2Fpackers" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><strong>TransGuys.com&#8217;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.</strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;t set out to find a &#8220;Best in Show&#8221; <a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packers">FTM packer</a>. Instead, it simply highlights each of the packers&#8217; pros and cons and lets readers to decide what&#8217;s important to them.</p>
<h2>The Packy</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.fleshjack.com/mr-limpy/?link=521977"><img class="size-full wp-image-283 alignright" title="thepacky1" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/thepacky1.jpg" alt="The Packy" width="200" height="250" /></a>The Packy is a generic packer that you&#8217;ll also find under the names of Soft Pack, <a href="http://www.fleshjack.com/mr-limpy/?link=521977">Mr. Limpy</a> and Mister Softie. It&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.fleshjack.com/mr-limpy/?link=521977">Fleshlight</a>. The Packy is available in four sizes (3.5&#8243;, 5&#8243;, 6.5&#8243; and 8.5&#8243; length, and all with 4&#8243; girth) but sadly, only one color (pink.) Previously, tan and chocolate were also available, and some stores may still carry these discontinued models.</p>
<p>The Packy can be worn with a <a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-straps">harness</a>, or in tight briefs without a harness. It works particularly well with the FTM Solutions strap. It&#8217;s a little too small for the <a href="http://transguys.com/shop/packing-straps">Aslan Packing Strap</a>: because the balls don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>At 3.5&#8243; 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 &#8220;novelty&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>On the downside, The Packy&#8217;s squeeze is a little too squishy. The color can be inconsistent model to model: sometimes quite pale, sometimes overly pink. Also, there&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>

<p>The Packy offers great bang for your buck. It&#8217;s a comfortable packer to wear and creates a bulge that won&#8217;t cause unwanted attention.</p>

<h2>Mr. Right</h2>
<p><a href="http://store.babeland.com/dildos-silicone/mr-right?kbid=1571"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-285" title="mrright1" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/mrright1.jpg" alt="mrright1" width="200" height="250" /></a><a href="http://store.babeland.com/dildos-silicone/mr-right?kbid=1571">Mr. Right</a> is a VixSkin™ silicone packer made by Vixen Creations. It&#8217;s available in pink, caramel and chocolate colors, and comes in one size: 6&#8243; long x 4&#8243; girth. Most descriptions of Mr. Right state the length as 4.5&#8243; &#8211; 5.5&#8243;, but base to tip, my model comes in at 6&#8243;. <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/BB8FE43F/BD0E4237/Mr-Right-packer">There was a previous model that was smaller and softer.</a></p>
<p>Mr. Right weighs in at 7.5 oz and fits perfectly in the Aslan Packing Strap (which was designed for Mr. Right.) It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s all about the balls: the detail of the scrotum, with it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The &#8220;pink&#8221; Mr. Right that I reviewed was more of a greyish, beige tone, and it doesn&#8217;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&#8217;t feel round ones anyway.)</p>
<p><a href="http://transguys.com/product-reviews/packers"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Mr. Right is a mid-market packer that&#8217;s durable and should satisfy guys looking for a mid-sized bulge. While the aesthetics of the cock itself are lacking, Mr. Right&#8217;s balls pack some serious punch.</p>

<p>David is a premium packer made exclusively by <a href="http://www.lolajake.com/">Lola.Jake</a>, a 2-person owned company based in California. In 2007, their parent company <a href="http://www.thetransitionalmale.com/press1.html">Too Sticky bought out PNP Prosthetics</a> and <a href="http://www.thetransitionalmale.com/press2.html">launched Lola.Jake as a manufacturer of custom-made FTM prosthetics</a>. 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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lolajake.com/?q=node/34">All Lola.Jake models</a> 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 <a href="http://www.lolajake.com/?q=node/55">Lola.Jake&#8217;s exchange program</a> which rewards customer loyalty with a 30% discount towards a new prosthetic for their returned model.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lolajake.com/">Lola.Jake</a> 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.</p>
<p>Like all Lola.Jake models, <a href="http://www.lolajake.com/?q=node/30">David</a> is available in four colors: vanilla, caramel, coco and espresso. It&#8217;s a smaller packer, measuring 3.5&#8243; long with a 4.75&#8243; girth and weighing 6.5 oz. David creates a nice bulge that&#8217;s not too big and not too small. It&#8217;s slightly larger than the bulge of The Packy, mostly because David&#8217;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.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-288" title="david2" src="http://transguys.com/wp-content/uploads/david2.jpg" alt="david2" width="200" height="225" />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 <a href="http://www.lolajake.com/?q=node/46">customize</a> this on request and create your David without the tab. Just ask!</p>
<p>David&#8217;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&#8217;s 3D balls swinging slightly against your inner thighs. You won&#8217;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&#8217;s glans is painted a different color from the shaft.</p>
<p>You could turn David into a STP device (and there&#8217;s a 2&#8243; hole already started in the back from the manufacturing process) but it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>At first, I was taken aback by David&#8217;s shininess. Applying potato starch didn&#8217;t help&#8212;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&#8217;s superior looking scrotum, and the shape and size of them are a little too symmetrical.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.lolajake.com/?q=node/30">Lola.Jake&#8217;s David</a> bridges the world between toy store novelty packers and medical grade prosthetics, and has features you won&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
