I apply it first thing when I wake up.

it still could bother you I just didn't notice it maybe cause i don't have a lot of energy in the mornings to begin with so if anything it maybe brought me up to normal speed, but by night i didn't feel it

Welp. I ordered a new STP to try, STP-Fitz. So far, the experience has been stellar. I received a notification that it was to be sent out today (I had let him know I'm moving at the end of August and wanted to be sure I'd receive it before then).

The design is interesting and may be better for me. If this doesn't work, I may resort to the "coffee lid" option. I just cannot get the medicine spoon option to work for me.

Linus, I got mine a few weeks back - wow what a difference - it's perfect. I'm still working on the best method to pack and use with ease. I'm modifying a packing strap that I think will work just fine - it'll make it easier to stand at a urinal and place the "nipple" without detection.

Hey guys I have a couple questions and knew this would be the place to ask.
I'm getting ready to invest in a pack and a binder-t-shirt.
Ok...question #1...the soft-pack im looking at comes w a sack option..BUT...it says it's to be held onto your boxers with a safety pin.The thought unsettles me as I have this great talent to majickly unhook the saftey pins and stick myself.(It never fails.) And i really don't want a harness.
Sould I just invest into more boxerbriefs?
Second question...The binder shirts...Do I still need to wear a bra if I'm wearing the binder? I'm looking for ANY excuse to not have to wear those torture devices anymore.

Thanks guys!!!

Oh!!! And before I forget...I start therapy on August 11th. I could dance I'm so excited.

Hey Tuff, right on. Therapy is an important step. Glad to hear you are making progress.

Good news! You don't wear a bra with a binder. The binder replaces that. Bad news, sometimes binders can hurt and dig in if you have one that doesn't fit right. Be careful about getting the right fit.

As for the packer, I would say sew the pouch into your boxers. Just buy several pouches, they can't be that expensive, and sew them to all your boxers.

Hope this helps.

Drew

I'd say save the time and effort and just invest in more boxerbriefs, it may even save you a few bucks depending on what you buy...but then I'm biased towards boxerbriefs as more comfortable than boxers, so if you really prefer the boxers go with atomic's suggestion.

Atomic's right on about getting the sizing right. Are you going to be picking it up in a local store or online? If you can get into a local shop that sells them instead, that would be your best option in finding one that fits properly. Even with the sizing charts you can end up with one that doesn't fit over your shoulders or something, which is what happened the first time I bought one (apparently I suck at measuring my own shoulders), though luckily they let me try it on in the store so I didn't have to go home to find that out.

Congrats on starting therapy, btw

My solution, for what it's worth... And I give my wife full credit for this brilliant idea!

I wear briefs. Now picture the pouch/opening part of briefs.

I use a piece of iron-on seaming tape to close off the inside opening.

On the outside opening, I iron on a small piece of velcro Fabric Fusion.

Put on your drawers, open the velcro closure, insert your packer, and close it up.

The velcro closure keeps it from popping out the front, and the seaming tape closure keeps it from coming out inside your underwear. The whole thing keeps my packer off the bathroom floor (yes, this has happened more than once).

Note:

**Make sure you get IRON-ON......not sew-in kind.
**Take your time and do it right, and they'll last for a long time.
**I'm not a big fan of Fruit of the Loom briefs for this. The pouch part isn't quite wide enough.
**Both iron-on products can be found at Walmart.

Packing has become a lot less stressful for me since fixin' up my undies this way! Happy packing!!

Thanks thinker,

I had wonder how well the iron-on stuff would work for this, already have some.

Just don't know why I hadn't even tried ... go figure.

I usually use boxer briefs without a seam in front with my packy.. here is a link to a site with some picts of what I'm talking about: http://www.urbanbody.com/designer/Clever+Underwear

Not promotting that site, lol.. Just want to give an example.. I guess the best place to find this type of undies would be online or at a "gay boy" store. Most of these undies have a built in pouch so that someone's junk is all cushy and up front.. The cut in back also makes your butt look FANtastic.. lol

I also found these combo athletic supporter/brief at wal-mart a few years back.. that works great.. Jocks with the opening for the cup.. This all helps keep your junk in place, although, the gay boy briefs should be snug and you are still on the loose when you have to use the bathroom..

Just my input
