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

I just love it. I had kind of given up on packing just because it was a pain to keep track of the damn thing......especially when going to the restroom.

I thought about jocks and specialty packer socks, but I really didn't want to add another layer.....even if it was just another waistband.

Also, I don't have any sort of strong yearning to pee in a urinal; so this type of set up works well for me. That may change one day; but for now, I'm all set.

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.

Hi again guys...


This is what I have goin on so far...

The package has been packaged and is on its way. LMAO

Luckily I have a seemtress for a GF and showed her the suggestion for the boxerbriefs and she said no problem.

I have also made a mental note...junk on the bathroom floor isn't a good thing.

The "urban" site was AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!

And also a HUGE thanks to everyone for their suggestion, comments and support. I would be at a bit of a loss with out it.

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!!

This is how I pack, too, but has anyone been through one of those airport body scanners while packing in this manner? Does anyone know if your packer would 'pass'? I've also wondered about a packer passing in an MRI machine, so if anyone knows, I'm eager to hear about that, too.

I've not had any issues with packing and flying.

Thanks for the response, Liam. I haven't had any issues, thus far, either. But, I haven't been placed in one of the body scanner machines. Just wondering if anyone has, or if they are familiar enough with the technology to know if a packer would pass if placed in a built-in pouch in the briefs?

Well, for what it's worth, I just returned from a national union (AFGE...which is Federal Gov't) conference in Atlantic City. One of the great folks I met and am good friends with (she's also from my hometown of Savannah, GA) now is a union Steward for the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration). They're the folks who do the airport security.

I will email my friend and ask her about this. She is fully supportive of GLBTQ people and our issues in the Federal Government. I will ask her about this. If there's anything else anyone wants to know about this stuff, let me know by PM or post it here. I'd probably be more likely to see it if you PM me with it, though.

Hopefully, I can help to find some answers for us. I'm seriously curious about this, too.

That'd be great, Theo, thanks. I'm looking forward to hearing what your friend has to say. I fly pretty often and have been concerned about this issue ever since these machines came out.

Anyone here going to the LA LGTQ Center's Trans health group/center? I just contacted them about getting an appointment (I'll admit to being nervous about trying to educate a "regular" family physician on this stuff in Redondo) and got told it's a 4 month wait!!?!

Sigh.

Someone explain to me again how this is an improvement on the Canadian system (wait time for new appointments is usually a month or two at most).

For those that don't use doctors that aren't necessarily trans specialists, what challenges do you face? How much do you educate them? I'd really prefer to have a doctor in Redondo Beach but I'll admit I'm worried about what I'll face by using a local doc who isn't necessarily trans-aware in general.
