Hey, guys, so I finally got this STP in the mail. It took 19 days in the post from Australia and about a month for it to get made. It is just a one man shop, made by hand.

I am very pleased, even with how expensive it ended up being (around $250.00). It is light, it can be worn without a jockstrap/harness/etc., and works!

Finally a STP that is comfortable and is not huge and heavy!

Now that I am out at work, I want to start wearing something in my pants. Until now, I only packed outside of work.

Very realistic looking. I am pretty sure it could pass at the urinal, although I don't know that I would ever try that.

He only opens up for orders after he gets done a batch of 15-30, which is every 6 weeks or so. Last time he was open, he got 30 orders in 5 hours. I was # 15 and I ordered within the hour of his notice he was open.

That was about 6 weeks ago. He says it takes about one day to make each one. Silicone is hard to work with. If you put yourself on his mailing list, he will let you know when he will be taking orders again.

What do other guys use to STP here?

does anyone know if travelmate is no longer in existence?

I have a variety of products and i'm having the best luck with theirs. The devices with the wider mouth (the go girl and the whiz) just aren't working for me.

Anyone use the she wee? It looks like it's sort of in-between?

worse case scenario I will just have to make my own.

The Shewee is what I used until I bought the EZP STP.

is the base very wide. I'm having problems with the ones with a wider base.

It's strange because it use to be the other way around but my medicine spoon ones I have had better luck with lately

Is the plastic harder also? by problem with the soft ones are they get bent out of shape. I need something easy to carry and discrete where I don't have to worry about having to change my undies!

I've been using my travel mate even at home just to make sure i'm good with it and haven't had any problems

Hey, man, I just measure it for you. The width of the mouth is around 1 inch. That is close to what the larger medicine spoon are, I think. The length of the STP is 6.5 inches, which I really like. The other ones I have tried are too long. It is nice to have a short one if you want to keep it in your cargo pockets. It is very hard plastic. I think it is worth the $12. Google it to see if you can find it cheaper with free shipping. I was able to get camo color off their site. I see they now have black, so that is at least better than only having pinks and blues before.

The page I am linking shows the product really well. You can click on another page to buy.

Thanks that helps a lot! I'll order one or two and give them a try. Never hurts to have them tucked everywhere since I work outdoors. In fact I might even have or two of my others hidden somewhere undiscovered. most the width and the hard.

I had some real problems last year and I'm determined not to have to carry extra underwear this year! I almost was tempted to buy depends to line my underwear with!

Follow up. Alex made a new model, with a bigger mouth and a .5 inch longer. It is absooolutely fuckkkking perfect.

Now since he moved to the states, it is only $225, including shipping.

It is worth it guys....no harness and to be able to pee quick and easy is great. You don't even feel it in your pants when you are wearing it. Light as a feather.

There is no wait to get them anymore, either. He hired someone to help him.

They are ridiculously realistic looking, too.

It was actually 30 hours in 5 minutes!

He now has The Rod. It's amazing.

wow, just got my gc2b binder and it is amazing. It is way better than the Underworks binder that feels like you are wearing something made of horsehair. I just bought some more of the binders. Truly can say I feel like a new guy.

Also, got the Sparepants Commando packer harness to wear with my packer. Now I can wear boxers with my packer and feel great. One more thing, on a whim in the pleasure chest bought the Sam STP by NY Toy Collective. Didn't work for me, cup and mouth too small, so you can imagine the laundry and showers I took. Will wait too save for the EZP or Peecock.

Any guys use the Freetom? Any reviews of any of the STP's will help.

thanks guys and have a great holiday. Sitting here in my new packer and binder makes grading papers easier, lol.

Everyone complains about the Freetom being massive, except for the young boys who like to show off a boner and wear nothing but basketball shorts so it is not super uncomfortable. Everyone cuts the funnel because it is too big.

Be aware that the Peecock is now consistently stated to be known to rip. I don't know what they changed in the material, but I read it over and over again. This happens within a few days with light use. The owners never return payment.

If you haven't already, join www.susans.org,
1)click on "forums".
2) Find the forum Transexual Talk. UNDER Transsexual Talk click onto the "child board", Female to Male Transsexual Talk (do not click directly onto Transexual Talk)
3) click on the "child board" FTM Gear, at the top of the page. You will find a lot of info. on packers and such. A lot of reviews.

You are on track choosing the EZP STP. That is hands down the STP of choice. Something to know though...if you are not able to have at least two inches of space between the top of your thighs when you spread your legs, this STP will not work for you. You legs will smoosh the cup which will then collapse the cup.

Ummmm, or I guess I could just link you to it! haha

Dapper,

oops, the EZP did not work for me, the freedom (tried it out with a clearance STP) was a disaster. I did by the peacock (ugh) we will see how it goes. I have just about given up on STP's, maybe it is my anatomy. It kind of bums me out but I would rather be bummed out then have to do laundry all day, lol.

[ProfPacker]

oops, haven't tried the EZP. I am packing 24/7. I am very clear now that my dysphoria was bottom dysphoria. I still id as trans butch and the trans has to do with not feeling male or female all the time. I am binding for my other dysphoria with the pectoral muscle and as long as I pack I feel perfect at this point. Of course, I know this is a journey and have been talking to my therapist about it. I keep moving the envelope so who knows what next month will bring. Have been packing when swimming. I have been swimming in the Outplay suits and shorts. I am out of the women's locker and in the family changing room where I get to shower and change alone.

When I was in Florida visiting my mother and sister I didn't pack and I was jumpy and couldn't stop this feeling that I was missing something. With the Pete's Sparepants harness and brief shorts I feel very comfortable. It holds me in and I don't have to adjust myself. All is good.

I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. In this post you said you haven't tried the EZP and in another you said you had? The thing to remember is not to order the EZP unless you have two inches of room between your thighs when you stand to pee. If there isn't that much room, the cup collapses. There is a nuance to all of these STPs and can take quite a bit of practice for most people. If you do get the EZP, let me know and I can give you some tips.

The peacock should work, they just say it rips easily...even with the company's own jock strap.

Have you tried jock straps in general for packing? You should be able to find something that suits your body and your packing needs. I would think wearing a harness all day would be uncomfortable. I have the Pete's, but I only use it for sex.

I am thinking about buying a half binder when I get a chance. I love my tank binder a lot though but it could go for way more compression for us big guys.

Anyone else bought a half binder?
