I don't think so? A few years ago it wasn't for guys taller than 5'6", but now I think it runs up to 5'9" in height. Ok, just looked. 5'9" and 188 lbs. 40-42 chest. (XXL) That is the largest size. Check out size chart. But, the custom sizing is an idea, too if you can't find your size.

I am not small chest size. On the end of large actually. My weight and height are average I guess.
I use tkingdom 1700 in combination with an underworks product. PLus a shirt...plus another!! Sheesh! I am surprised I can breath or move at all some days!!LOL I didnt want to go tkingdom but I could nt get what I needed from underworks. Had to go with the combo! It doesnt roll up cause it is pretty long which works for me. |

I use the binder from Underworks too and get some serious rolling going on, but I think part of that is due to my hips and my stomach.
I heard that if you cut a slit in the sides, that takes some of the pressure off and stops the rolling, but I havent tried that yet, any thoughts on this? Anyone given it a try?

Great thread
Anybody got any swim gear recommendations? I've purchased through Mango before, although I didn't have a delivery issue...I wasn't too thrilled with the product. Not to mention how pricey they are. Underworks has served it's purpose lol. Not my ideal situation, but it's gonna have to do. |

damn lost my post never tried mango. no swim gear recommendations. have had best luck with underworks so far. Tried one other product and only thing i ended up with was losing money in returning everything. I would like to try the t-kingdom though was i have a job. They didn't cover my size before so it's nice to see that they have added on for us taller people. I did try the suggestion of wearing a shirt under the binder and found that it helps minimize the rolling and for the rolling that still happens it acts as a buffer so it doesn't dig into the skin. Just don't like having to wear so many layers. Okay for this time of the year. Not okay in the summer. Don't know if anyone has posted this. will post it again. http://www.thetransitionalmale.com/ftmstuff.html I have not ordered the stud but in the past Nick also had available the utube which is the device inserted in the soft packer. I use to order that then a cheap packer and insert it myself. Right now it doesn't look like he is selling it seperately. Maybe that will differ once the new site is up. I have used the cock sock but find the velcro can be a pain, figuratively and literally. I have a protype of underwear in my brain that I would like to try making I just haven't had the time or energy. If any femmes are reading this and are into sewing maybe you can shoot me a message and we can work on something together. i basically want to build the concept of the cock sock into a pair of underwear, so nothing has to be attached and everything sits just right and nothing will fall out. I don't think it will be that hard. the hardest part for me would be figuring out how to work the sewing machine my roomie got, no instruction book. Nick has always been good with the stuff i have ordered from him. Quick and reliable and when there has been a delay he has has always kept me in the loop. http://www.ftmguide.org/index.html is another site i have used that i'm not sure if it's been listed yet. http://www.whenyagottago.com/ I really like this peeing device on it's own, just hard to hide discretely but a great device especially for the beginner and found it much easier to use then the utube which is what is used in the stud urniary packer. actually lately i've gotten lazy and sit most of the time. My bathroom access is limited so when I'm in there i try to make use of it. |

I haven't used Mango products at all. I've heard too many horror stories about the shipping issues.
Just found a great great FTM site. I'll PM folks with the address, or PM me if you want to know about it. It's a great FTM-only site with forums, groups, chat, etc. Dylan |

This is the company I will be going with. The reasons boiled down to urintion systems.
http://www.likereal.de/shop/english/home Joseph from ftm prothetics was helpful in telling me he was working on a system. I look forward to trying his products in the future because his customer service is awesome!! |

The only place i could see the stp device at all was on the infos page is that the only place they have info on it or did people find some info in another place. If anyone gets this I would like to know how they like it ... definitely does look better then the system i'm use to. I tend to sit just because i don't want to risk leakage! Plus has anyone gone so far to see what the costs convert over to in dollars? |

I've been usin the tri top with a shirt under and actually have found it easier to take the binder off and on. I put that one on over head. I have a rash guard and a sports compression shirt which seems to work the best underneath it |

Yeah, I have to step into mine, theres no way its going over my head. That being said, which tri top one are you using? And as for the sports compression shirt, what one did you find that seems to work good?
I have two different binders thus far, and the first one, well I may as not even be wearing one it was no different then a sports bra as far as compression goes. However the one I have now, works great, but it rolls, hence the needing to wear something under it.

http://www.underworks.com/983.html is the trip top i wear. I'm not sure where i got the sports compression shirt. It doesn't work for compression though, I was hoping it would be good enough for around the house, however the fabric it is made of seems to do the best for being under the binder. (it's a new balance shirt 80% polyester and 20% lycra and spandex) my binder still rolls with a shirt under I just don't feel it like I use to. The funny thing is I thought a thicker t-shirt would lessen the pressure and it's just the opposite. The thinner slippery shirts work best under. Sometimes I have my binders on for 14+ hours and currently it isn't so bad. Before just a few hours in and it would be hurting. I was gettin really bad bruises on my ribs and sometimes sores. Since putting the shirt under. It still leaves marks but not the bruising it was leaving. Plus it slides right on and off with the other shirt. Especially if I'm damp from the shower or sweating. Sometimes I would get stuck half way but have no problems with a shirt under. |

I just posted some chest binders on Queerbay. Paying it forward so the only cost is $5 shipping.
