Mr. Right packing strap by ASLAN Leather - review by GenderSexplorations

The Mr. Right Packing Strap by Aslan Leather is a simple and fairly inexpensive way to hold any standard packer, from the smaller Mr Limpy Extra Small to the sturdier Mr Right to nearly any other packer on the market. Designed to allow for easier and more comfortable wear of a packer, this packing strap is most likely to be useful for transgender individuals, drag kings, and those interested in gender play.

The Mr. Right Packing Strap is not designed to be used for hard packing or penetration, and if this is what you're looking for, I suggest a standard harness. However it is good at what it is intended to do: keep your packer in place and keep it from falling or winding up in strange places.

The Mr. Right Packing Strap is comprised of a leather-backed elastic (spandex?) pouch and a stretchy elastic (again, spandex?) band to fit around the body. This product is partially leather and so definitely retains the characteristic leather smell for quite some time.

The leather is comfortable in cooler weather and can feel good against the skin, but it can easily get sweaty and sticky in warmer weather if worn against the skin. I'm actually debating creating a cloth backing for this product to reduce the sweat factor. If you're the type to wear this product over your underwear, it shouldn't be a problem (though it may be less secure). Due to the ease of use of this product, it's great for anyone - aside from the sweat factor.

While it is stretchy, the basic size of the Mr. Right Packing Strap is non-adjustable (unless you want to break out the sewing machine), and it does have a fairly limited stretch range so be sure to select the correct size. The last thing you want is for it to be too tight or too loose! The waistband of the Mr. Right Packing Strap measures roughly 1.5 inches wide. The packer is best held in place exactly how the product pictures show: by a T-shaped piece of the same material as the strap with the balls slipping behind the T and the rest hanging gently over the top of the T.

I have personally used this product only with Mr Limpy Extra Small, so I can't speak to how well it works with other packers. Considering that it is designed for the larger Mr. Right, I would have to say it is very versatile and works great!

Again, and I can't say this enough: make sure to order the right size. Being a larger person (a 38 in men's pants), I have the large, and it fits wonderfully. It does, being stretchy, fit snug, but it is not uncomfortable and stretches with your movements. It does not create any visible lines under clothing.

I think that, so long as one purchases the right size, this strap would be good for a variety of body types. Also, if one has an above or below average size, I wouldn't imagine it being too difficult to remove or add extra length if you were crafty with a sewing machine or a needle and thread.

The goal of the Mr. Right Packing Strap is to hold your packer in place when moving and to prevent it from shifting or turning. It does this well. It is easy to step into, and the strap is comfortable. When worn, the strap feels much like wearing a very thick waistband from a pair of underwear. It holds my packer very nicely, and I have never had any issues with it twisting or falling out, despite my movements and even despite running on occasion. As a note, wear this packer low on the hips to keep it from popping above your underwear line.

All of that being said, it is a VERY sweaty item to wear because the pouch is leather. If the ambient temperature is above seventy degrees Fahrenheit, you will probably begin to sweat between the packing strap and your skin (yikes!). I can't speak to whether this is more or less than having the packer directly against your skin, however it is noticeable and uncomfortable nonetheless. To the point that I am very much considering a cotton backing for this product to reduce the sweat factor. Also, the sweating and friction may combine to cause some chafing if you have sensitive skin or no pubic hair.

For your own sake, don't try to throw the Mr. Right Packing Strap into the wash. Leather like this often does not like to be fully submerged in water. The strap (being elastic/spandex) will definitely not be very agreeable to hot water.

To clean, one can carefully wash the strap by hand with cool water, taking care to avoid the leather. The leather portions and areas of the strap surrounding it can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Mild soaps can also be used but only if necessary or for stubborn dirt.

Store this packing strap out of direct sunlight and away from overly high humidity, and it should last for a long time to come. Personally? I throw mine in a drawer, and it stays just fine.

I want to love this packing strap. Really, I do. It serves its purpose well and valiantly. That being said, the sweat issue is a big one - especially here on the East Coast of the US with our humid summers. The next time I have the money, I think I'm shelling out for one of the Pete packers by SpareParts. In the mean time, and in the winter, the Mr. Right Packing Strap gets the job done well.
