lol, yeah, Do you have any complaints about the mister right? like, its weight or does it sometimes look too big/like a boner?

Yeah, i kind of came to that conclusion. ill just have to order a few at the same time to avoid so much shipping (international) Thanks for the reply

2006?? Jesus! Any advice on how to make it last that long for an ftm new-ish to packers? haha

Mine usually last five or six years with 24/7 packing (my current one has been in service for one year, seven months and has one tiny pinhole between the shaft and the balls).

Here's what I do:

1) Wash it daily, with just a dab of soap. Don't use antibacterial, it makes the packer reek. I use a men's body wash because it's easy to handle, doesn't make the packer smell flowery, and doesn't irritate my skin, but anything you like that's not antibacterial will work.

2) Once it's washed, dab it completely dry with a clean hand towel. An older towel that's a little nobbly is best. That way it won't leave any fuzz.

3) Put a few teaspoons of cornstarch in a zip top bag and drop the dry packer in with it. Seal the bag and shake.

4) With dry hands, remove the packer from the bag and knock off any excess cornstarch. You may keep what's left in the bag to reuse on future days.

You should now have a clean, very lightly dusted packer that's no longer sticky. If it's sticky, you need more cornstarch. If it looks like it's been rolled in flour, you've got too much on. What you want is just enough cornstarch for the surface of the packer to be smooth, and not an iota more. You'll know when you have it right because the packer will feel skin-like in your hand, and no cornstarch will come off on your fingers if you touch it. It takes a little practice to get it perfect, but it's not hard.

Now for the other part of the equation... part of it depends on how you pack. If you pack with a harness, the packer is going to take a beating wherever the harness strap comes into contact with the packer. Packing in jeans without underwear will do the same thing (the inner crotch seam of the denim will absolutely chew the packer to pieces, over time). Doesn't mean you can't pack that way, but you will go through packers more quickly than if you use other ways.

There are a couple different ways to pack which will extend the life of your packer. Packing "loose" in briefs, boxer briefs or tight trunks are all good options. Basically, the more your underwear can hold the packer close against your body, the less the packer will move around, and the less it moves around, the less it gets torn up via friction.

Another option is to spend a little extra and buy underwear that has a "pocket" inside the front to hold your packer (these are designed for cis men to put their package in, which some men find more comfortable because it prevents chafing). There are several brands that offer these (Andrew Christian's "Show It" line is one, if you want to see what a useable pocket looks like), and that's my own personal solution. Be careful when you're looking for these options that you know what you're purchasing... many brands claim to have a pocket when what you actually get is a little extra fabric up front, which may or may not work in terms of holding the packer securely.

You can also sew your own pocket into the inside of any underwear you like (which would give you the option of boxers), but I'm happy with the ones I buy, because they're higher quality than anything I could afford to modify on my own.

I'm not saying any of these are "the best" way to pack, btw - the best way is whatever works for you. But these are a few things you could do that will dramatically extend the life of your packer.

The Mr. Limpy extra small (sometimes just called small), in the 3 1/2" length is the one that works best for most people in terms of regualar and hassle free packing, and is definitely the cheapest. It feels realistic through jeans/trousers, creates a realistic bulge that's not enough to attract attention, is easy to keep clean, and is lightly squishy. It's also the lightest and most versatile, if you're in a beginning or in-between stage of transitioning; its size allows you to make the bulge more or less prominent depending on how it's positioned, which is useful if you want to pack but you're not ready to explain your gender identity to Aunt Madge.

If you're a bigger guy, you may want to go with the next size up (5"), but I *strongly* suggest checking out lots of youtube comparison vids first, and if you're not sure if the longer length will suit you, go with the shorter one. I think a lot of us suffer from our eyes being bigger than our... er, realistically and practically useful proportions, as it were.

(Having said that, the GIANT ones are great fun to play with, both in the sense of fun and getting off... but in terms of packing, you're better off going a bit smaller than you think you need.)

I ended up getting the small and it works really well

Great! I was torn between the 3.5 inch and 5 incher, but yeah that just solidifies my decision to go with the smallest one. I also like how the smallest one has more realistic balls as opposed to flat ones like the other sizes :S dunno why they didn't just put 3D balls on all of them though!

I'm wondering about this as well because I don't exactly want to be grabbing/itching my crotch throughout the day D:. Does it stain the underwear too or does it come off with a quick dusting?

agree

Cyberskin doesn't last too long. It's better to go for something silicone.

No, it sticks on and stays on. If you knew how sticky the Mr. Limpy is, you would understand. You simply can not do without corn starching your packer. Just shake it off a little and you won't get any corn starch on you.

no. It might leave a tiny bit on your underwear but not much and it won't stain.
