Packers
General Questions
What is a packer?
A packer is an object that is placed in one's underwear to give the feeling/appearance of having a buldge. A packer can be a rolled up pair of socks, or a highly customized silicone prosthetic. What is used as a packer can vary based on both personal preference and budget.
Who uses packers?
Anyone can use a packer, though they are typically used by transgender men.
Why would someone use a packer?
Packers are used to alleviate gender dysphoria. For transmasculine individuals who lack the genitalia which would create a buldge, it can be comforting to have something there.
Having a buldge can also be a matter of safety for those who are stealth.
How to choose a size?
When starting out with packing, it is generally advised to start out with something small so that you can get used to having something there. Whether this be a cheap packer, or something makeshift. From there, you can figure out what size you'd be most comfortable with. Everyone is different.
How does it stay in place?
This will vary depending on the packer. Some are self-adhesive. Others can be secured using special 'packing underwear.' Jockstraps, or other harnesses can be used or modified for a packer.
Packer Varients
Think of it like this; you can buy a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner, or you can buy a bottle of 3-in-one that includes body wash as well. The same goes for packers. Different packers will advertise different functions or combination of functions.
