My packer came in!!!

I love it already, I've already taken pics and forced my friend to see them(she loves it). It looks amazing. I got it from ftmessentials , and it's my first packer ever. If I work up the courage I might post a couple pics

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this shop: www ftmessentials com. I would like to buy their Sport StP with harness but the reviews are quite mixed and it's a lot of money (and it would take forever to get to me from America), so I'd like to know if the shop checks out and if their StPs are good, so there would be less chance that I'd have to look for another one. (buying binder was easy, but I'm completely lost about this thing..). Thanks for your answer

I haven’t brought from them personally, but some other followers might have!

Has anyone had experience with ftmessentials?

[thatforestprince]

anyone have any stp device recommendations? i’m finding the ftmessentials reallly expensive

[angelenentrenamiento]

ftmessentials sells a few other sleeves similar to buck angel’s thing! i haven’t tried any of them yet but the blue one seems to have good reviews

o: thank you so much for the info, ill make sure to check it out tonight. again thanks!

Hey, hey ftmessentials, you're pretty shit selling "packer renewing powder" at four dollars for less than an ounce and a half. It is literally just fucking cornstarch. GTFO.

[thebookewyrme]

Ok!!! So, I decided to try TransTape because it looked so much like what I needed for my big ol titties. I still wear my Fytist and my FTMEssentials (which I think I forgot to post about) binders regularly, but they aren’t giving me as much reduction as I want. So anyway, got the tape in, managed to cut it into pieces that seemed about the right size (took half a fucking roll omg why are my boobs so biiig) and wrestled them all into place without TOO many wrinkles (the guy in the video made it seem so easy 😭). And. Well.

Somehow it actually made the boobs look bigger. I don’t. I don’t know how this happened.

Gonna put a binder over it tomorrow and see what that does, but I kinda want to cry. I feel like there’s no way for me to be anything except excessively feminine looking without major surgeries which I simply cannot afford yet.

Anyway, I have an appt Friday to get on HRT, did the blood tests last week so I should be good to go. Maybe they’ll shrink or something.

So, finally got my first binder, and got the right size! And…it’s ok I guess? It’s a gc2b racerback style (I liked the thinner bands) and it’s comfortable enough. But it doesn’t give much support, not enough compression, and I’m having trouble with gapping at the armpits. It’s also too short, I had to pull my boobs way up to get them to stop sticking out the bottom, which just gives me cleavage. Which. Is the opposite of what I’m going for! 😅

It will help with my profile in button up shirts though, so that’s something. And my friend @ineptshieldmaid was having the same issues with gc2b and they found another brand that fixed that issue. So, I shall try again!

But this is just furthering my desperation to get top surgery ASAP. I’m not sure why I’m suddenly so much more dysphoric about my chest than before, it was always bottom that was more important to me before. But since I’ve come out I’m just like…ready to claw my boobs off with my own two hands. Get. Them. Off. NOW. Maybe because they’re the biggest thing standing in my way between me and my gender presentation goals right now.

Mr.fenis review!

Hello people! Today I am doing my review for the stand to pee device, Mr.fenis from early to bed/ftmessentials. I ordered it April 10th and due to shipping from Canada to the Chicago store then to me I received it may 29th, 4 days after it shipped the 25th.

This is what the package looks like

It' is very discret and with the size of the package could easily be a shirt or some papers

This Is what the inside when you first open it looks like

This Is everything that comes with it in one pile

Some prosthetic and binder care sheets

This is the package

A user guide

This is what it looks like rolled up. I personally do this then put a few rubber bands around it go secure it and put it in my inside pocket of my jacket. I also sometimes unroll It to its natural shape and wear It where I usually would my packer.

It Costs 25.00 dollars but with shipping and taxes it was 30.45 dollars with a discount code ( CHASE10, this is from the youtuber uppercaseChase1)

* BATHROOM TALK ABOUT TESTING IT*

The first day I used it, It worked very well and I was surprised with how I didn't leak at all. It aimed well but one tip i would have is to go to the bathroom more so your stream is as heavy and doesnt overflow the cup. You could also just control it if you can.

I hope this helps and you enjoyed! Thank you!

[toryinnismoved]

shoutout to ftmessentials for sending me a ton of emails with discount codes because i kept having to put things in my cart and go thru the process of ordering just to doublecheck the price bc they kept taking it out of my cart

20 DAYS ON T UPDATE

I know these updates can be annoying, but I also know they can be really helpful to people new in their transition in the future when you can see my full growth on t. So, here's my update:

I made a post 16 days on t where I noted a friend could tell my voice was slightly deeper. I mentioned that it seemed to revolve around when I took my shot. I'm now rethinking that comment. At its lowest, my voice resembles a fourteen year old pubescent boy at this point. I didn't think it had been changing in these past four days, but I had noticed the sore throats were getting more intense (this morning especially ouch!) and about two days ago, it was increasingly difficult to speak. I was experiencing noticeable discomfort when speaking, as if there was a ball somewhere nonspecific where my voice was coming from. Perhaps this is to associated with the adams apple?? In any case, hitting high notes (I speak with an incredible amount of inflection) was really uncomfortable and I had to speak monotone and softly in my lowest register in order to minimise discomfort. I felt really self conscious because of this and I felt really awkward, even though my voice wasn't cracking and it was just struggling to get itself out. Since then, it has been uncomfortable and awkward to speak on and off. Buuut! My voice sounds a lot rounder and fully and less stifled than it did two days ago. I'm sounding less sick and more masculine. (It really does sound like you just have a cold a first, like so many dudes and nonbinary pals before me have noted.)

I did my three weeks recording today (bc, okay, I do them a couple times around the exact day in case I look cuter in one recording. Don't judge me) AND!! my voice is a lot deeper! Okay. Maybe not a lot. BUT my pre-t recording (I suggest you do all your recordings in your deepest register so inflection doesn't affect the results too much) sounds really high pitched now! I thought it was super gradual bc in my head my voice still sounded like it did at 8 days when I got my first little step down. But it's definitely less gradual than anticipated.

NOTE: I'm getting more noticeable changes than a lot of trans folk on t will get in their first month. I won't deny this. I'm extremely extremely grateful for this. I've been incredibly lucky that my body has taken to t so well so far. Don't get downtrodded if this isn't the case for you! You are still lovely and valid and your masculinity is so real! This is just what has been going on for me.

My peen is looking distinctly more peen-like, but it hasn't grown since the last update. Maybe it's gotten slightly thicker, but not longer. It's SO sensitive though (mostly not in a good way). I can't get comfortable sitting and my boxers rub up against my peen and it hurts. I also can't wear my packer against my skin anymore bc it's too much agitation on my peen. So I'm saving up for a good harness that puts a cloth between the packer and your junk. I'll post about it if I get it!

I'm currently using the Mr. Limpy, I'm sorry to say. It's cheap and I'm poor, so I got it, but I definitely experience a lot of guilt over supporting a company thats darkest skin tone is "caramel" (aka myself) and that sells a "flesh" tone that's white. My next move is to get a Pierre because it's shorter and has foreskin, but Pierres also don't come in darker skin tones (*CORRECTION* they do on early2bed just not on ftmessentials)! This is all really upsetting.

I'm considering phallo more lately. We'll see. I've been having a lot of dysphoria over sitting to pee and an stp might make that dysphoria worse if I have to cup the balls to pee. But I'm looking at the jimmy bc it seems the most right for me.

Someone pointed out to me that I was getting more riled up than before. I hadn't noticed that. But I have been a little more ranty. Which makes sense. Again, lots of crying. Less tears than usual, but the nearly-dry sobbing is for real for real.

My sex drive is slightly higher, but it's really not a big deal.

My needle anxiety is still there but hopefully less so. We'll see when I do my shot tomorrow.

Many a changes! Much a turbulancy! Here's to the future!

[soured-peaches]

I got my packer!! It's here!!! It's actually the perfect size??? I was scared it was going to be too small or too big, but it looks really good!

Do you know about any cheap STPs?

The cheapest I know of is the Fenis from FtMEssentials. It’s not realistic, but if you’re using a stall I doubt that would be a problem. They also have Model A and Model D which are slightly more realistic and slightly more expensive. Those are the cheapest I personally know of, and I can’t really give you any reviews since I don’t personally use STP devices. 

Good luck!

[againstme]

also if anyone’s used the classic packy from ftmessentials, what were your thoughts on it?

i was able to order my packers and stp !!!!!!! god i can’t wait for this bottom dysphoria to be Gone or at least lessened ! i wish i bought packing underwear with it but it’s too expensive

Mr. Right 5.5″ packer review

This packer was created by VixenToys. It is sold on Early2Bed and ToolShedToys, as well as ftm specific sites such as FtmEssentials.

Price: Usually between $50-$60, but I got mine at ToolShedToys for $49. A pretty good price for the realism.

Color options: The standard three colors- vanilla, caramel, and chocolate, are the options. I wish there were more but three is pretty standard in the packer world.

Shipping: This product shipped within a few days of order, and was delivered within a week. It was fast and efficient.

Let’s get started!

Look:9/10. For a non-painted packer, this looks incredible. It comes in a nice little box, which originally scared me because it looked like a literal dick in a box.

When taken out,you can see the detail. There’s a vein that runs on the underside of the shaft which looks really nice.  The balls aren’t these perfect uniformly sized ones that you see on other packers, so I really liked that the left was bigger than the right. I also appreciate the balls, because they have wrinkles and appear to have a different texture than the shaft. Here’s a picture of the balls and the underside of the shaft:

Feel: 9/10. I love the feel of this packer. It’s squishy yet firm, and definitely is very realistic. The textured balls are also pretty cool as well.

Packing:7/10. It is good to pack with if you have tight briefs. Otherwise, it’s damn huge.I was able to pack with it if i tucked the shaft to the side. When I want to pack large, I usually pack with this. Here’s what it looks like without the shaft tucked somewhere:

As you can see, it’s a pretty big bump. It’s only a half inch longer than the Mr. Limpy [which I reviewed earlier]. but it is SO much bigger in pants due to the different material and girth. Here’s a side by side comparison:

As you can see in this picture, the Mr. Right is definitely girthier than the Mr. Limpy, and appears firmer. It is certainly a bigger bulge in pants because it doesn’t squish down like the cyberskin material of Mr. Limpy.

Play: This packer is firm enough that it can work for some penetration. However, I don’t recommend doing it often, because it isn’t meant for sex. A condom will fit on it, and you can put it in a harness to keep it still. It’s certainly not the most ideal product for that, but it is possible. I’ve found that unless held in place, it’s too floppy for any kind of sexual activity.I have not rated this aspect because it is not meant for it, therefore I really can’t comment on it.

Overall: 7/10. The best part of this product is it’s feel. For being one of the older packers on the market, it has always impressed with its realism. Packing with it can be tricky but it depends on what kind of pants and underwear you wear. If you wear jeans and briefs, it will be much better than if you wear boxer briefs and gym shorts.

Is it worth the price?- I believe so. It is a very durable packer that will last a lot longer than a lot of other products [looking at you, Peecock Gen 2].

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for reading. You can buy the Mr. Right here.

I am 14, what are some good ways to earn money for a stp

Depending on your country’s labour laws you could get a casual job on the weekends.I have no idea if parents give pocket money anymore, but maybe you could see if anyone had some jobs needed doing; babysitting, mowing the lawn, etc. If you have artistic or writing skills you can offer commissions; be aware though that being under 18 you’d have to use your parent’s paypal (if they have one) and not make your own. 

 Other than that, save where you can. If you get birthday money or christmas money, keep some aside. A lot of stp websites also sell ‘damaged’ ones for a lot cheaper. They usually have some kind of very small flaw like an odd paint-job or something. 

ftmessentials and reelmagik both have fairly cheap stp and packing devices. The cheaper ones on ftmessentials don’t particularly look like actual penises, but that also means they’re a little easier to hide and they range from $12 to $80 whereas more realistic silicone ones you’re looking at up to over $100.

I’d recommend looking at youtubers who review stp and packing devices, I know Chase Ross has done a lot of them and they’re all pretty good.
