So you've chosen your perfect packer... Now you need to find a way to wear it comfortably! Each person is unique, so what works for one may not work for another. This comprehensive guide covers all the methods, tips, and tricks to help you wear your prosthetic with confidence.
There are mainly three ways to wear your prosthetics. Each has its own advantages and considerations. Let's explore all options so you can find what works best for you.
Secure hold for active lifestyles. Great for sports and physical activities.
Most comfortable for daily wear. Natural feel with many style options.
Most natural look. No extra garments needed. Perfect for intimate moments.
If you are very active, a harness or straps is a good choice. They keep the prosthetic in place and feel tight and secured. The straps may stretch during the day, so you may need to readjust them.
If you are not a standard body type (very skinny or heavier than usual), straps or harness may be uncomfortable as they may slide down or leave marks if too tight.
Due to additional straps, some trans men feel their dysphoria flare up. When choosing a harness, make sure you measure yourself properly and buy the right size. Quality matters — don't go cheap on harnesses.
If you want to feel comfortable while working out, actively moving, or just doing daily things — packing underwear is the way to go.
The underwear is very comfortable, pleasant to wear, and feels natural. There are multiple design and fabric options: briefs, boxers, or "tighty-whitey" — whatever suits your style!
When using harness or underwear for packing, secure it in the natural position first, then put on your underwear. Check to make sure it's tightly attached and you're all set!
After extensive research, Emisil found materials with very good grip with medical adhesive. The prosthetics are made with an adhesion tab that attaches to the body with Silicone Medical Grade Adhesive.
The best part: You don't have to wear anything else to keep it attached. With custom color matching, it looks very natural — like a real penis.
Clean the skin area first — remove hair and wash properly. Make sure the adhesion tab is also clean with no residue. Apply adhesive evenly to the tab, covering all edges without applying too much.
Attach your packer to the body and position it carefully. Try not to move it around for too long as the adhesive may start to cure. Let it dry for a few minutes, then clean any residue around the prosthetic.
Wear no longer than 8-12 hours. Use adhesive remover (water/soap won't work). Gently pull from the edge, clean the skin, shower, and apply moisturizer. Wash your prosthetic daily with soap and warm water.

Packing is a great way to fight gender dysphoria, although finding the most suitable and well-fitted packer might be intimidating, especially when you're new. The big question: How the heck do I wear it?
Soft packers are made for everyday usage. They're comfortable for daily wear but can't be used for penetrative sex.
STP (Stand-To-Pee) packers have a special construction for urinating while standing.
Finding the right position takes time. Try it at home first until you're comfortable.
Never bend your STP upwards — you'll damage it. Keep the shaft angled properly.
A smaller flow helps you stay clean. Stop from time to time to prevent overflow.
Your STP should be lower than urethral exit. Some pants don't have enough space.
Remember: When finished, there may be a few drops remaining. Lift the cup forward to empty completely before putting away.
Hard packers (also called "pack and play") are made of firmer but flexible silicone. They're suitable for both packing and sexual penetration.
It can be challenging for bigger guys to find a suitable packer. Common complaints: the packer constantly moves, bulge seems either non-existent or way too obvious.
Nobody wants to spend money on something uncomfortable. Here are specific tips that work!
If you want a natural, proportionate bulge — pack lower than you think.
If packer gets between your legs causing friction, position it to the left or right side.
Find a comfortable harness that prevents movement without tightening your belly too much.
Yes, packing while swimming is possible! Silicone packers are the best option — they handle water exposure well.
Wear tight briefs with a tiny pouch for your packer. This is the most important layer.
Add compression shorts or harness. Make sure no leather parts if using harness.
Wear regular FTM swimwear (boxers, shorts) on top. You're ready to enjoy the water!
Good news — you can wear your packer in the sauna! It won't damage your prosthetic.
Some underwear options aren't tight enough to hold your packer in the right place. Here are the best options:
Incredible variety that's cozy AND stylish. Many models, colors, and styles available. Creates less ride-up on legs for maximum comfort.
Perfect for active, sporty guys. Hong Kong-based company with high-quality, stylish garments. Note: Only smaller sizes available.
Goal: "Normalize different." All-in-one boxers great for packing. Wide size range from XS to 6X!
Option 1: Sew elastic fabric straps together — wrap around waistline and attach straps around packer's testicles.
Option 2: Make a harness from old boxers — separate waistband, create a pouch from remaining material with a hole for the shaft, sew to waistband.
We understand how frustrating the first days of learning might feel. Here are essential tips to help you adjust:
Big isn't always best. The right size is what suits YOU. Comfort provides more confidence than size.
Consider underwear with special packer pouches. They provide assurance your packer stays in place all day.
Don't expect to feel amazing right away. Wear it around the house first.
Always remember: The way YOU feel matters more than what others think. Only you decide which option works best. Learning how to wear a packer might be frustrating at first, but once you get used to it — you'll feel more like yourself. Wear your packer with pride! 💜
