How to attach the prosthetic to your skin?

The process is relatively simple, especially if you practice a lot. Let’s begin by preparing the private area - your skin should be cleanly shaved, tidy, and completely dry before placing the FTM prosthetic. Once you are prepared, you can move on to the adhesion part. You should apply a considerable amount of FTM adhesives onto the tab of your packer. Apply with a brush. Usually, you’ll have to wait a while until the glue becomes tacky. Once it seems thicker and tackier, you can place it in the desired area. You’ll have to wait for a little for the glue to set. While waiting, try your best not to move the glued FTM prosthetic. After use, tightly replace the cap.

The instructions are quite abstract, so you should always follow the details provided on the bottle or package.

How to remove FTM prosthetic?

Ready to remove your FTM prosthetic? Apply a small amount of adhesive remover onto a cloth, towel, or another piece of material. Gently rub the area until it seems clean. Then, take a cotton swab soaked into the remover and carefully work under the edges to loosen the edges and remove the prosthetic. Finally, clean all the residues from the skin. If you will notice any unwanted reactions (redness, irritation), stop using the product immediately.

Important: if you want to feel fully secured and assured when wearing a packer, we recommend wearing a harness, strap-on, or packing underwear. Surely, the adhesives are strong enough to hold the packer in place throughout the whole day, however, if you are leading an active life, your body can excrete more sweat, causing more friction and resulting in the packer slightly moving.
