FTM Packer | What Is a Packer?

When you type the word “packer” into Google’s search engine, the Green Bay Packers are what comes up, a Wisconsin American football team. However, for a transgender individual, this term means something very different; they tend to think along the lines of an FTM packer, FTM standing for Female-To-Male. When FTM Packer is typed into Google it comes up with a very different list of results. Articles that generate include FTM Packers for Sale, 13 Best FTM Packers to Alleviate Your Dysphoria, and 3 Things You Should Know Before You Buy a Packer.

What is an FTM Packer?

It is a term for an item that is used to simulate a bulge in a person’s pants as though they have a biologically male appendage. Often, said item is more than just something to put in one’s pants, it is a prosthetic that looks like a penis. It can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to match up with its owner. The FTM packer is often used to help alleviate dysphoria which the Oxford Dictionary defines as, “the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity to be at variance with one’s birth sex.”

Gender dysphoria can cause self-esteem issues, cause an individual to isolate themself, bring about extreme depression and anxiety, make a person take dangerous risks due to the lack of self-preservation, and neglect their own care entirely which can be with either hygiene or nutrition. Dysphoria can be devastating, and alongside a therapist, one can use items to help diminish its symptoms which can include utilizing an FTM packer and other tools at disposal.

Depending on where you look, you will find FTM packers that range from simplistic to extremely detailed in design. The more intricate the prosthetic the pricier it can be. One of the more expensive packers found is from reelmagik.com which has a $600 price tag. Granted, their devices use an adhesive to attach it to the user’s body and appear extremely realistic both in looks as well as feel. You can specialize their product by skin shade, length of the penile shaft, make it circumcised or not, and you can even add fake pubic hair to it that matches your own.

What is a packer?

This FTM packer is unfortunately not obtainable for everyone. Many transgender individuals struggle with the financial cost of a sometimes necessary device. However, there are more and more companies providing a high-quality FTM packer for exceptionally low or discounted rates such as Axolom.

Now, an FTM packer is different from an STP, Stand-To-Pee device. While an STP can be built into an FTM packer, the items are not mutually exclusive. One of the more common items for a transgender individual who needs a prosthetic would be a soft packer. This item is generally made with silicone that allows for a squishy feel. The soft FTM packer can be used with a harness, a strap around the waist, and an o-ring to secure the prosthetic. This allows the owner to not need a special type of underwear that is specifically made to hold packers. If a trans person wants to have everything built into one packer, that can mean it has a tube in the shaft and an opening to urinate in and through. This can allow them to stand and pee at a urinal or in a stall. It can also alleviate even more dysphoria that public restrooms often cause. In addition to an STP, you can get an FTM packer that allows for penetrative sex.

You can get a few different types with either a rod built into the shaft of the prosthetic penis or one you insert when the time calls for it. Either way, the idea is that a person can wear the item as a regular packer and then quickly adjust it to have intimate penetrative contact with another consenting individual. For many transgender people, sex dysphoria is very real and extremely difficult, so anything that can help diminish its effects is something to celebrate and utilize.

The first time an individual wears an FTM packer can take some getting used to. You are adding another item to your body that was not there before. For some, that means they have to adjust the way they walk, how they sit, and even how they stand. This all depends on how your prosthetic device is held, either by the harness we discussed earlier, boxers with a pocket, a pouch affixed to your underwear, or some other creative way. Securing your FTM packer can prevent mishaps that could lead to some embarrassing and possibly dangerous situations such as it falling out onto a public bathroom’s floor.

We have come far in our society today that has allowed for devices such as an FTM packer to be easier toaccess and more affordable now more than ever. This allows people who suffer from gender dysphoria to go about their daily lives happier and more comfortably because they have a prosthetic that lessens its effects. Something to remember, however, not every transgender person experiences dysphoria in the same way and should in no way be generalized to assume so. Each person is unique, and if they feel an FTM packer is something that will help them in some way, then more power to them. And with sites like Axolom gaining popularity, there is no doubt that more individuals will have access to essential items to live life to the fullest.

Nice positioning!

I like the way this holds a packer snugly against me, but out in front. But I think I’ll have to get a different packer (probably Axolom) because the scrotum on my current packer is fairly thin, and doesn’t really fill the two-part structure. (Normally this is an advantage; I don’t want *too* much bulge,) But I think something a bit more hefty there would work a bit better. But all in all, I really like it.

Comfortable, easy, and gender affirming

It is very easy to use and get used to and comfortable as well, I also got the harness XXS and it's not too loose or too tight it fits perfectly. The cleaning is very easy as well so it does not feel inconvenient. So far I have no issues with it at all and it makes me feel very euphoric! I am around 5'2 so this size doesn't look too big or small on me so I would recommend it for those around my height.

Great packer

I was impressed by this packer. It has a fantastic texture, incredibly realistic, surprisingly similar to what a real penis might be like. It's my first packer and this one seems very well made. The only, minimal flaw, are two small black spots on the shaft but the price paid is a minor detriment.

Ticks a lot of boxes, but no T need mods.

I didn't think realism was that important to me but how nice the paint job has made me consider exploring it more because it was much easier for my brain. The balls are a huge plus too.
The angle is something that's always frustrated me with strap ons like it makes it hard to have it in the right place so this was cool. And I can't wait to try it with a partner eventually

For me The suction cup didnt work well enough for me to just exist without a harness and I couldn't get it to actually suction for ages. Then I did something - no clue what whilst wearing the harness and could feel it tugging on me which was cool. It helps connect.

Suggestions -
I'd love for you guys to make an insert for those of us with no bottom growth. I think I might see if I can put a vibrating ball or a pleasure sleeve in there... Cos with the gap and space in the hyperon for growth means I either have to jam the shaft so far back In scared I'm going to break it or don't actually get much sensation which I found was a huge buzz kill when everything else is pretty cool.

Also I recog the shaft is still a bit too heavy that it still has likebto droops by itself a bit in the harness for me this can take me out the zone because I'm worrying about holding it up. I know this because I've compared this with how I feel with to super light 3 in 1s. It's not as bad as other play models but I was so excited with the upward angel that if it was hands free It be kind nuts!
Anyway each time you folks bring something out I am curious now aha.
Overall this hyperon it's miles better than the another play model I had from Axolom

Something I didn’t know I needed

I am a fully passing trans man that doesn’t get misgendered at all currently in my transition, and I had gotten this as a spur-of-the-moment purchase as I haven’t ever really felt the need to pack before. I had not realized how amazing something like this would improve my gender dysphoria though. Having tried packing in the past with socks it was always really awkward and I couldn’t really get behind why people would do this, but having a packer that does look like a real penis is such an amazing confidence booster and really just adds that much more to feeling more like who I am and want to be presented as. The reason I chose this one was because of the additional attention there is to adding color variation to the head and balls which just add to the feeling that it’s real, and that you could stand to pee. Granted I am still getting the hang of peeing with it but with practice I see how it is possible. I’ve been wearing it basically daily (cleaning it after every time I wear it) and there isn’t a very noticeable difference to someone looking from outside, but I personally have felt so much better and confident with it on. When wearing it at home it does feel great to see it on me especially as the colors are very close to my own skin tone that it looks like it’s apart of me. I cannot truly express into words what this has done for me and I highly suggest this as a regular packer and eventually taking the step for it to be a STP. I did get the additional STP rod as well but it doesn’t do too much for me in the way of pleasure, but having the sensation of stroking is fantastic and gives a good sense of gender euphoria, so I do recommend it for the feeling more than the physical sensation. Learning to pee has been a bit of a challenge because it doesn’t drain as fast as I need it too and while I have been better about finding how to cup it in the right place it still tends to spill (practice in the shower!). Overall as my first ever packer I give it a 10/10, as a STP about a 6 or 7/10, and feeling of gender euphoria a 10/10!
