I brought this in August. It arrived very quickly, and the packaging was great. I have had 2 months of experience with it. I brought both the packer and its rod.
There is a minor defect on the inside of the shaft of mine but I messaged the team and they have been very helpful and kind about it.
The pros:
- Very soft and squishable. Makes packing quite easy especially if packing to the side. Also the squishiness practically makes it a stress toy.
- It looks great, not as realistic as my previous packer, but better than I expected it to look. I would not think anyone would think twice in the toilets if someone happened to sneak a peak. The paint is not as glossy and plastic-y as I thought it would be.
- Lightweight. I brought Jockmails cockstrap (a band with a cock ring basically) to keep it in place, it works great except that the cup tends to move about due to the build of the jockstrap. I thought it might be too heavy and it would just pull it down but that hasn't happened.
-Size is good for sex
- Great for a handjob. Even without the rod inserted, it is quite nice to jerk off with visually and tactile wise. Also quite effective when my partner gets all handsy down there, I could feel things to a certain extent, enough to get me turned on. Same goes if she snuggles up to me close, or sits on me. I can very much tell if shes putting pressure or running her nails lightly on the shaft, epsecially if there is a pull or tug.
- Wearing Boxers alone. With being able to wear a harness (last packer was with a tab that I couldn't afford glue for), I feel pretty comfortable and confident wearing loose boxers without fear of it falling out. Because it's also very soft it tends to sit way flatter downwards when wearing boxers, so it does not look like I have a boner. Only problem is that, due to size, when you sit down it can peek outside, and if you are wearing trousers then you might have to worry about looking like you have an erection because you are packing down.(wearing boxers and linen trousers is a bad idea).
The 'cons': (a lot of them are subjective)
- The size (for packing). Took me quite a while to get used to the size, my previous packer was 4inches. It also tends to sit a bit weird in underwear if packed down. I am also a smaller person (158cm/5'2) so it can seem a little disproportionate. However when packing sideways I don’t usually have any issues with it.
- Hard to use as STP. STP is one of the main functions I want. My previous was a medical spoon type which I didn't have many problems with. It took me couple weeks to be able to figure out how to pee with this one without it spilling backwards. The trick I use to do it most consistently involves Michael Jackson leaning over the toilet and using my arm to not fall face first. But as you can imagine, holding your weight forward like a push up, just to pee, puts tension on the body making it harder to relax your pelvic muscles and actually pee. Plus, there is a slight delay due to the shaft length in figuring out if you are peeing right or if its flowing out the back, making each trip rather nervous. It is pretty hard to figure out the positioning for it where there is almost to no tilt backwards for the cup to prevent the backflow. I feel somewhat confident using it in the cabins at the mens, but have not gotten confident enough to give it a try at the urinals out of fear of not being able to either get enough tilt to prevent backflow, or being able to pull my trousers and underwear low enough so the shaft can actually point down fully, without dropping either to my knees.
- Sex. Very subjective. My partner very quickly made me switch out for our harder dildos because while I enjoy the softness of the packer, she cannot feel anything except for the hard rod inside (which is pretty narrow and thin). Also the rod does not go the full length, the head/glans of the packer is basically empty and soft, which makes insertion a minimally harder effort (its not particularly bothersome for me). We are yet to try a BJ , but she suspects she might not enjoy it/struggle some because of how soft the material is.
- Packing down. If you are a smaller person like me, forget about it. If you pack down in trunks, boxer briefs, briefs etc.. you will have a huge bulge. Great if you're at a club trying to hook up, or tease your partner, not so great going grocery shopping.
- Cleaning. Fibres from cloth or towels tend to stick, if you shave down there, those hairs will stick and can be a pain to pick off to maintain a clean look. Also after a week, the silicone on the balls and around the head chafed despite trying my best to keep them safe and clean and never had that problem before. When you pee, a lot of residue might still be in the cup despite best efforts, meaning I often use TP after a pee on the inside for comfort and cleanliness. Also because of the surface area, smell of urine residue in the shaft or otherwise tends to be stronger.
