I heard that it worked for virtually everyone and was easy to use. Th STP packer has grown to be pretty infamous since when Michael Fitz first made I wish the device would have come with some sort of instructions for easiest/most-efficient way to use it. I found myself in the stall fumbling over binder, shoving my hands down my pants, and bending my knees trying to adjust nipple just right due to the fact that it’s parallel to your body. It’d be much easier if one didn’t have to contort it. There were a couple times when the pee spilled out of the back of the nipple. It’s not a terrible product; it works for a lot of people who swear by it. It just didn’t work for me. Rating: 2/5



The Deluxe Packing Pouch

Filed under: featured, harness, medium, rating, text, gear guy gear, harness, the deluxe packing pouch January 20, 2011, 7:17 amFiled under: 3.5/5 things | Tags: babeland This is the Deluxe Packing Pouch made by Gear Guy Gear (they call it the FTM Velcro Pouch) and distributed by Babeland. It’s one of Babeland’s newer products and costs $18.00. You can see photos here. This packer harness worried me at first since the only thing holding it up is a strip of velcro. I was concerned about the possibility of it falling out of my pants while at work or while in the men’s room. I sucked it up and gave it a shot. The harness comes with instructions as to how exactly one gets the packer inside without damaging either of the products. The instructions were helpful but could have been more helpful with a visual presentation or by separating the paragraph into multiple steps. They also did not address my concern. I know it seems silly to wonder exactly how one is supposed to wear this, but I was, as I said earlier, afraid of it falling out and wanted to know the best way to avoid that. The Deluxe Packing Pouch does its job without being the typical harness. One does not have to worry about a bunch of straps and whether or not they are loose or tight. This pouch simplifies the process allowing the customer to go on with hir day. It also keeps the stickiness of the cyberskin material off of your legs as the balls rest inside the pouch. Packers, for whatever reason, tend to make me feel dirty, so this is a huge plus for me. The pouch only works on certain fabrics since it is only supported by velcro. Therefore, it fails to do its job a lot of the time. Its only purpose is to hold the packer up. This pouch really only works with knit materials. If wearing loose, knit boxer shorts, odds are the weight of the packer and pouch will weigh down your shorts. Lastly, the manufacturer could benefit a lot and help out a lot of guys by making the Deluxe Packing Pouch STP compatible. They are becoming more and more popular, and this pouch does not meet those potential customers’ needs. Costing a whopping $18.00 the Deluxe Packing Pouch is a little more than I’d like to spend on a sock with a hole and a velcro strap on it. While it can be incredibly useful to some people in some situations, it simply doesn’t meet the purpose it’s meant to meet. I give it a 3.5/5 rating.



SpareParts Joque (double strap) harness Review

Filed under: harness, rating, text, joque, packer, spare parts, spareparts, text January 14, 2011, 6:06 amFiled under: 5/5 things | Tags: harness This is the best harness EVER! I ordered the size A (Belt 20”-50” hips) in black from Amazon.com and am very satisfied with my purchase. I had heard a lot great things about this harness from lesbians and other trans guys, so I was eager to see what all the talk was about. Boy does this live up to its reputation. Putting it on for the first time was slightly confusing, but once I figured out how to adjust the velcro and thigh straps I was good to go. There’s not a lot of buckles or straps, so this harness can be worn by itself or under boxers. I instantly noticed that it fit close to my body, was extremely comfortable and I found it easy to forget it was actually there. (The jock strap style also made my ass look even more awesome.) The cock ring stretches to about 2”, anything bigger will be difficult to fit through. I liked the pouch design, its great for balls as well as holding bullets for stimulation for both partners. The position of everything makes it very easy to feel every moment and the experience was very realistic. Overall this is a great harness, especially for trans guys. I would recommend it to anyone whose looking for an exceptional harness. I guarantee you’ll feel sexy while wearing it, as well as have an amazing time. Rating: 5/5 Source: Crafty times with Dom



Soft Pack (Mini) from Babeland

Filed under: featured, medium, packers, text, cheap, packer, soft pack December 22, 2010, 11:58 amFiled under: 4/5 things | Tags: babeland theCircle has been a Babeland affiliate for months now mainly because we love that they provide good, inexpensive packers. We work with economically underprivileged persons, so having this resource is incredibly beneficial to our community. We thank them for that. The cheapest packer Babeland provides is the Soft Pack. This packy comes in five different sizes: mini (3.5 inches/8.89 centimeters), small (4.5”/11.43 cm), medium (5.75”/14.61 cm), large (7”/17.78 cm). The larger the size, the higher the price. For this reason, we decided to review the mini Soft Pack. The first thing you will notice when you pull this packy out of the box is that the shaft does not lie against the scrotum. Instead, it pokes straight out. When wearing slacks, jeans, or other relatively stiff pants, there is nothing to worry about. People on the street will not stare at your crotch in a negative way (wink wink). However, when wearing this packy with soft materials such as gym shorts, you should certainly where it under a pair of briefs to hold the shaft down. Otherwise, you might make innocent bystanders feel violated. If you don’t like briefs, you can always get the next size up. The shaft is longer, so it falls over the scrotum thanks to the added weight. This specific packer is produced by Mango which no longer produces shades for persons darker complexions. This is not the fault of Babeland, but it is unfortunate that there is not an equally inexpensive packer for us persons of color. There are wonderful things about this product. The first thing, as stated earlier, the price is one of the lowest on the market. This has an incredibly positive impact on our community making it more possible for trans* persons of lower incomes to reach a happy place in their transitions. This outweighs just about anything relatively negative about the product by far. The design is very detailed. This along with the texture give you a pretty realistic cock. If you wanted to turn the Soft Pack into an STP, it would most certainly “pass” in the men’s room. The bulge it provides is also very natural (except in gym shorts) and is the perfect size. You don’t find people staring at your crotch, but the bulge isn’t practically invisible either. The Soft Pack is easy to clean. All you need is water and soap. Conversely, it gets pretty sticky when you wear it. To avoid this, you can apply some cornstarch to it and store it in a cool, dry place. The back of the balls are slightly convex (it curves away from your body a tiny bit) making it so it fits comfortably against you and makes it so you don’t necessarily need a harness to wear it. All in all, the Soft Pack is an awesome product that definitely needs to come in more colors. We give it a 4 out 5 rating.



Harkins Theatres (Employer)

Filed under: arizona, avondale, places, rating, text, arizona, avondale, employer, entry level, harkins theatres, minimum wage, phoenix, summer job, text, theatre, united states November 15, 2010, 10:25 pmFiled under: 5/5 usa | Tags: 5/5 i spoke with the general manager about my being trans my intention was simply to discuss bathroom cleaning and usage. she told me right off the bat that she had been meaning to discuss my being transgender with me and wanted to ask me what i am comfortable with as far as the schedule goes. she told me she had already spoken with corporate about the situation since she has never hired a trans-person before, and she wanted to treat me properly. she always referred to me as he. i thought i was going to have to over explain that bathrooms are a sticky situation for me since my anatomy would dictate that i go to the womyn’s room (in a society that conflates sex and gender) but my appearance and identity would make womyn possibly feel as though i am a predator in their space, which is the last thing i want especially since i’m a feminist. i didn’t have to explain anything. she was like you live as a male, you dress as a male, you’re male. you use/clean the men’s room. she said she may have to manually put my name into the schedule every week since it’s a computer system that automatically puts your legal name in but that it wasn’t a problem. she also said that if anything happened in the men’s room (like me being assaulted or something) that i would just not have to do restroom checks anymore. she also said that she’d like to avoid that to keep my privacy intact. my rating for harkins, especially since this particular location has never had to deal with trans-persons before, is 5/5.



Extreme Chest Concealer FTM Chest Binder

Filed under: binders, rating, text, things October 8, 2010, 8:59 pmFiled under: 4.5/5 This is the Extreme Chest Concealer FTM Chest Binder made by Underworks. I opened the package with the serious fear that it wouldn’t do anything more for me than a sports bra does, or that it wouldn’t fit, and I’d end up in tears out of the perpetual disappointment and frustration I face with my breasts. It was a struggle getting it on—this thing is tight—but when I finally did…wow. For the record, I wear a 30E/F bra normally. You can tell that I have a very small ribcage, and very large breasts. But this thing compresses them almost flat. To be fair, in the last few years, I have gained and lost a bunch of weight in them, so there’s a decent amount of…loose room in mine, shall we say. But with the right posture, it almost looks like nothing more than pectoral muscles. I immediately look so much more masculine wearing it than I ever could otherwise. The compression panel is just across the chest and come down to about the bottom of my ribcage (I’m about 5’4”). The rest is just normal undershirt fabric, basically. Underneath a t-shirt I actually think it looks a little less masculine—but then, that might improve once I buy men’s jeans. Under my sweatshirt, it’s basically invisible. And I can really breathe wearing this thing. I wouldn’t exactly want to run any marathons, but it’s not hard to breathe at all. I’m just stunned. The only problem I really have with it is that there is definite puckering right in the center front and around the arm holes, as you can see in a couple of the pictures. This is kind of visible under a t-shirt. I will have to try layering it with another undershirt just to see if that helps. But all in all—this thing is a fucking home-run for someone with a larger chest. Well worth the price. I feel really good right now. On the caveats that a) this is the only binder I’ve ever owned, so I can’t say comparatively, and b) I have yet to wear it all day, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. I mean it is seriously ridiculous comfortable while being ridiculously compressing. I just don’t like the puckering (which now I’ve noticed also happens at the back of the neck if I’m not standing up straight). I’ll probably make another post evaluating it once it’s gotten some use.
