Packing is the practice of wearing a prosthetic penis — called a packer — to create the appearance and feel of having male genitalia. It is commonly used by transgender men, non-binary people, and anyone who experiences gender dysphoria around that area of their body.
For many people, packing provides both physical comfort and psychological relief. It can help you feel more aligned with your gender identity, reduce dysphoria, and feel more confident in clothing — whether that’s swimwear, fitted pants, or everyday clothes.
Packing is entirely personal. Some trans and non-binary people find it essential to their daily comfort, while others prefer not to pack at all. There is no right or wrong approach — it comes down to what makes you feel most like yourself.
If you’re curious about packing, starting with a low-cost or soft packer is a good way to explore whether it works for you before investing in something more substantial.
There are several different ways to pack, and different products suit different needs.
This is the most beginner-friendly option. Our Packing Boxers include a built-in pouch that holds a soft foam packer, so there’s no need for a harness or separate underwear. The pouch is designed so you can remove the packer easily and swap it out if you want to try different options. The foam packers that come with our Packing Boxers are soft, lightweight, and machine washable.
Standalone packers are prosthetics worn separately, usually with a harness or packing underwear that has a dedicated pouch. These give you more flexibility to choose your packer size and material independently of your underwear.
STP devices combine packing with the ability to urinate standing up. These require some practice to use correctly but are popular for people who want both functions in one product.
If you’re new to packing, consider starting with:
• A soft foam packer in all-in-one underwear — comfortable for all-day wear and easy to manage
• A size that feels natural and proportionate to your body
• A material that suits your lifestyle — foam is lightweight and low-maintenance; silicone is more realistic but heavier
If you’re unsure where to start, our Packing Boxers are designed specifically for beginners and everyday wear.
The foam packers included with our Packing Boxers can be washed in a washing machine inside a laundry wash bag. This keeps them clean and helps them maintain their shape.
Packers should be comfortable to wear all day. If you experience any chafing or irritation, the foam can be gently trimmed with scissors to reduce size or adjust the shape.
