Packer Review!

Hey all! So today I got something in the mail and I thought I’d share my opinion with you!

So I ordered a lightweight packer. It is from BulletBriefs. This is their Etsy.

It came very well packaged. As you can see there is bubble wrap.

It came with a lovely bill. And a bit of save the planet advice which is always nice :)

There are two colors that you can get. White or Black. I chosed the white one.

This packer was surprisingly not very flexible. When I ordered it I thought it was going to be like a bra pad, it kinda is like one but it is harder. That’s nice so it doesn’t bend.

And here’s a terrible picture of me.

I found that this product works best in tighter boxers.

I do believe you can hand wash this, but I’m not entirely sure.

Overall I would give this product a 10/10. It’s a good price, fast shipping, and a good first packer. It is very lightweight and when running it doesn’t move around!

Disclaimer: The company does not know I’m doing a review. All that has been said is my real personal opinion.

I have been wearing a packer more often because I need to tuck my shirt in at my new office job. I personally feel that wearing a packer helps me “pass,” even though I have a beard lol insecurity and dysphoria just be that way. But packing helps me feel more confident, which is the point in doing it! This post will be a diy guide, because I refuse to splurge on a packer for now. For those of you who cannot buy a proper packer, whether it’s simply a matter of cost or because you don’t want the ppl you live with to know you have a packer, this post is intended to help y’all out! You’ll just need 2 or 3 socks and (if you feel the need) a safety pin.

1. Choose your socks! Ankle socks are going to make a smaller packer, which means a less visible bulge, but longer socks will make a bigger packer. If you don’t have Long socks, use an extra ankle sock (hence the suggested 3 socks). Depends on what you want and what you feel will look best on your body. It is about confidence more than anything. If you’re gonna feel too nervous about wearing a big packer, go smaller. No sense in overthinking it. I personally use 1 pair of cushioned ankle socks and roll them twice.

2. Roll your socks!! I roll mine twice from the elastic opening, like this:

The above is folded once

And this is it folded twice! It should end up around the size of your fist once folded up, maybe a little bigger.

3. Wear it!! This is where the safety pin can come in handy for some ppl, because I know some guys like loose boxers and don’t wanna wear tight boxers or briefs. This way, you can safety pin your packer to your boxers so it doesn’t move around a ton in your clothes – or worse, fall out! I prefer wearing boxer briefs or briefs with my sock packer. Boxer briefs with a “pouch” structure at the front are a help here, since they give the packer some room to fit and that way it doesn’t feel too tight against you. But some ppl may find that too loose still, so the best for tightness I have found (without splurging on a jock strap lol) is to just wear briefs. You can get a pack of 9 tighty whities for real cheap at Walmart and they work very well for keeping a packer in place! But if you’re not into that look, just shop around. There are more stylish briefs out there, but I’m very price-conscious. But just find a comfy position for it in whatever your preferred underwear are. The lower you wear it, the less visible your bulge will end up being, so keep that in mind if you wanna be more discreet about it or if you wanna be more obvious about it. And your packer will shift around as you sit, stand up, walk, etc throughout the day, but cis guys’ bits also shift around, so do not be worried about the appearance. It won’t look as “unnatural” as you may worry it does, and since it is a sock pack, it is easy to adjust when you have the chance.

4. Laundry time! The reason I like the sock pack is because it is extremely easy to wash once you’re done wearing it for your day. Just unroll and put the socks in your laundry hamper with everything else you’ll be putting in the wash. Simple, easy, effective. And if you are someone who is closeted or just not comfortable having ppl know you pack, this is somewhat “evidence-free,” since you’ll just be adding a few socks to your laundry.
