hey folks! ill cut right to it. i have the MyPack packer (this thingie https://www.mypackftm.com/product-page/soft-packing-strap-presale) and it’s great. but! i don’t like to wear it inside my boxers because it chafes me, or outside because then it’s not secure.
right now i’m doing kind of a first and second pair of sunglasses thing, where i wear a pair of my old underwear, introduce the packer in all its glory, and then put my boxers on top of that, for security and gender affirmation.
this is a lot, it doesn’t breathe well, it’s uncomfy at times (wedgies), and worst of all involves wearing underwear from before i even came out, so that’s dysphoria central.
i’ve seen those packing boxers online, and bought a couple. but they ride up in the leg area which makes me crazy. not long enough, not tight enough, not durable enough.
what are y’all doing packing wise, that you’d be willing to talk about, to avoid these things?
if it helps, my fav boxers (the only ones i’ll wear, really) have 6 in pant legs at least and have spandex in them to keep them from riding up.
thanks guys :) 💖🤍💙
Idk if this doesn’t count as a meme cuz I’m asking for advice too sorry in advance!
So for context we’re in college, I’ve been friends with my partner for like a year and a few months ago we’ve started dating. About a month ago they came out to me about feeling like a man and being trans masc, and I’m totally fine with that and we’ve been getting closer.
I asked them about names and pronouns and they said they/them when we’re in private because they’re too nervous about using he/him and they’re still in the closet to the public.
I guess my question is how do I help them feel more comfortable about all this and be a good boyfriend to them? I’m almost completely new to trans masc stuff so I thought I’d ask for more perspectives.

I went into the men’s bathroom to pee! First time at work…
From some angles it looks really good but others it doesn’t (also yes I’m the same transtape person who’s been posting this past few days)
I tried out trans tape again with all of your guyses suggestions and it worked wayyy better!!! But this part on the bottom side still looks like it’s not binding well, does anyone have suggestions?? Maybe I just need to stretch the bottom tape more next time. But it’s always the bottom of it that looks the most like boobs. (Side note: I passed at the gym today!!)
