DIY Jockstraps Pouch Harness For Your Packer Tutorial

As requested by karkatvantas32 this is my harness I make and use for my packer Mr Limpy, I use it on a regular bases.

No experience required (I had near to none when I made my first one, I had only used a sewing machine once in school back in 2004 and I don’t even remember what I learned)

What you will need:

1 Jock strap. I brought mine from eBay for $4.50 (link)

Lycra or something similar to it. I brought half a meter from spotlight for $4 on clearance and its similar to Lycra. I also picked a stripped patter because its easier to use (you find out why)

A pair of scissors

Pins

Sewing machine (Note you can hand sew it but it will take longer to make and may not last as long)

Step 1:

Once you have what you need its time to cut your material. When I did this I placed my jockstrap on the material and counted the strips (to help me with where to cut). I cut a rectangle larger than what I needed because I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be short of material.

Step 2:

Pin your material to the back/inside of your jockstrap. When I did this I used the top strip to line up the bottom of the waist band.

Back/inside

Note: When I lined the material up with the bottom of the waist band I went a little bit higher then the line… You can always trim it if you feel its too high once you have sewed it.

Front

Step 3:

Now its time to get your sewing on. I like to sew from the waist band down. I start by doing a few stitches (with the sewing machine) and then going backwards back over it (or close enough to it), I do this a few time just to make sure it wont come undone (do the same at the end). When I sew, I sew one side first and then I do the same thing with the other side because I find that is the easiest form me.

Remember to take out the pins as you sew cause you don’t want to run over them and cause damage to your sewing machine.

As you can see that I’m not that great with sewing back and forth over the stitch… though the top stitching turned out great.

Step 4:

Repeat step 3. Double stitch the heck out of it! Don’t want it falling apart and not last its full life.

Step 5:

Now the last thing you need to do before you can pack your packer without the fear of it falling out of your pants is to trim the excess material.

When cutting, take it slow because you don’t want to cut the actual jockstrap (I nicked the jockstrap a few times on one of mine because I was trying to rush it).

The back of the jockstrap pouch harness.

The front of the jockstrap pouch harness. As you can see if I used the same color as the jock for the stitching you wouldn’t even be able to tell that it was modified.

NOW YOU ARE DONE AND READY TO ROCK IT WITH YOU COCK.

So now that the jockstrap pouch harness is made, you can wear just as it is or wear it with in your underwear.

Thought I’d throw in a picture of what it looks like on in underwear or by itself.

So there it is my jockstrap pouch harness. One harness made for under $5. If you got any questions about it just drop me an ask.

Don't purposefully trigger people's dysphoria

Truscum, anti-truscum, tucute, transmedicalist, something else, nothing else, whatever you call yourself if anything - it doesn’t matter.

Just don’t trigger people’s dysphoria. And, if you do, at least apologize or listen to them when they say you’re doing it. Don’t mock them. Don’t continue it. Don’t call it some kind of “pity points.” Dysphoria is dysphoria. Don’t fuck with it just because you don’t like someone.

interactyouth

The following intersex FAQ was compiled by the members of Inter/Act. It is intended to be a living document that we will continue to tweak, change, add-to and subtract from. Please feel free to reference it, re-blog it, and ask us questions (on tumblr or at [email protected])

What is intersex?

Intersex is an umbrella term that describes people born with intersex conditions or DSD (Differences of Sex Development). There are over 30 different conditions that cause intersex people to have physical differences inside and/or outside their bodies, making their sex neither purely male or female. Biology class has always taught us that sex is merely black and white, “male” or “female,” but now we know that’s not true. There are a lot of awesome gray areas in the middle!

What are some intersex conditions?

There are over many conditions that fall under the intersex umbrella including, but not limited to: Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS), Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Klinefelter Syndrome, Hypospadias, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH), Swyer Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency. Please see the ISNA (Intersex Society of North America) website for more information on specific conditions.

How common are intersex people?

Intersex people are about 1-2% of the population, or 1 in every 2,000 people. That’s as common as natural born redheads! We’re not rare, just invisible.

So how come I’ve never heard of intersex before?

The intersex community has a long history of shame and secrecy, for so many reasons. For starters, many doctors have told patients that they’ll never meet anyone like themselves. Sometimes they’ll even tell them not to talk about their conditions to anyone! On top of that, doctors and parents often try to “fix” intersex kid’s bodies with unnecessary surgeries, trying to make them fit into their idea of “normal.” Not to mention each condition is different, so educating the general public is hard when there is so much information to talk about.

It sounds like intersex conditions can be hard to care for!

They can be. Finding a good doctor that you can really connect with is so important for intersex people. Sometimes doctors don’t know the best way to handle each specific person. We all need to be informed about our bodies, our options, and the research that’s been done so we can make the best decisions possible. Making an informed decision is the most important thing an intersex person can do, so please don’t rush into anything.

How does gender fit into intersex?

Not quite as simply as you might think! Intersex relates to biological sex and a person’s genetic traits, internal and external reproductive organs, hormones, and secondary sex characteristics. Gender is more about the way somebody feels or identifies. This means intersex individuals identify as female, male, man, woman, or a multitude of identities just as non-intersex individuals do. Some examples include genderqueer, agender, third gender, two-spirit, and the list doesn’t end there. It’s important to remember that gender is fluid, not stagnant, possibly alternating its course during a person’s journey

How does intersex differ from transgender?

Intersex is often confused with transgender, but they are actually very different things. Intersex is when your biological sex doesn’t neatly fit into the male/female binary, but transgender is when you feel as if your assigned sex does not match your gender identity. Someone can be both intersex and transgender!

What terms can I use to talk about intersex people?

Intersex and DSD are the two current terms that most people use interchangeably. However, they both are controversial for different people. Some of our youth feel more comfortable with DSD as it might be the only term they are familiar with, while others prefer intersex over DSD. All intersex folks have the right to self define themselves at any particular point in their journey. It’s better for people to come to their own conclusions about how they want to identify, rather than be told or pushed into identifying a certain way. If you don’t know how someone identifies, feel free to ask!

Can I use the word hermaphrodite?

No. Hermaphrodite is a harmful term that is widely considered a slur, please don’t use it. It’s a stigmatizing word that people associate with having both sets of working genetalia, which is rarely possible in humans, if at all. Some intersex folk have started reclaiming the term, but that is for them to decide and use, not for you.

What are some other terms I should know?

Ambiguous Genitalia - Genitalia that doesn’t look clearly “male” or “female.” However, no genitals look the same, and nobody’s genitalia is “ambiguous.” It’s all just genitals!

Dyadic - Some intersex people have started using dyadic to describe those who are not intersex (meaning, they fit the “male” or “female” binary)

Cisgender- When a person’s gender identity matches their assigned sex. For example, a person assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman is considered cisgender. This term can get confusing with intersex individuals - some use it, some don’t.

HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) - This is an important tool in an intersex person’s tool box. HRT ensures that an intersex person’s physical and emotional health needs are properly maintained. If someone’s hormone needs (for things like development, body regulation, or bone growth) aren’t being met, they may go on HRT to figure out the best hormone levels for their bodies.

Informed Consent - This term gets thrown a lot, especially when talking about surgeries of intersex people. Basically, it means that nobody should be operated on without their full knowledge of circumstances, repercussions, reasoning, etc. For example, babies and children are too young to fully understand and give informed consent.

Preferred Pronouns - Many people (intersex or otherwise) don’t identify as a binary gender, especially when their bodies don’t line up in a typical binary box. Ask someone what their preferred gender pronoun is. They’ll love you for it!

What are some other intersex resources?

We have an ever-growing list of resources on our page. Please check there for more information on support groups or legal help.

What can you do as an ally?

Call out others when they say harmful things. Be our advocates where you can, but also give us a chance to educate. Don’t speak over an intersex person, as chances are we’re a lot more familiar with these issues than you are. Listen and try to understand our stories, as we’re pretty incredible people. :)

Hello fellow tumblr users,

Today I want to talk about this amazing thing I came across on Underworks a few weeks ago when ordering a new binder for myself. I’ve always been a bigger guy and I am still pre-everything so of course with being big comes with having a big butt and big hips. For obvious reasons, that makes me dysphoric because men aren’t necessarily supposed to have big hips or a larger butt. So I ordered this hoping it would help me out and HOLY SHIT it did. If you are a larger guy or are a smaller guy but still feel like you want to have a smaller hip and butt… this product is perfect. I wear a size 48 pant because my hips are so large but the second I put this on, my hips were gone and my butt was much smaller, of course it being so large, it didn’t fully go away but it was significantly smaller. I put a tight shirt on and my binder, and I had a nice straight figure. My curves were gone. It even did a bit of tummy control, I immediately had to put on a belt because it slimmed my figure A LOT. I always struggled with having dysphoria, especially with my hips and my butt, but I can say easily that I feel SO confident when I wear this. If you know ANY trans people that want a smaller hip/butt… PLEASE pass this on. It has helped me so much and helped me gain confidence, especially as a bigger trans guy. SPREAD THE WORD.

Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions about this product that I did not cover. (littlerunawayrose).

since facebook settings made it near impossible to change gender markers (especially to change back to neutral/they pronouns once a gender has already been selected) here’s a way for people who (have friends who) understand computery things to fix it.
