#how to pack

[darkwood-sleddog]

sorry if this is a silly ask but are you still planning on doing/have posted the How to Pack series you mentioned writing a while back?

Yes I am! Packing is a spring/summer activity so that will be soon. Would rather have good content than fast content you feel me?

Do you have any first time advice for moving out? I’m still in my first semester of college and was first thinking about getting an apartment with my friends for the start of our sophomore year but we’re all lost and everything’s up in the air. When should we start going in to look seriously and what do you think is a good amount of people to share one apartment with? We’re def trying to have at least 3 people and pay under 1k a month on rent alone (we live in a super expensive area!)

Hey! I think unless you’re looking to do bunk beds or have two people to a room, one person per room is generally the way to go when deciding how many people to share an apartment with. Also, generally speaking, apartments are listed somewhere between a few weeks to a couple of months before it’s time to move in so I would say a couple of months before you’re wanting to move in is the best time to start looking.

i got my first real packer in the mail yesterday

it’s a mr. limpy x-small

here’s my review of it so far:

best thing about it: BALLS! better than any DIY sock packer you could make. reaching down and having squishy little balls down there is so amazing.

also, because of the cyberskin it’s made out of, the mr. limpy feels incredibly realistic. it’s slightly more detailed than i had expected, even with wrinkles and veins that pop out a bit.

i will say it’s an awkward size for me. i’m 5’3 and skinny, so it looks strange in my pants (although i think it will look more natural to me once i get used to it). on the other hand, it’s definitely too small for masturbating. i like to pretend i’m jerking off, but it’s just barely big enough to put my entire hand around it. (edit: nevermind it took a while to get used to but it’s actually fairly good for jerking off, even though it’s soft.)

last night i slept with it and it smelled super funky in the morning. a quick wash and cornstarch fixed that, but i just thought i should note that it requires regular washes to stay clean and ~fresh~.

i guess the last thing is, i’m having a difficult time figuring out how to pack with it without having a huge boner. i usually pack “up” with my DIY packers, but this one just kind of hangs between my legs. it takes a lot of adjusting to keep it from falling down my leg.

all in all, i think mr. limpy is a great first packer and i’m excited to practice and get better at using it. this is a new step in my transition and i’m very excited about it! :)

How to pack for trips

Tbh I'm bad at this and I'm mostly writing it so I'll hold myself to it for the upcoming vacation, it’s largely geared towards not forgetting rather than over packing but repeating step 2 a few times could help

Make a List of everything you use on a more to less daily basis. (Toiletries, clothing, medication, but also phone, fidget toys, stuffed animals if they Bring You Joy, etc)

Separate into Human Essentials (includes Essentials for Proper Happiness and Function) and Additional Things I Enjoy but Can't/Don't Really Need to Bring (like an Xbox and flat screen TV or smth)

If there's any extra stuff you wouldn't usually use but will need on vacation, include them in your list now (Sunscreen, different types of clothing/ footwear, things like that)

Figure out how much space you have to bring your Essentials and if there's:

-too much, figure out how to (narrow down selection) stuff as many things into your bags and pockets as Possible 

-extra space, you're probably good to go, or bring one or two Additionals (that will realistically fit on transportation)

 If you can, ask someone to review your list and ask if there's anything that you've forgotten

Once you pack, keep a list of everything you've brought and check periodically throughout your trip that everything is there, (and if you need, include when and where you last reviewed inventory)

Ok so I'm going to a 3 day super formal event soon. I'm leaving Thursday to go shopping because it's in a different city & I want to have fun lol but the event is from Friday to Sunday. (It's from about 7am to 6pm, yikes I know lol) Anyways, what should I pack for a 4 day trip?? (Clothes, makeup, toiletries, etc.) (We're staying in a hotel) (If you can't answer this/isn't for your page, could you refer me to a different page to ask this??) Thank you. :)

Packing for A Short Trip

Clothes for every day you’ll be gone

 Plus an extra set of clothes just in case

Comfortable shoes and event shoes

A sweatshirt/jacket depending on the weather

Always bring at least a sweatshirt, even if it’s not supposed to be cold

Travel sizes of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc

Only bring your makeup essentials

Phone charging cords

Any toiletries you may need

Mini first aid kit with aspirin

Mine now includes Tums as well as aspirin because I got food poisoning in Barcelona and had a lava ass for three days, one of which included the plane ride home.

Sunscreen

Sunglasses

Snacks (prepackaged are better)

Good luck! Have fun love.

Moving can be an incredibly exciting time but the process of moving can be incredibly annoying at times. While most people simply hire movers to get the job done, it’s much cheaper and sometimes more efficient to do it yourself.

Depending on the size of your home and the amount of items that need to be moved it’s totally doable to move yourself. All you need is a truck and the know-how to make it…

How to pack for a trip you don’t even want to go to:

Tell everyone you’re going to go pack now so they wont bother you

Go to the store and buy candy, chips, energy drinks or if necessary vodka

Go into your room and stare at your closet for good 45 mins

Eat, drink etc

Start to think how you would get out of the trip

Come to the conclusion that breaking your leg is a good way

Break your leg

Tell everyone you broke your leg and it is impossible for you to join them on the trip

Celebrate your victory

Realize that you broke your leg and scream in pain
