I'm so sorry this has taken so long for me to do. I've been busy with school and work, and I barely have any time for myself. I'm now taking some time to write this. I try to keep my packers on the cheaper side since A. I'm a broke college student that was only able to afford these and B. good cheap packers are hard to find.
As always, trigger Waring for below the cut. The packers I'm looking at look like a penis so if you don't want to see that move along please!
I'm going to start with just the normal packers since they would be easiest to start with.
Mr. Limpy: 3/5 from trans guy supply (cost: $15)
Mr. Limpy is most people's starter packer. It is cheap so it's good to get if you want to try packing. I like this one. It gives a decent bulge, even the small one. It gets a 3/5 because it is not very durable. If you want it to last a bit, you have to be careful. That being said, I do recomeed getting Mr. Limpy for a starter packer. It's a good starter peen, if you will.
2. Classic Silicone packer from AXOLOM: 4.5/5 (cost: $32 USD)
I'm using the photos from AXOLOM website since it's easier and would show it better than I can. I love this packer. It's a good solid packer. I'm taking off half a point because it is a bit hard to packer with at times. The balls are a bit big so it weighs it down. Depending on what you're using to pack with, you might need to readjust it during the day. The bulge can be a bit big, so if you want it on the bigger side, this is a great pick.
3. Au Naturel packer from AXOLOM; 5/5 ( cost:$29 USD)
This packer is the one I use the most. As you can see, the shaft is longer while the balls are smaller. It gives a really great bulge, not too big and not too small, and it's not awkward to pack with. The back of the packer is smooth making it rest against you in a comfy way. Sometimes it is a bit hard to pack with since it is slimmer, but it's nothing that bugs me enough to take a point off.
STPs
4. Freely STP from Trans Guy Supply 2/5 (cost:$45 USD)
I was really disappointed by this STP. Now, even though I'm giving it a bad review doesn't mean it's a bad STP. I've seen tons of other people who use and like it. It just doesn't work for me. It's a good STP if you can get it to work for you. I couldn't so I'm giving it 2/5. The silicone feels a bit thin on this STP. The bowl doesn't hold up well if you have big thighs like I do. If you pee fast, then you might want to stay away from it. I will say that it is easy to pack with, so that's a win for the Freely. The shaft wasn't long enough for me, but I don't think that's the fault of the STP, I think it's because my jeans are a big on me.
5. Freely XL from Trans Guy Supply 4.5/5 (cost: $50 USD)
I love this one. It works great for me. The shaft is long enough for me to use while wearing jeans, the hole is bigger so people who pee fast can use it without much worry of spilling, the bowl is more firm, and best of all, it works for people with big thighs like me. The only reason why this doesn't get a perfect 5/5 is because it is hard to pack with. STPs in general are hard to pack with because they are more firm than a soft packer. Since the XL is bigger, unless you want to look like you're bricked up all the time, you have to pack up or to the side. I pack up and it can be annoying. If I want to keep it in place, I have to wear a belt. However, ever since I got the XL, I've gotten a lot better at using a STP. I still get spills and overflow at times but I can mostly use it as long as I take my time.
So there we go, a quick review of the packers I have. If anyone has any questions, just shoot me an ask and I'll be happy to answer.
hello i just wanted to ask you about stp devices i know they are devices that help you pee standing up for ftm, but lets say if i were to get one there are so many companies and a lot of brands and i do not know which one to get and what differences they have also how many types there are and all that stuff. thanks
@seethestarsablaze has a great STP review and I would recommend any one of these products.
posting my stp steam review here too bc why the hell not
Music: bangers
Art: killer (with one caveat I’ll explain)
It’s the writing for me. (Spoiler warning moving forward)
After playing the demo, I think I came into Slay The Princess asking all the “wrong” questions. What’s out there, I wonder? What great cataclysm caused a loop like this to be created? What type of relationship did the Princess and our character have that made them land as opposing forces in every universe they created? To be a bit pretentious I came in from a deductive standpoint, and I think the game is asking you to take a more inductive perspective. Then again, I’m just some guy on Steam and this is just a game.
Well if you have looked at Slay The Princess past the main menu, you might have gotten the idea that it was always a “love story” or maybe something completely opposite (I came in with the idea that this would be subverted). So, for starters, I don’t find the Princess's core appearance appealing at all, as she is in every prologue. She’s just a princess to me. She honestly gives me vibes of Aurora from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, but in those reimaginings of Disney Princesses in horror lineups where their cute little critters have turned into monsters while they have makeup that makes their skin look almost paper white and sickly. I assume the intention was to toe the line between creepy and cute but to me it missed the mark.
My objective is to rescue her and leave. The game tells me I can’t. Well I guess I can warn her about me being possessed in the most gentle attempt to save her. For that reason, in my next life, there’s a guy in my mind who is completely in love with her. This for being as much of a decent person as the game allows. A part of my psyche has somehow developed a cloying obsession for her. The woman who killed me, who will not find another solution to my possession dilemma. I stop wanting to rescue her and move on to escaping the timeloop by moving forward. Soon enough I pick all the roads available and realize that whether they accept it quickly or not, whether I’m passive or active, all the voices are attracted to some degree towards her. The lack of cumulative pain she has caused the core “me” as the protagonist (the part the game asks you to take) means nothing to the story, we can suffer unimaginable and at points ridiculous torture under her and yet only once do we take recognition of that suffering, in transitory periods that are abitarily forgotten.
The Princess kills us in so many ways, she stabs us, she blows us up, she eats us, she boils us with her stomach’s acid, she minces us to atomic levels, she traps us in an abusive relationship. Oh no wait, when she does that is one of our alternate selves. That voice from before that fell for her to an unhealthy degree. Right. Right?
Well I think this is as good a place as any to talk about the Narrator, the closest thing we have to an antagonist, since I simply have to accept that the woman that mocks my character’s suffering and makes those deaths all about herself isn't one. He has the other voices’ voice. Same voice actor. But it's not because he somehow wants to introduce himself in a way that makes it appear like his ideas are my ideas or any of the other voices we pick along the road. He's there to convince us (rather miserably I might add) to slay her and, when convenient to the plot, take control over my body and get myself killed. He doesn't learn about what happens in the different timeloops just like how I supposedly forget even though I, the player, don't.
There’s also the question of where the me that is the player stops and the me that is the player’s character begins. It's never given a scene or a line or something to explain, or at least I didn’t find any when digging around. I don’t know why there’s this lack of use of the protagonist that is also the player. Stories like OFF, Pathologic or Deltarune have used it much more effectively by asking the player to reflect on what they’re doing when they choose to play, how they do it and how they impact both the manipulated character and the ones they meet. Meanwhile Slay the Princess leaves this discussion in this murky middle ground where I don’t know if, inside the narrative, it is me, the player, choosing to harm the Princess against the player character’s will, who loves her, or if he is in on the plan. He is clearly not empty since he comes up with concepts like hating the monarchy (How does he know what a monarchy is?) but I still don’t know if my presence as an observer is horrifying or welcome. If he wishes to push forward alone and escape or if he truly is as in love as the voices are and just taking longer to accept it.
But it’d be a lie to say the game doesn’t allow you to separate yourself completely from the princess. There’s this ending which I’ll refer to as “Your New World” because that’s how the achievement when you attain it is called. It is truly difficult to achieve since you have to figure out a way to give the Princess the cold shoulder on every of the paths you took. It’s also the second least unlocked achievement by the community, with only finishing the entire gallery being more difficult. And to me Your New World is truly when the subversion of the line “this is a love story” cashes in and becomes an effective expression of me, the player character, realizing that what was done to him was extraordinarily painful and coercive, and throwing it back at the Princess’s face. The line that accompanies the achievement in “Your New World”, “there are worse things to be than alone”, tells me that there was a message here that the player’s character was in a coercive relationship, with the Princess, the Narrator and the voices. Finally we get to see how “this is a love story” is conceptually a horrifying thing to say when you’re enduring some of the worst tortures I’ve seen a player character go through.
It just is… so brief. It is a powerful moment in the game when you reach it, for once the player’s character is on equal grounds with the Princess telling her no and forcing her to back off, but this interaction is never analyzed and it happens until the end of the game. By then the Narrator is gone from the story and the voices have mostly faded (would have enjoyed the Smitten’s opinion here, would he have sternly refused to see the horrors or would he finally realize his obsession is destroying him and hurting the player character?) And like I said, not even 5% of the players have reached it so I’m using this space to discuss just how unrepresented the Your New World ending feels as part of the cyclical timeloop. And it doesn’t feel like the game takes it as a requirement or even an interesting event to chase. The narrative isn’t asking us to follow it through the crack it hides in.
What the game is clearly asking from the player is to see the Princess as attractive, several times and in several versions. Tall, deified, cartoon-like, doll-like, beast-like. Mutilated, with her heart out, covered in her own blood, covered in our blood. Powerful as she strikes us down again and again. It asks us to see how funny it is, how pathetic you are while trying to figure out a way to defeat her, how most of the time what you thought was a smart trick to kill her or something so nonsensical she wouldn’t imagine you doing it blows up in your face. It showers you with achievement notifications while degrading you and punching you while you’re down.
It rarely asks you why this is happening to you, why you are as trapped as the Princess is, in a timeloop, in harm’s way, in a toxic relationship. Why she put you there again and again and you (the player) have no choice but to harm or hug her. If the game takes itself seriously, it is fleeting and it forces you to act like you’ve forgotten and then remember it all when convenient, never delving on it or bothering you to explain the whys of what is happening.
Even here I’m honestly uncertain if I’m analyzing something that is not that deep or if I keep asking the wrong questions. Should I stop asking serious matters that happen when relationships are harmful, half expecting they’ll jokingly blow up in my face? Is this game more of a comedy than a horror? But I was sold on that “this was a love story”! Isn’t love horrifying? And I don’t just mean just visually, with its guts all over the floor, but existentially, like a newborn god who realizes he’s stuck in a universe with a Thing that loves him, and only shows her love through harm, only initializing genuinely loving interactions when the other person takes the first step. A god of immense power and he’s made to believe he is defenseless and unloved.
Is it wrong to ask if this is abuse? That this game doesn’t seem to care that it has portrayed an abusive relationship so perfectly yet it’s still repeating how charming and endearing the Princess is? I feel gaslit, and unheard when analyzing this. And when I’m being asked yet again which Princess is the hottest one, I can only think that there are truly worse things than being alone.
There's a direct tradeoff between how easy packers are to pee with and how good they looks soft in your pants. The EZP is very rigid and points up, whereas my freetom is very soft and is moulded pointing down. The EZP website says its "completely natural looking", which is completely true, but because it's hard and pointing up it obviously just looks like a boner.
Left is my freetom, with the shaft pointing left and up. And the right is my EZP in the same position. I'm actually quite hyped for how much it looks like an erect version of my usual one because that's nice and gender affirming etc.
And it's by far the best realistic stp I've ever had, by such a wide margin. Absolutely no flow control required, it's easy to position and aims perfectly straight every time. 10/10 for that. The stress of pissing through my freetom made it a bit dysphoria inducing so I usually just sat down. With this I stand 80% of the time and it just feels good.
But yeah, I don't want to have an erect dick all the time. I'd only worn it with my swim trunks (that I wear all the time as gym shorts) and it seemed fine, then we went to the supermarket and I was wearing trackies...
It's just really not appropriate tbh. I could mostly cover it with my jumper but I felt very self conscious and it was just a very very uncomfortable experience.
I've been wearing my jean shorts the last few days and it's just about okay in them.
But even there it still looks pretty conspicuous and pretty much all the time I'm wearing it I can feel how hard it is so I'm aware of it and self conscious of it, which is exactly the opposite of what I want from packer. As the weather gets colder I'll basically only be wearing trackies and I just can't wear this thing in them comfortably. So I'm going to have to get myself something else, or repair my freetom because it's about to tear.
I'm just surprised I've not come across this issue while looking at reviews, most people seem to rave about it. And to be fair, it does what is says on the tin excellently.
If anyone can recommend me a good and soft STP then please hit me up ✌️
There's been so much hype over this STP and honestly I am so very impressed with the maker. He started this business on his own and to the best of my knowledge, he's still continuing to do the majority of it on his own. That's designing and making the product and running the site and advertising. Honestly, I'm just so impressed. Especially with how quick it was delivered to me and how discreet the shipping was.
Now, first off I want to say that this product didn't work for me. But that isn't the fault of the product. Not really. It's more to do with my body shape and the like. I am not the kind to skip leg day, so I have thighs that could crush a watermelon... And a small silicone cock, apparently.
I just want to start this review with a Not Safe For Work warning. I will be talking about a penis prosthetic. An STP device (stand to pee ). So if you're at work or if you're around people who you don't want to see you reading a review about a silicone cock, best press the back button now!
Ok! Now that's out of the way, the STP I shall be reviewing is the Freetom Rogue 5.5 4in1 ( pack, pee, play and pleasure ).
Has anyone else placed an order with @eroticreations that’s taken months to get to them?? I ordered something back in July and it was only supposed to take a MAX of 8 weeks to get to me (this was a month before they posted about extended wait times of 14-16 weeks). It’s now 4 months later and I still don’t have it. They had put a notice on their website stating that they weren’t taken any orders right now so that they could catch up on previous orders buuuuut their website is back up and running and I still don’t have my order. I’ve been back and forth with them a few times and the last I heard was that they were having some personal issues and got behind on orders. Now they aren't responding at all. I understand that things happen and I've been very polite and patient, however, am I wrong in thinking they should have kept their site temporarily closed until all previous orders were fulfilled? Especially ones that have been waiting months? Am I the only one or is this happening to others?
The Emisil STP is a well-made product, and while I applaud them for delivering a quality product, I can only give it a personal satisfaction score of 60% after spending some more time with it. For me, the experience of emotionally connecting with the prosthetics just wasn’t there. It didn’t feel part of me. The colouring is nice but not exactly my skin tone (which is my bad, I should be another colour). The size is too big for comfort: it is simply not the size of an average flaccid penis, which leads to problems such as carrying a heavier weight. I had trouble keeping it adhered to the body, and difficulty whipping it out in the washroom when I am clothed. In my opinion, there are way too many packers out there that are overshooting sizes and compromising the functional aspects of the designs.
I do have to mention that I experience quite a bit of bottom dysphoria, so some of the negative energy I experience is projected into my feelings for the STP. I wished for something that would alleviate dysphoria for me and the Emisil didn’t quite do the trick.
