Now all I can think about is getting my hands on (ha!) one of these prosthetics.

I wish I were getting paid sooner so I could order right now, but unfortunately you’ll all have to wait a few weeks + shipping time for the review due to my funds already being allocated for boring things such as rent, food and bills.

However I will say that I have made a few inquiries already and the customer service is not only rapid, but fantastic.

In the mean time, check out http://www.freetomprosthetics.com/ and oogle over the apparent awesomeness.

Has anyone bought one of those “Locker Room” prosthetic (specifically the STP ones, more specifically the uncut model)?

I only just heard about them and am curious.

My Gen1 peecock seems to be on it’s last legs. Bit unfortunate, but I have had this thing for a couple of years and used it every single day, so I’d say that’s a good track record.

Looks like I’ll need to invest in the Gen2 at some stage.

I hate adjusting to a new packer, even if it’s the same model as a previous one. They always need a “wearing in” period – like a new pair of shoes almost.

(1) Hey, thanks for answering yesterday. I understand how STP factors into the equation; I use one too and have been on T for well over a year now. I have also been with the same woman for five years. That’s why I would have expected my bottom dysphoria to wane much in the way that yours has, and to a degree, it has. But, there are a multitude of things that cannot be satisfactorily approximated without surgery; urinating while standing being the one I chose to mention yesterday. I just can’t…

(2) force myself not to think about how “it’s not the same.” That’s the thought that always goes through my head with almost everything that has to even do with down there or anything that I might do to cope with the fact that there something wrong there (using STPs, packers, etc; even just getting ready in the mornings with those things), “It’s not the same; you’re not the same.” That’s all I can seem to think, even when I actively think that I’m pretty much the same as any other guy except…

(3) for the defect with which I was born (and I really do think that), I can’t ignore the fact that I was born different; that that has an effect, and that that effect is not a major thing to the identity of a human being as male. I can’t shirk the knowledge that no matter what I do or what surgeries I have; I will never be the same as a cis male, and that there are millions of things that they experience that I never will. and furthermore, that there are things that I experience that a…

(4) cis male never has and never will. Sorry that was so long. Also, you answer seemed to assume that I am newly trans or new to this realization; that is not the case. I consider you a resource as being at a place in your transition to which I hope to get in mine; I was hoping you would have some insight as to how you got there.

Hey. Thanks for messaging me again.

I don’t know what to say other than the fact that my bottom dysphoria has not waned, in any way – I am just more readily able to distract myself from it and have found ways which I can escape the dysphoric cycle with regards to packing. I sleep with it, I shower with it, it really never leaves me. My own Father hasn’t got a “properly” functioning penis, and he’s spoken to my Wife about how he reconciles that. I figure if he’s able to do so, maybe I could too. So I began working on ways to lessen my dysphoria.

No, you will never be a cis male. And I commiserate with your disappointment/resentment surrounding that issue, but it’s unfortunately something that we have to grapple with due to our conditions.

I’m not entirely sure how I sounded as though I was assuming you were newly transitioned? I don’t understand how you could have taken my answer that way. I was sharing with you the ways in which I lessen my own lower dysphoria.

I can’t outline any way in which I’ve managed to reach a point where I don’t think about my transness anymore. There isn’t “one thing” that I’ve done, but a series of things after some heavy self reflection.

I do believe being so busy has a lot to do with it; I am around cis males for the majority of my working days (very hetero-centric, bigoted ones mind you) and when I am at home I am constantly on the go; looking after my Son and doing chores. The only times I sit down are right before I go to sleep, and then I’m usually on my phone looking at tumblr.

One thing I did was (other than this, separate blog) unfollowed ALL trans-related blogs on my personal tumblr. I found I’d be triggered by seeing all those relatable dysphoria riddled posts, and simply omitting them from my life worked quite well.

SUBMISSION:

I received the following as a submission:

I got a ‘store bought’ packer and like you felt it was a waste of money. I started experimenting and making these. I drop them into my boxer briefs that I have modified to hold them. I buy just regular old WalMart brand boxer briefs (frugal) and sew around the fly area to make an enclosed pouch of it. I left a small opening in the fly to put the packer in and out. It looks so good that I am totally confident stripping down to just my underwear around any other man, even the guys in the locker room that know I’m trans. I did a lot of visual research (checking out the competition) online of bio-men (biological men) in underwear and mine passes for theirs. It has a soft, bouncy look and feels incredibly comfortable. Frugal frugal frugal. Since it never touches my body directly (it’s inside the pouch) I only make a new nylon cover very seldom. I also have made different sizes for various reasons. Pretty much a drop it in and forget it thing and it looks good in underwear, pants, sweatpants and shorts. For my boxer style swim suit I have one that hangs off a harness inside the suit. Simple, comfortable and for me frugal.

Hey dude, awesome page. I will be following as I plan to be a dad some day and it’s nice to see someone going through that process as a trans man before me! I just got one of the new tsw stp packers and like it better than my peecock (which felt cheap and broke)… Check out my page if ya like :)

Hey, thanks for the kind words – glad this blog is useful to some.

I also appreciate the recommendation regarding the TSW STP; but I’m not currently in the market for a new STP.

I’ve had my current Generation 1 Peecock for approximately 4 years, using it every single day and it’s only recently begun to wear away and begin to break – not really even break just more wear away from friction. Four years of continual use has far exceeded the lifespan I thought the product would originally have, so I haven’t really had anything negative to say with regards to the longevity of my particular Peecock. They do however leave something to be desired in terms of realism – but that’s a compromise I’m willing to take as it does what I want it to in all other areas.

Edit:
I just researched the TSW STP’s and unfortunately the reason I’m so enamored with the Peecock is it’s 3-in-1 ability to become a hard prosthetic without having to switch “equipment”. The ease of use for an STP and/or packer is simply a bonus for me.
