Need Advice Jockmail vs MyPack

I'm looking for some help with packing garments.

Historically I haven't packed often because I usually wear sweats or basketball shorts, and don't like how prominent a packer is in those for everyday wear. I bought the smallest silicone packer I could find because I'm a small, fairly slim guy, and any bigger just looks like I have an erection, and that is not the look I'm going for in most circumstances.

However, I've been wearing jeans a bit more often, and actually really don't like wearing jeans without packing. That being said, just dropping the packer in my underwear is not an option with the boxer briefs I usually wear.

I've tried packing boxer briefs with the built in pouch. They're OK, except that tumble drying them shortens their useful life too much, but air drying them, specifically the pouch area, doesn't work in my cold, often damp climate.

I've tried an elastic packing harness. Did not like, was not comfortable. I don't think there is a version of that product that I would like.

I've tried MyPack packing pouch. I like it to an extent, but last time I ordered from them, fraudulent charges showed up on my credit card. The bank handled it no problem, but it makes me not want to order from them again.

What I haven't tried, is a simple, old school jock strap. I've heard that they can work, and I've heard that Jockmail is a good option, but I'm looking for more detail from guys who have used a jock strap to hold a packer in place. I would in most cases probably wear boxer briefs over the jock strap, but would ideally like to be able to just wear the jock strap under jeans or even sweats/shorts if I felt like it.

The main things I'm looking for in a packing garment/device are comfort, breathability, and ease of air drying in a cold climate.

What do you think fellas? Am I crazy? Are there other, better options out there that I haven't heard of? Any advice is welcome.

Ok. I have packing briefs, boxer briefs and jockstraps. I can't for the life of me remember the company that made my oacked, but it's ran by a single FTM guy who actually custom orders them and customozes the color, backing etc.

If you want to try to see if a jock strap will work, go to Walmart or some other sporting goods store and buy a single jock strap from the sporting goods dept with a pocket for a cup. The pocket holds most small packers.

If that works, great. Then feel free to try the other brands, and you spent like $10 to see if it works for you. If not, you're out $10 and know it's not for you.

I had a close seamstress friend put pockets into regular jock straps for me. Works wonders for what I need. I don't wear them every day but do wear them enough that having a permanent pocket in each is a game changer.

Bornwear.co was the website, Mac is the owner. I'm pretty sure I have the colt, it's small and fits my body size

I thought Bornwear went out of business a few months ago?

When packing with jeans I often just wear basic-bitch Hanes briefs. Initially bought them to wear with pads while recovering from hysto but they work reliably well for this purpose.

Also find that most jocks designed for cis men will hold a packer just fine, especially with jeans where movement is restricted.

If going to an underwear night where I want to be assured my packer won't show, get awkwardly mispositioned, or fall out, I really like my cake bandit packing jock.

I have recently started using mens trunks and boxer briefs with a pouch for the junk. For me, they hold the packer as well or better than anything sold specifically for packing. I've tried this with Calvin Klein and Lacoste so far and loving it.

I’ve worn boxer briefs and the packer slides around. I ended up sewing some on the edge of the openings so it’s tighter and the packer doesn’t move around or slide out. I just hand sewed it. Not the best sewing job but no one is looking at it except me so it’s fine lol

Also, I should add that I have a MyPack for my STP. I don’t wear it often bc even tho it’s smaller, I still look like I have an erection. So sometimes I use the same one for my Mr Limpy. It helps it sit at a more natural place in my underwear. Otherwise it sits higher which doesn’t at all help with attempting to have a more natural looking bulge.

I liked Cake Bandit for packing underwear, I had a packing jockstrap from them too and it was comfortable to wear alone or under regular boxers. Jockmail runs like 1 or 2 sizes small ime

I, just recently, ordered and received the Clip Harness. I’m trying it out. So far, it works great to wear my tight-fitting underwear over my prosthetic.
I’m still test driving it.
