I want to start packing with an STP-type packer, but I have no idea how/where to start. How do you get it to be comfortable, stay in place, and not leak? What type of packer do you use and what are your methods around it? Any recommendations/general advice?

    Five months later and I’m finally ready to buy one. I’ve been checking transguysupply and they’re out of stock of both harnesses and STPs for my skin tone. Do you have recommendations for other sites I could try? $100 is my budget for an STP and harness combined. I just want something to pee with that I can take with me on week long wilderness trips and be comfortable/natural looking.

      Rodeoh has a decent assortment if you want to see STPs from a bunch of different makers, as does Tool Shed

      (Note: That $15 STP on Tool Shed may seem tempting, but it looks exactly like the one I got years ago at a local sex shop. It’s hot trash, you’re better off saving your money)

      If it were me, I’d probably suggest the Junior or Willy STP on Rodeoh, mostly because I personally prefer that cup style and a smaller shaft. STPs tend to either have a diagonal-style cup, or a more horizontal-style cup, and I feel like I’ve had more success with the horizontal type, but maybe that’s just me.

      Axolom also has really good STPs, but they’re going to cost more. I mentioned the Squire in my last comment, but since then they’ve the Godor and I’m pretty intrigued.

      As for harness, I’d still suggest Cake Bandit. Rodeoh also has a similar STP jock, but I’ve never used it so I can’t really vouch for it

        Thanks man. I really appreciate it. It feels a lot less daunting to find an STP now.

        Transguy supply is out of all the dark colors for the cake bandit harnesses in my size. Do you know of any other resellers that carry cake bandit harnesses? Also, how many harnesses do you recommend owning?
