How to Choose Your First Packer
Choose a first packer around what you want to do with it. A soft packer creates a shape under clothing. An STP adds a bathroom function. A pack-and-play is designed for both wearing and penetration. Those extra functions affect firmness, weight, and price.

Start with everyday wear
If you want a bulge in your clothes, compare soft packers first. Compare the complete dimensions and weight, including the base. Product photographs can make a small and a large model look similar when each fills the frame.
Think about your usual clothes and where you want the packer to sit. There is no single beginner size that fits every body or desired profile.
Add functions deliberately
An STP needs a cup that fits your body and a clear path for drainage. It also takes practice. If peeing standing up is your main reason for buying, use the STP buying guide.
A pack-and-play needs enough structure for penetration, so it will feel different from a soft packer in clothing. Compare packing-only and pack-and-play designs before paying for both functions.
Include the support in your budget
Check how you will hold the packer in place. You may need a pouch, packing underwear, or a compatible strap. Do not assume your existing underwear will support every shape equally well.
Read the material and care information, along with the return policy, before ordering. A realistic finish and comfortable fit are separate considerations; the right color cannot compensate for a shape that presses when you sit.
Browse the packer collection with those requirements in mind. Once it arrives, our wearing guide covers positioning and testing the fit at home.
