Shilo or Carter: Comparing Size and Use
Shilo and Carter both have a soft silicone exterior, firmer inner silicone, and a posable core. Carter is the larger option. Choose around the size and use you want, rather than treating one as a required next step after the other.

Wearing it before play
Shilo is designed for pack-and-play use: you can position it under clothing and then reposition it for play. It has a listed insertable length of 6.25 inches. How discreet it looks depends on the clothing, harness, and placement.
If you mainly want a soft packer for long days, compare that with a dedicated packer before deciding. The soft packer versus pack-and-play guide covers that tradeoff.
Choosing the larger toy
Carter has a listed insertable length of 7.25 inches and a fuller shape. Its size makes it harder to conceal under clothing. Consider it for the larger toy you want to use, rather than expecting it to wear like a small everyday packer.
Check current measurements against a toy you already find comfortable. Product photos and descriptions such as “two fingers” are less useful than a measurement. If a dimension is unclear, ask us to confirm it before ordering.
Check the harness connection
The two toys do not necessarily use the same O-ring. Match the opening to the attachment area and make sure the base stays securely behind it. The O-ring guide explains what to measure.
Both toys use the same general layered construction, but that does not make their fit interchangeable. For how the soft outer layer and posable core differ, see dual-density silicone explained.
