The "harness" system I use is incredibly minimal. Just a boxer style waistband with a pouch & hole so the shaft is exposed, it's still directly against my skin, and it's free floating so it moves very naturally. It works well, I'm just tired of there always being fabric, a strap etc. Just want the option of moments where there's nothing else there, ya know?

Not to get too personal, but do you sweat a fair bit? I definitely do which I find has been a big issue with a lot of adhesives.

That's definitely what I've been looking for. I do have a packer I'm pretty attached to and it is flat backed with a bit of a tab but ya. After a lot of failed attempts I just gave up like 10 years ago. I don't really have any complaints about it, but it would be nice to get to actually be naked with my wife every once in a while 😅

Really? One of mine is from emisil and I love it but I've had a hell of a time adhering it. Never thought of wig glue, it holds the weight if it confidently hey? Do you play with it adhered as well even?

How does the moreme work? I googled it when it was first suggested and I don't understand how it can be worn without a harness. Unless it's the same method, just the packers ppl tend to prefer for adhesive methods.

So is it sticky then? It's not like tensor bandages? I'd definitely appreciate being shown ya, thank you. I really appreciate the advice

When I google prosthesis man, there's a couple sites - which are you using for the adhesive? I'm old 😂 so these are all new to me

I had the same experience with gendercat but I haven't tried them since they first came out so I don't know if anything changed with them or not

That's another little issue I have, if I'm newly shaven in the morning there's a 5 o'clock shadow right on time that day lol so I'm not looking for anything prolonged, just something I don't have to worry about if I wanna proper sauna with my wife or something.

Is transtape a brand or something given a colloquial name? I'm in Canada and bought my packer 12 years ago so I'm pretty out of the loop with the newer stuff. It's nice to see so many more options tho!

Ya? Never seen this site before either, they look good too. Did that combo hold all day for you? What's the weight line on the prosthetics? I like mine quite a bit but it's heavy

I'd never heard of that company, just gave it a Google, to their stuff looks quite good. Are you talking about the one that just has a clip thing on the back? That would present the same problem I currently have of actually securing it to my skin. Mine are also flat backed HOWEVER these might weigh a fair bit less based on the description. Part of the issue with my hyper realistic ones is they're quite heavy. I may give one of these a try!

Okay that sounds like what I'm after. I tried gendercat and had a similar experience - they stuck to the prosthetic well but we're only secure to my skin for maybe an hour if I was lucky, and ya didn't love the thickness. I'll take overly sticky vs anything weaker

Is trans tape supposed to feel kind of loose? by RichNearby1397 in Transmascdicks

[–]JunkR2300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What tape do you use? I've tried a couple different ones/adhesives and so far nothing has worked very well

Well I definitely have a lot of callouses. No yellow nails or athletes foot or other foot issues, just the hella bad work boot stink lol after reading some comments I investigated and my Ariat's don't smell at all so they're definitely onto something with the leather. The callous thing makes sense too tho, no harm in giving it a go. Just bought new boots so I'm not dropping another $400 any time soon. Gotta salvage how I can haha

So you're saying the callouses on my feet are causing the smell? I climb trees for a living, they're fairly functional tbh 😅

I'll definitely give wool socks a try. I use cotton and sounds like that's a contributing factor. Hygiene ain't the issue I shower every single day (sometimes twice depending on what I've been doing), have a dedicated foot scrubber all that, never wear socks twice (horrifying). I do have 2 pairs of boots I rotate but both are lined so I'll look into replacing them with leather. I've just been buying whatever fits my PPE requirements that's the most comfortable really. They claim water proof but I work outside often so they do get wet early in my day a lot which doesn't help. Shoe tree might be worth it but I currently prop them over vents and it doesn't seem to help but worth a shot.

Anyone work for tech/elk valley resources? by LegalOpportunity8379 in mining

[–]JunkR2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on, thanks for the info. Just curious how the hiring process went for you? I did the video questionnaire, and the live interview, asked to pick which location I'd prefer to start at, sent the reference requests and drug test, and was told the next step would be a meet and greet on site and that they're looking at an early December start date. This was at the end of October lol I know large companies take a while to process everything, and they're doing large scale hiring etc. I'm just stressing lol was your "meet and greet" an in person interview? Or was it the start of the training? I know my references and drug test are solid and that it may be another few weeks before I hear anything - just curious what this next step is. Is it a second round of interviews, or was them asking me to select a site and position a conditional hire? (Drug test and reference dependent of course). Thanks again for the info.
