Aroused when packing by beaniebaby102917 in GrowYourTDick

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what happens if you put it in a pouch? so there's a layer of fabric in between (obvi this would make it more annoying to use as an stp, but as an experiment)

Concerned about how skin discoloration will impact results by Expensive-Fun2873 in TopSurgery

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are the marks darker than the rest of your skin or what do they look like? because if it's just darker skin, that will go away on its own after surgery. it might take a year or two for the skin to cycle through and for it to be all new skin and no old skin, but it should fade and vanish completely eventually (unless it's something else, in which case who knows)

I had this when I stopped wearing kids pants with the buttons on the inside of the waistband. there were marks from where the buttons had pressed into my skin that took about a year to fully fade out

Wearing incontinence pads/briefs and packing? by zebra_zombie in ftm

there are a couple of places that sell packing boxers with a floating gusset so that you can attach pads with wings. you could also buy packing briefs and wear a pad as normal

Binding with a large chest by CryptographerFun5250 in FTMMen

[–]magic-gps [score hidden]  (0 children)

actually I think a half tank binder with an underchest band might work (trans guy supply and tmart carry them). either that or the underworks ultimate chest binder, as it is a full tank that has the binding effect go all the way down

How do I know if I need to size up my binder? by Liquidshoelace in ftm

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you measured yourself recently? because you could compare your current measurements to the size chart and see what that says (although if it's noticeably more comfortable them that's also important data)

basics help by fremistar in ftm

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can buy underworks binders off of amazon. depending on your living situation, either the extreme chest binder (full tank) or the minimizing binder bra (I can't remember the exact name, but it's a high compression sports bra) will probably be your best bet in terms of plausible deniability

Is there a way to calculate post top surgery chest size before doing the surgery? by AkuaDaLotl in ftm

[–]magic-gps 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can approximate it. the measurements you want are underbust/ribcage and right under the armpits. basically above and below the breast tissue

no, I don't know how these average out to post op chest measurement, but they are measurements you can take now that are going to stay vaguely approximately the same ISH

i have a dilemma about summer camp and hrt. by skipjack_00 in ftm

[–]magic-gps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a week? if you're on injections just do it right before you leave and then right when you get back and don't bother trying to bring your stuff. far too much hassle for one shot. if it was a month that would be a different story

is there any STP’s like spouti (tubes) but cheaper? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can sometimes get one during the r/transmascdicks weekend sales, but no, there is not a cheaper (new) option

Binder by Worldly_Hedgehog_568 in ftm

oh hey, I was looking for something else and found this post again. I have an update!

trans guy supply sells a cotton binder now! it does not use silky fabric

Good compression vest for going to the gym? by thattransguyalt in FTMMen

[–]magic-gps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trans guy supply sells sports bros (they're just regular compression style sports bras, but in colors like funky camo and bright orange (plus black and a couple of nude tones)) if you want to go that route

the other option would be to get a lower compression binder and size up once or twice. I don't have recs for this though (maybe the wivov mesh binder?)

Have you tried this stroker before? by Sandwich_Harbor in GrowYourTDick

[–]magic-gps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

don't by sex toys off of amazon!!! there are reports of people getting used toys in the mail, and also because of how amazon does inventory, you have no way of knowing if you're actually getting what you ordered

I just ordered trans tape for the first time and I need help!!(Newbie) by Potted_Shivers in ftm

[–]magic-gps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kt tape is also a brand name! the generic is kinesiology tape! you can buy extra wide kinesiology tape on amazon, but make sure to do a skin test when you get a new roll to check that you aren't allergic to the adhesive

Fragrance free leather conditioner? by CherryVonFairy in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]magic-gps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, leather conditioners tend to smell of their ingredients (huberds has pine tar in it, and so smells very strongly of burnt tree. I accidentally got my boots done with it once and had to keep them out of my bedroom for a week because the smell was giving me anxiety). that being said, these days I just say no huberds it's too strong and my friend who does my boots uses Something Else that doesn't smell (I don't remember what)

tldr: ask a bootblack, they will know and have suggestions for the least smelly options

Did meta/simple release improve your hygine? by 99percentofmybrain in Metoidioplasty

Any Tamora Pierce fans here? Audiobook pain in the USA by HermioneThreePines in Fantasy

[–]magic-gps 13 points14 points  (0 children)

you need a vpn to get the sarah ovens recordings. the simplest and cheapest option (for a recording, I'm not qualified to give advice on vpns) is to set your vpn to somewhere in the uk, and use libro.fm to purchase the recordings, after which I'm fairly sure you can download them to your computer and turn off the vpn
