'''Packing''' is a term that refers to the practice of wearing padding or a specialized object in the front of the pants or underwear so that it seems that the wearer has a penis. This is often practiced by [[AFAB]] people who wish to present as male. These objects range from just a rolled-up sock stuffed in the underpants to a specialized medical object that is attached to one's body using medical glue. | <translate>'''Packing''' is a term that refers to the practice of wearing padding or a specialized object in the front of the pants or underwear so that it seems that the wearer has a penis.

There are many types of packers, but they can be divided into three categories: | There are many types of packers, but they can be divided into three categories: | ||
* Makeshift packers: These are just pieces of cloth (normally socks) that are stuffed in the underpants to create a bulge. They are not realistic but are free and easy to make. In order to avoid the packer slipping from its place, small clips can be used to attach it to the underwear. | * Makeshift packers: These are just pieces of cloth (normally socks) that are stuffed in the underpants to create a bulge.

* Stand-to-pee packers: STP devices are packers that allow their wearer to pee while standing up, for example using a urinal. Since some cis women use them too, they are not always shaped like a penis, but some sellers offer them in this shape too. It's definitely the best option for maximum realism. | * Stand-to-pee packers: STP devices are packers that allow their wearer to pee while standing up, for example using a urinal.

Packing is not a requirement to transition, nor is it required in order to be read as male. In most day-to-day situations, crotch bulges are not obvious, so packing would not make that much of a difference. However, in situations where the crotch is more exposed, packing is a safer option. Some of these situations may include swimming, wearing tight pants (especially when laying on your back) and wearing cycling leggings. In these situations, the lack of a crotch bulge could be quite telling. | Packing is not a requirement to transition, nor is it required in order to be read as male.

Another important part of packing is making sure it does not move out of place, or even fall from your underpants. A possible option is using clips or velcro to attach it to the underpants. Most male underwear is designed to have a bulge, so the packer will fit just right. However, there is also specialized packing underwear, which is specifically designed to hold a packer. There are various models of packing underwear, with different designs and prices. | Another important part of packing is making sure it does not move out of place, or even fall from your underpants.
