https://www.amazon.com/Resist-United-Transmasculine-Pride-Flag/dp/B07DLRXKY4 I've seen this used before but while I acknowledge the symbolism of having a pink (female) exterior but a blue (male) interior it still has the issue of the bright pink I want to avoid. Plus I don't like being associated with the term transmasc.
I think with the limited amount of colour symbolism available to depict the trans experience I doubt there'll ever be any good alternatives to the trans flag in any way. Just look at the transsexual flag, it looks even worse.
i don’t really like being hairy, though i am gay and fall into the twink category. i would say the hair doesn’t make me dysphoric (like say the way my hips do) but I feel like i look better and “cleaner” without it. Though new body/facial hair has also slowed down extensively since i started finasteride to save my hairline before it got too scary 😂
in terms of what i have already, i bought a IPL machine from amazon to use on my arm for phallo prep during lockdown, and it worked surprisingly well so i’ve been using it on my stomach and lower area too just to reduce shaving.
i also recommend an electric razor if you don’t already have on. not the ones with the spinny blades tho bc they can be a bit annoying for body hair. this is the one i have which is pretty good, the body groomer attachment is what you’re really looking for.
Does it really matter what you mother wants? You are in your 20s. You work. Go buy mens summer clothes and wear them. She doesn't have to like it.
If you don't want shorts you could get some 3/4 joggers and some blank T shirts. Around me I usually get some Gildan T's for a few bucks each. link
These chino shorts seem pretty unisex to me and they will cover your thighs. link
Yeah same, I can't relate to the flag at all it's just too feminine... Personally I'd be fine with it if it was even a little bit less pastel, like something like this https://snipboard.io/BeGfbq.jpg !
This is a normal feeling. Interacting with other trans people and just seeing them live their normal lives really helped me feel better about it. You could try local trans groups but that’s not for everyone I guess. Reading blogs of trans men and memoir type books helped too.
If reading is your thing (might have linked to the Canada site but it’s on American Amazon):
Manning Up: Transsexual Men on Finding Brotherhood, Family and Themselves https://www.amazon.ca/dp/149749219X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_VQ1BYF427GW8HGPEWE25
The book I linked really helped me through some of my shame around being trans. I remember it mostly representing straight men, but other than that it was pretty diverse and covered a lot of topics like fatherhood, coming out, race, finding community, etc.
I am dreading this same experience. As a girl riding a sport bike I was pretty noticeable. My mechanic knows me by name/bike. Hopefully I'll be able to get by with a simple "Yeah this is K___ with the ninja 636. Can I bring it in later this week. And by the way, I go by Zack now and I look different than when you last saw me." They're young hipster guys so I it should be cool.
For a similar experience, check out this article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/transgender-coming-out-weed-dealer_n_5ba55295e4b0181540dcee65
I started using safety razors a few years ago because the blades are cheap and don't irritate my skin. If you like cooling skincare products, you might like Proraso Shave Soap, which is super refreshing (it's got a little menthol in it) and smells great.
I used silicone scar strips on my scars. Any will work really but I used scar away strips ScarAway Advanced Skincare Silicone Scar Sheets, Silicone Scar Sheets for Body Scar, Surgical Scar, Burn Scar, Acne Scar and Keloid Scar Treatment, 12 Sheets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AJ4L1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C9422X52XPXBDARGNYMB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I just cut them in pieces and put them on my scars because they’re pretty big sheets. I only took them off to shower. They can be a pain in the ass to work out with because you’ll end up sweating them off 👎🏽 I also massaged them every night and every morning with coco butter. I did this for about a year. I kept them out of the sun light for two years. I think a lot of guys get too excited to expose their chests the first summer they get top which I understand because it was tempting but the rays from the sun can be damaging on scars and can cause permanent damage and make them darker. I still kept my scars moisturized after I stopped using the strips as frequently. So I’ll say I kept them out of the sun for 2 years, I did the silicone strips for a year and a half (I used them less frequently as time went on) and I kept them moisturized for 2 years. As time went on, they faded out. I stopped massaging them as much as well since alot of the scar buildup went away after 8 months and my scars started getting flat again. Nothing complicated but you gotta be consistent because it can be repetitive.
If you want something cheap to wade into the world of pumping, you can use those inexpensive nipple pumps you’ll see guys use on their t dicks.
https://www.amazon.ca/Size-Matters-Clitoris-Suction-Devices/dp/B00A8D7CUU
I really like this one it's the most comfortable one I've purchased. It also has two pouches inside for bullet vibes And you have the option to open and close the back of pouch depending on what you're using ie regular dildo (flat) versus one made for FTM (with hole or ridges for pleasure).
Whats best for you will depend on your body shape and size. Gc2b is more comfortable with one compression panel in the front, This makes it more stretchy but may not be good if you have a lot to bind. Under works is a rougher and all of its is made of the compression material. Less comfortable but offers stronger compression. Buy them with a gift card.
You can get Underworks on Amazon. They have this which can easily pass as a bra.
I got it on Amazon. I have sensitive skin. This one is only 1% glycolic. I would still apply a little to a small area on the inside of your arm first to test it. If that goes well test it on a small area of your face.
It says to leave it on for 10-20 minutes. The first I used it I only left it on for a few. It burned a bit and some reviews said that was normal but others didn't so I think that my vary person to person based on sensitivity and if your skin is dry. I worked my way up to 10 minutes.
Then I apply a lot of moisturizer for a few hours. I use a soap free facial cleanser to remove the moisturizer and apply an oil. Leaving moisturizer on can weigh down the hairs and make them ingrown.
Don't be fooled by the size names, the small is probably at least 4 inches. It's a nice packer and was my first.
I can't actually find the GenderCat sleeve anywhere online right now, but if I remember correctly, it was similar to the Bro Sleeve 2.0 (which is what I've been using for years). Pro tip: Once you can afford it, the Bro Sleeve wedged inside of the Buck Off is pretty great - feels good and tighter and gives a little suction.
edit: Apparently Cal Exotics has already ripped off the Buck Off
hey I'm 3 years on t and you do get to a point where you can wear skirts and pass :). it's mostly in the voice and fat distribution imo, if you're wearing a mask/baggy clothes people might theythem you but correct themselves when they hear you speak. the thing is you don't want to dress feminine in the way you were raised to. you need to forget everything you think you know and dress like an r/192 or r/mtf user and you'll pass perfectly. get the femboy arm warmers and everything that you think is "stereotypical trans woman trying to dress feminine for the first time" and you'll be good. I wouldn't recommend going all out with dresses until your voice passes at least but you can be just a feminine guy without ever getting misgendered.
of course that's just my opinion, do whatever you want
Nice! I'm vegan too btw.
Do you use something rough to wash your body? I highly recommend an exfoliating body cloth (something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Terra-Distribution-Exfoliating-Washcloth-Scrubber/dp/B08LN9G1ZK)
Also do you change binders and shirts every day? I also change my pillow cloth every day and wash my sheets once a week.
In my opinion it's better/easier to prevent acne than to treat it. I've had acne prone skin since I was like 12 (I'm 35 now) and my skin is the best condition it's ever been in (as long as I keep up my good habits). I moved to a dry location. I use a fragrance/dye free super gentle body wash for my body, face, and hair. I used an exfoliating face wash once or twice a week. I use a fragrance/dye free super gentle body lotion or SPF 30-70 lotion on my face. Besides the exfoliating face wash, I don't use any products marketed towards treating or preventing acne.
I think it really depends on what sort of guys you're around.
Quite a lot of the men on my college course were like that, conversation often kept coming back to "[insert lady here] is hot", incel BS, or "banter" - I didn't really fit in with them, but had a lot more in common with guys I met elsewhere.
Perhaps look for groups with shared interests outside of that group (meetup.com is good for that) so you'd have something in common besides just gender or being in the same class, I'm sure you'll find other men with more conversation that isn't either dull or degrading that way.
One thing I want to add here is that you really don't need to feel ashamed about this. You have a condition and you're receiving help for it, and hopefully it becomes easier to manage once you find the right combination. It isn't your fault and a better society would be structured to assist you without making you feel embarrassed.
That said, I would consider pausing your HRT until you've sorted our your wants and needs a little more. Testosterone won't make you look like a bear, it will make you look like a human man.
Maybe in the meantime, treating yourself to a cozy onesie could be a good coping mechanism. :) https://www.amazon.com/Fitted-Pajamas-Halloween-Cosplay-Costume/dp/B09939DYLF/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?keywords=bear+onesie&qid=1666792593&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI2LjAzIiwicXNhIjoiNS44MiIsInFzcCI6IjUuMTkifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Like other people are saying, have snacks on hand for medication and general nourishment. I also kept a JOURNAL of all the meds I was taking. It's easy to lose track of what you took and when, so this was EXTREMELY helpful.
The best thing I bought to prepare for surgery was a husband pillow. It doesn't have to be this exact pillow, there are similar pillows that cost less (surgery is hella expensive after all.) It's surprising how many muscles you use just to sit upright. Having a good pillow helps put less stress on your incisions as well. Back support is key, and having something like this is a lot easier than solving the puzzle of finding the perfect combination of assorted pillows for maximum comfort.
Use your post-op vest as instructed and follow your surgeon's recommendations to a T! Also, it's okay to call your surgeon's nurse with any concerns.
Last of all, congrats on your surgery! The difference it will make in your life is immeasurable. Be proud of yourself for achieving this goal. This is HUGE. Good luck with your surgery, and remember to take it easy.
If you’re willing to put up with a bit of itchiness for an hour after applying it (once a week), Odaban works miracles. It’s like sweat block wipes but stronger. Just make sure you follow the instructions on waiting at least an hour after shower before applying. It’s seriously the only thing that’s been strong enough for me.
The Masho fits the bill of fully 3D testicles and cheap. It's just not very good quality and is suuuuper squishy.
I wear a cup regularly for karate since we spar a lot. I’m around your height at 5’1” 110lbs and wear a small cup. I hate jockstraps so I get boxer briefs with a cup pouch from here I wear the boys large hence the small cup. If your waist is bigger than mine I’d recommend a medium cup, even if you fall under one of the larger mens sizes. A cup that is too big will dig into the sides of your groin and be bothersome to deal with.
Yeah, that's what they're marketed as. This is what you're looking for here:
or this here
Like I say, they don't have a great selection but these are the 2 that most people are buying so I assume that's why they've chosen to pick up just these couple. That place (LDN Trading) that is selling them on there I have bought from before and it was fine, they seem legit. (And they lost an order of 2 which was frickin' expensive and they were replaced)
People put baby powder on their genitals, but supposedly it's not recommended for afab because of the small chance it could cause ovarian cancer. However, I've been considering this product: Happy Nuts Comfort Powder (Link: https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Deodorizing-Anti-Chafing-Defense-Control/dp/B09GX2C6N2 )
I get wetness coming out of my groin area too (but it's sweat combined with other gross bodily fluids), and it's especially embarrassing because it smells horrible.
Hope this helps, OP, good luck!
I've been in the same position and needed something that'd ship fast and work.
I used just regular jockstraps like these:

Depending on the STP you have you can either cut a hole or just go over the waistband to pee.
Voice Pitch Analyzer has you read out excerpts from Portrait of Dorian Grey and shows you the pitch your voice is hitting, helped me a lot when I was first doing my voice training. Here is an android download link, here is the apple one.
I haven't used it myself but I've heard good things about this workbook for people exploring their gender! https://www.amazon.com/Gender-Quest-Workbook-Exploring-Identity/dp/1626252971?dplnkId=ab02c533-3dfc-40ac-ade3-7556f3f9bf78
take a look at this one, it works great for me! I have a large chest, however it would probably work better for someone smaller since I seem to slip around a bit. It's good for everyday activities but not so much running/jogging or other strenuous activities (which you shouldn't be wearing a binder for anyways) it tends to ride up and my chest ends up falling out the bottom if I run lol

Im a thick guy as well, tried plenty of expensive brands but hanes ended up being the best.
I got mine in a shop, but I found this one online that looks pretty good. It lets you choose the height when you buy! I find I normally only like one or two inches or my feet get sore. But this is the idea.

It's something others have delved into much more than i can fit into this box. Eg. https://www.amazon.com/<strong>Letters-My-Brothers-4th-Ed</strong>/dp/1312461144
But speaking with very broad brush strokes, i think things i often hear talking with other post-transition folks that we kinda take for granted that could be useful to others are...
I have a set of 2-10 lb dumbbells and use this app as I also hate the public gym spaces. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dumbbellworkout.dumbbellapp.homeworkout
The premium is pretty affordable and a one time payment. It does a good change up of routine each day and only takes 10-15 minutes per session.
For everyone dealing with excessive ass hair, etc., this Panasonic body hair trimmer is THE best thing. It's completely impossible to cut/nick yourself even with no guard, and the vertical v-shape of the trimming head makes it way easier to navigate. Waterproof to use in the shower, rechargeable.
These Wirarpa trunks (Amazon link) are what I mostly wear and they're quick drying/moisture wicking and don't hold on to odors. I bought another pack a week after I got them. They have briefs and boxer briefs too.
That sucks and I'm sorry you went through that.
This might be salt in the wound a bit, but the Marena binder is pretty much identical to some of the ones on Amazon that sale for about $20. I had the Marena one and had to return it, got one instead on Amazon that worked better, was nicer looking, and significantly cheaper. For the short use you'll get from it, totally better to go cheaper. Plus, I highly recommend getting a pair of binders so you can alternate them in the wash.
XUJI 3 Rows Central Clasp Chest Binder Tank Top https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W56XN5N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_RR8F7NKF5QV1AGAZ6YYW?psc=1
This is the one I got. Seems to be identical to the Dude Pruner I had as targeted ads on Facebook but half the price.
I was originally going to get the Dude Pruner since I’ve been getting targeted ads on Facebook for it for the last while. Then I realized it’s just the same thing as all the others on Amazon but painted black with a sticker. This is the one I ended up going with. It seemed to be near identical at half the price.
Yep- these ones work pre-meta if you have a significant amount of growth. The smallest size was actually too small for my dick to be comfortable. It’s a lot easier to use after meta once you have more mobility of the shaft.
User report: "Any anti MTF rhetoric will be removed and bans will be issued immediately." Obvious TERF trolling...
In the PSA I did say I would remove anti MTF rhetoric and ban immediately. When writing that I was specifically thinking of posts from TERFS.
Not that it's ok for anyone to post anti MTF stuff, but is pointing out the shitty actions of one trans women really anti MTF?
After looking through the post history of both users I have no reason to believe /u/astrofker or u/Sabrovitch is a TERF.

This is a sub for men. Sometimes men experience misandry. We should be able to talk about this.
Sometimes it comes from other trans people. There is a long history of of misandry being ignored in other trans spaces, I don't want to add to that.
I know a lot of people come here to avoid the drama that happens in mixed spaces. I can see how you guys may think this is just bringing the drama here. I can add a flair for content like this and a filter so these posts can be avoided.
Not yet but will update when I do.

I don’t :/ but I do know that I’ve tried at least 4 different kt / trans body tapes and they all have a slightly different formula so u should try as many as possible. There’s kt tape, generic drugstore kt tape, boob tape, trans tape, this this one which is my new favorite but only stays on me 1 day (my preference), stays on my friend for 3 days. Each persons chemistry is different.

I had one that was similar and it saved my life. You can't sleep on your side, but being able to easily sit up and lie down makes ya feel a lot more normal for a time, and these sorts of pillows also let you turn your head to the left and right (emulates turning over in bed, feels satisfying)
There are these things called heel grippers that increase your shoe size, might be good to get them and just use them together with your insoles
You could try a packing pouch on the Mr Limpy if it's irritating your skin. As far as just straight packers go (not STP) I really like the Calexotics packer but I also think it's not made of silicone, so it might not help you.
Locking this.
It has been expressed to me that hosting a conversation here about them feels like were talking about them behind their back.
Yeah they have very fucked up views about men and sex, but they are aware that these views are messed up and they are seeking help

You’re expected to stink after hours of manual labor.
I second the suggestion of a stroker. I like it because sometimes I don't want to touch my dick directly because of the surrounding area, and the suction feels really good. The one I use is the "Sexy Pills Green Feez" (I got it on Amazon) because it was cheaper than ones specifically for trans men but works really well for me.
In terms of sex blow jobs are great with lower growth ime so if you end up in a situation where you want to have sex that's something you could try.
There’s a book that might be of interest to you called Manning Up that’s all about navigating masculinity as a trans man:
You’ll want to invest in a quality water based lube, I’ve had the same experience. Personally I like Shibari, a 32oz bottle lasts a good amount of time, plus I like that it has a pump for dispensing

I second the Reelmagik ones and also the CalExotcis Packer Gear packer:
https://www.amazon.com/CalExotics-Packer-Silicone-Packing-Penis/dp/B07N4C26YP
They're both great.
Really, in the end, packers are easier and cheaper to buy than the STP devices and I've found that most simple packers I've bought have worked just fine no matter what. But if they don't, it's not like I'm out $200-500 like with an STP/packer.
I wear a jockstrap with my packer also a reelmagik. I have two varieties one is the sports jockstrap made for a protective cup to be inserted and the underwear type (mesh) with the packer against my body. They were all purchased on Amazon. Also if you are in between underwear sizes on the chart smaller will hold it in place better but do not go too small.

something that helped me make my packer feel more real was attaching it with see-through band. That way I could wear it swimming, in the shower, with boxers, etc. And it helped a lot to be able to look down and see it attached to me and swinging naturally. I bought mine in Germany but you can find similar stuff online like this https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Clear-Elastic-Wide-Yards/dp/B08682CNNZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=clear+elastic&qid=1626240808&sr=8-1
I attached one band around my waist (with two holes at the top of my packer) and then two bands going from each ball around my leg and attaching to the waistband.
What helped me the most was washing my face twice a day. In the morning I used a gentle cleanser (the Cetaphil one works well) and in the evening I used the Neutrogena benzoyl peroxide solid bar. I moisturize afterwards. If you don't it can make your face more oily because your skin is trying to compensate for the oils you just washed away. Anything is fine for this really. Cetaphil also makes a good Moisturizer. I use Eucerin with spf 30 (face not body) because I like sunscreen and the lotion isn't too oily. The tool that had helped the most has been a basic silicon vibrating brush. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cleansing-Silicone-Waterproof-Cleanser-Exfoliation/dp/B07P8ZD7GS/ref=asc_df_B07P8ZD7GS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343189730799&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16323704417440679014&hvpone=&hvptwo=&a...
It also helps to exfoliate once or twice a week. Too much can damage your skin and make it worse. Also try to keep in mind that it takes a while foe your face to adjust to a new routine, especially one with benzoyl peroxide. I'd start using it every other day, just to see how your face reacts, then move up to every day. It can and most likely will take a few weeks to see a real improvement, but stick with it ans I bet you'll see an improvement. Best of luck!
She might want to read the autobiography from Chris Edwards. He's a trans guy who explains his journey quite well and I think it's beneficial for cis people, especially those who are parents of a trans child, to read. He talks about his own parents reluctance about things and why he needed testosterone and phalloplasty. Amazon link to book.
I'm not of much help when it comes to finding other websites, but I do know there are some stps on amazon if you know where to look! Here's one, plus another one I've seen people use as beginners. Not the most high end ones of course, and I haven't used either so I can't give experiences with that, but I thought I'd share that they exist! You can also look at the suggested items from those listings and see if you can find anything else. The prepaid card idea that's been mentioned also works nicely if you can do that, it's how I got my first stp :)

hello again. i am not trying to spam you i promise haha. just saw this comment and had to chip in. i hope one day i will reach the same peace of mind as you have. the complexities of the FTM experience have definitely been...overshadowed for lack of a better term by the popularization of non binary narratives. which is a good thing, but i think nowadays there's a tendency for some to lump anything non-traditional under the enby umbrella which is not my cup of tea.
i'd be interested to know what old accounts you read. i read this book when i first came out as trans as a teenager and it helped me a lot. i think i am due for a reread.

I have 2 binders from this brand for couple months now and I would say this is an alternative to gc2b but won’t be exactly the same. I tried all of their half binders and their sizing are different (too small, too close to the armpits, kinda hard to put it on, the elastic band gets twisted). Overall, it’s good alternative since it’s only $20, fast shipping and free return.

I've been buying it off Amazon - I can send you a test strip or if you want you can pick some up here: https://smile.amazon.com/Removable-Transparent-Reusable-Traceless-Christmas/dp/B07XJRZBLR
There are a ton of various sellers, but 11 bucks for almost 15 feet is pretty cheap! You only need a very small piece - like maybe an inch? and you can reuse the tape a couple of times per strip.
Either way works - just let me know if you'd like a small test strip!
I had the same problem. I bought this plastic thing on amazon. And it’s more like an STP but imagine the dick is horizontally cut in half, so the piss can never be over flowed. I’ve been using this, and it works perfectly. Just cant really conceal it as well as an stp, and I just leave it in my pocket. Never had this leak before, and you don’t even need to worry about tp with it.

They are indeed nipple pumps. I just bought the standard one that I linked in my original comment. I've never measured myself but with two years of bottom growth, I can still pump with it. As far as a wider one impacting suction, I think it's just going to depend on your anatomy, so idk.

I think in general when it comes to kinsiology tape for some reason anything that sounds name brand isn't healthy to use. So ironically I think its best to stick to generic brands for it.
(sorry for butting in but) I have a suggestion for the itchyness complaint, I use a kinsiology tape that is hypoalergenic and latex free, which cured the itchyness problem for me (minus maybe a bit of itchyness when first put on or when it needs to be changed) what I use is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLYP6Q1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Scifi and fantasy:
Transcendent anthologies volumes 1-4, each a collection of SFF short stories by and/or about trans people, including many trans men.
Every Heart a Doorway has a trans male supporting character.
I love these adult bathing wipes:
Medline MSC095100 ReadyBath LUXE Antibacterial Body Cleansing Cloth Wipes, Scented, Extra Thick Wipes (8 Count Pack, 24 Packs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005PUTH2M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_2xBBFbRMZ93GR
They’re very gentle and antibacterial; I have pretty sensitive skin but haven’t had any bad reaction to them. They’re Lightly scented with a non gender-specific ‘fresh from the shower’ scent that dissipates quickly. The cloths are super thick and soft kind of like felt; they’re not like typical baby wipes at all, they use these in hospitals to bathe bedridden patients.
The listing above is for a case of 24 packs of 8 cloths; the way they typically use them is to put the whole pack in the microwave for a few seconds before use and use up the 8 cloths for the whole body. In my experience the cloths are thick and very saturated, I only need about 4 to do a thorough job including butt, feet, face etc. they really do a good job of removing body odor.
If you find that you can't afford a therapist or want some help outside of the office, Dara Hoffman Fox has a pretty good book designed to help you navigate yourself at your own pace: https://www.amazon.com/You-Your-Gender-Identity-Discovery/dp/1510723056
I bought these after mine and they were amazing - FunkBlock Body Wipes: Large Shower Wipes Ideal for Hygiene, Body Cleansing, Camping Wipes, Gym & Travel. No Rinse Bathing Wipes with Aloe and Vitamin E. Bag of (10) Unscented, Individually Wrapped https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MN1X9M6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_FYCqFbXZJDQG8
What do you consider a high number? Can you count calories? Getting something like these meal portion control containers might be a good idea if you cant.
If that dosen't work out there is this which can pass as a bra.

I have two of these binders in size large that I would like to give away. They have a zipper because my surgeon recommended I continue using compression for a few weeks after top surgery to improve my results, so if you have a hard time with a binder that you’d pull over your head, this may be helpful. I wore the white one a few times, but it’s clean, and the black one is new and still in its packaging. Please message me if you’d like one!
Not sure what your budge is, but Glenor make some really sleek ones.
I bought these stacking ones for myself. Sometimes the drawers do stick a bit, but it feels high quality and I love how it looks on display
I want to buy this one. It looks awesome closed. They have a lot of styles on amazon and most of them are classy and masculine.
While the athlete's foot stuff was more appealing I decided to order stuff for that area.
I have Amazon Basic Care Miconazole 3, Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream (4%), 3-Day Treatment

And Monistat Care Instant Itch Relief Cream

But it's only mildly uncomfortable right now should I wait for it to get worse? I'm afraid if I use it too soon it will throw things more out of wack.
Do you know if taking antibiotics with yogurt can cancel each other out a bit? Is there a way to time taking them to maximize befits? Like is the antibiotic killing the good bacteria from the yogurt in my stomach if they are mixing together in there?
You should check out Spouti™! It seals around your uretha so you have zero leaks and you never have to wipe after you pee. Https://myspouti.com
I then suggest checking out a lightweight penis extension sleeve from Amazon, something like this https://www.amazon.com/ARNDRE-Longer-Enhancer-Extension-Extender/dp/B089FSKVDK
The key is thin walls, solid tip (you cut a hole in it for the tube). Amazon has a variety of sellers who make different skin tones, and they are like $20
It makes a cheap combo that felt very similar to how it feels to be post op phalloplasty (I'm my experience)
I was thinking more like this one:
( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FINTS4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rx8bEbQJHFFVM)
That's just an example tho, there other more affordable prices is you look around. Just search for "wedge pillow" .

And if you wanna see my voice journey in action, I have a public Google drive folder with monthly updates and an updated voice pitch chart: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-ARrsCDI3-1ZFtjCYZUetQjlk19fUK0F
I have this one. I really enjoy all the card spots and the two ID holders, pretty good size overall. I really love that it’s got two separated folds to put cash. I use the second one for holding receipts or folded up important papers. I’ve had it for about six months now and it still holds up pretty well, looks almost new still.
What spot works best will vary person to person. Once you pick a place you can numb the area with ice first. Vibration can help too.
There are products for this like Buzzy
There are also alcohol pads that have an anesthetic.
Even though I don't grow my beard out I sometimes look at products for it on Amazon.
I would try this. link
I got this one from Amazon when I needed one quick: https://www.amazon.com/JARAZIN-Tomboy-Elastic-Colors-Binder/dp/B075XSKK4M?keywords=ftm%2Bbinder&qid=1535826679&sr=8-3&ref=mp_s_a_1_3&th=1&psc=1
It's $18 and works, but not nearly as nice as the gc2b binders. Also sizing was super weird but I followed their instructions and got a good size on the first try. Good luck!
