Review: Buffalo Trunk for packing

Buffalo trunk

 Specs

Type: boxer trunks for packing

Size: Small (28/30), Medium (32/34), Large (36/38), XLarge (40/42)

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

Colors: Red, Purple, Blue

Price: $32.95 for a mulit-pack of 2 boxer trunks (one solid & one print)

Pros: soft, nice design, cool print, holds packer in place well

Cons: can’t think of any

Packaging

My Buffalo Trunk came in a plastic bag with a label on the front stating what was enclosed.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The tag on the trunks says “Machine wash, Do not Bleach, Tumble Dry Low Heat”. Personally, I machine wash and hang to dry. I hang to dry so the elastic of the waist band and ball cage last longer (I hang all my underwear to dry, not just these)

FTM Depot is a “One-stop shop for transitional and packing products”. They have many styles of underwear, harnesses, soft packs, penis pumps, STPs, as well as all the materials to make your items!

Bullet Brief modification and Ball cage

I received the purple print Buffalo trunk for review. First off, let me say the print is really cool!!! I received a size Small and they fit perfectly. The Buffalo trunk is a low rise trunk with a shorter leg length than boxer briefs.

My Buffalo trunks came converted by Bullet Briefs ™ for a soft packer. This “pocket” is sewn on the inside of the trunks, is grayish in color and has a “Bullet Briefs” tag. Don’t worry, the tag is directly on the “pocket” therefore you won’t notice it at all when wearing these! The Bullet Briefs ™ has a circular opening that is reinforced with stitching and that is where you’ll place the shaft of your packer. Attached to this is the “free ball cage” where your balls go. The free ball cage is made of black nylon/spandex and fit my packer perfectly. Being that the “pocket” and ball cage are made of fabric and elastic will reduce the wear and tear on your packer!

I’m used to having to wear a packing strap under my boxers so I really appreciated eliminating the strap! These Buffalo trunks converted by Bullet Briefs ™ held my packer in place very well and gave me a nice bulge.

with 3.5" Mr. Limpy packer in place

These trunks are designed for use with a regular packer and also, a STP packer.

Not only do you have 3 color options but you have 3 style options:

  1. Free Ball insert- made of nylon/spandex, has a fabric ring, the ball cage is      made of elastic

  2. All-In-One- a nylon/spandex pocket with an opening halfwaydown and has a fabric ring on the front. You can leave the packer shaft in the pocket or pull it through the fly. The balls rest inside the lower portion of the pocket.

  3. Jock Pocket- similar to the All-In-One but is top loading and has no back side. This one is not for use with STPs. 

I am very happy with the Buffalo trunks from FTM Depot. They let me pack without an added strap and that is a huge convenience! I like the feel and design of the trunks. I am extremely pleased with these and I really like the way Bullet Briefs™ converted them for use with packers and STPs!

Review: RodeoH Boxer Brief Harness

Specs

Type: boxer brief harness

Size: XS ( 23-24), SM (25-26), MED (27-29), LG (30-32), XL (33-35), also available in Plus sizes!!

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

Price: $49.00

Pros: soft, multiple sizes, boxer brief style, comfortable, stretchable built-in O-ring

Cons: if you prefer dildos larger than 2” in diameter and/or longer than 5” – 6” then this isn’t going to work, can ride up

Packaging

The RodeoH harness came wrapped in a cellophane bag and was in the cloth drawstring bag. Also included was a dog tape with “RodeoH” embossed on it.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Machine wash and hang to dry

I reviewed the RodeoH briefs last year and thought they were a nice alternative to traditional harnesses that have buckles, snaps, metal, etc.

When RodeoH came out with the boxer brief harness, I was ecstatic! I’m a boxer briefs wearing guy and these were definitely on my radar! Upon receiving them, I noticed they are made with great quality. There were no stray stitches or threads. The material is extremely soft! The waist band is about 1.5” in width and has “RodeoH” printed across it.

There are several color options: gray, claret (red) and black. I chose the gray RodeoH boxer briefs. I requested the small which is for hips measuring 25” – 26” inches. No, this isn’t my true hip measurements but I followed the advice on RodeoH’s website to order a full size smaller than my measurements so I could get a tight fit. For sizing info see this page…it includes a video showing how to measure, which is helpful.

I am very pleased with the RodeoH boxer brief harness. I like the fact that I can wear these to hard and soft pack. For me, wearing these out while hard packing is a major turn on! The added bonus of there being no snaps or buckles digging into my skin while being fully clothed is great! Being ready for some good fucking at any moment is what I really enjoy about the RodeoH boxer brief harness! I can just unzip my fly, pull out my dick and get started...or even get a nice blowjob while driving or sneaking into a dark corner of a club!

I like the look and feel of this harness…soft and comfortable. The wide waistband is a preference of mine on all my boxer briefs so these suited my tastes! My only issue is that they can ride up but then again, just about any underwear can do that. I guess I may have noticed it a little more because they bunched up on me during sex. But nonetheless, I highly recommend these! 

RodeoH now has several different styles of harnesses: 
1. briefs
2. boxer briefs
3. low rise bikini style
4 trunks (with button fly front) 

If you use promo code "mamak", you'll receive $5 off plus FREE shipping!!

Review: Happiness & Joy from Kandi Burrus

Specs:

Type: vibrator

Size: 8 ¼” x 1 ½” (at widest point)

Material: silicone and ABS/phthalate free

Price: $129.00

Pros: rechargeable, silicone, international power adapters, iPod/mp3 sync, powerful, travel ready

Cons: loud motor, didn’t exactly “move” with the music

Packaging

This comes in a very attractive hard board box with a plastic insert where each component is nestled. The box is very sturdy and has the “Bedroom Kandi” logo embossed on it. Included in the is the Happiness & Joy vibrator, a 2.4 GHz transmitter, 4 different wall plug adapters: US, EU, UK and AU/NZ, a satin pouch to store the vibe in and 2 AAA batteries.

Cleaning & Maintenance

You can clean this vibrator with warm water and a mild antibacterial soap, 10-part bleach solution or alcohol wipes. Store it in the satin pouch and box it came in.

The Happiness &Joy, sent to me by Babeland, is a rabbit style vibrator from Kandi Burruss’ (Real Housewives of Atlanta) Bedroom Kandi collection. She teamed up with OhMiBod for this creation. It has 7 vibrating patterns which include 3 speeds and 4 pulsation modes. This vibe not only has a manual mode but also a music mode for vibration. With the included 2.4 GHz transmitter, you can sync it to your iPod, MP3 player or smartphone and it will vibrate with your music library! When you are in Music mode, the is a light on both the vibrator and the transmitter while they are on. There is also an OhMiBod app in the iTunes App Store you can download to your iPod or iPhone which will allow you to remotely control the Happiness & Joy as well as create and save personalized vibration patterns.

The controls of this vibrator are located at the base and are easy to use. There is a manual mode button, music mode button, of “off” button, and the “up” and “down” buttons to change between vibration settings. The motor is located in the bottom of the vibrator but can be felt throughout the length of it as well as in the clitoral stimulator. The battery is rechargeable and gives up to 3 hours of play time with a full charge. You plug in the power cord at the very bottom of the base, which has a little cover for when it is not being charged. Being that you plug this vibe in for charging, it is splashproof, not waterproof!

Thoughts and Experience

I didn’t really enjoy the Happiness & Joy. Though it was powerful, I never could get it into a setting that really did anything for me. I’m definitely a dick stimulation guy but also enjoy internal stimulation. Where the issue may lie for me is that I don’t like deep internal stimulation and for the clitoral, or in my case dick, stimulator to come into any decent contact with my body, I had to insert the vibrator further that I like and enjoy. The transmitter syncs with your iPod, iPhone, MP3 player or smartphone very well. The music mode, while entertaining, only frustrated me more as it seemed to only pick up the base line and not the change in the artists’ tone. To me, the OhMiBod iTunes app is more of a novelty and not something that I would have ever really used had the Happiness & Joy worked for me. I can’t recommend this vibrator, especially not at $129.00. Though it is made of very body safe materials, that is the only real positive for me. I say, save your money and get another vibrator without the novelty of a music mode and iTunes app.

Review: STP-Fitz

Michael, trans man and owner of STP-Fitz, sent me the STP-Fitz awhile back to review. Being that the only Stand to Pee device I had ever tried up to that point was not one designed with a packer, I was excited to get this! No more packing with a regular packer plus carrying the STP in my pocket or wallet!

About the STP-Fitz, it is made with the Good Vibrations Sailor packer which comes in two lengths: 4” and 5”. It also comes in 3 colors: Vanilla, Caramel and Chocolate. The packer itself is latex free AND phthalate free! The tubing which makes this packer a Stand to Pee device is latex free and exclusive to STP-Fitz. The nipple is made of silicone.

My first impressions just upon looking at the STP-Fitz was how good it looked and also that the tubing didn’t make the shaft stiff, it was still very pliable…no walking boner!! I immediately decided to pack with it, just to get the feel of it. It’s a little longer than the packer I had been using so I was curious to see if it created a bulge that I didn’t deem too big. The bulge was perfect! I was concerned with how the nipple receptacle would feel against me but I barely noticed it. The nipple basically collapses against your skin when not being used for urination. It’s soft and has no rough edges. 

Now onto the peeing…as is a common suggestion when first getting a STP, I practiced in the shower for a while. I had to learn how to place the nipple correctly against me to catch my stream. I also had to make sure I didn’t apply too much pressure to nipple so that it wouldn’t collapse and spill pee all over the place! It’s all a part of trial and error. Once I got the hang of using it without boxers or pants on in the shower, I progressed to wearing boxers but still using the shower. Once I was comfortable with all of that, I started using my toilet. As cheesy as it sounds, I was a very happy guy the first time I successfully used the toilet! I kept practicing at home for a few weeks before using it in public. I wanted to make sure I had the complete hang of it so I wouldn’t pee on myself in public!

The first time I used the STP-Fitz in public was nerve wracking and exciting! Oh, and it was successful! I decided against using a urinal for the first time just in case I had any trouble. Into the stall I went, unzipped my fly, pulled out the shaft and waited…and waited. Apparently, I got a little pee shy even though I was hidden in a stall with a door. Finally, the stream started flowing and I was standing to pee IN PUBLIC!!!

I highly recommend the STP-Fitz. It’s a great quality product with a wider receptacle than the medicine spoon, and also the nipple is definitely softer than a medicine spoon.

You can get the STP-Fitz from 3 VERY Transguy friendly stores:

1. She Bop  price $59.00 - $63.00
2. Tool Shed Toys  price $52.00 - $58.00
3. Early to Bed  price $55.00 - $58.00

Review: ON Arousal Oil

Specs:
Type: Arousal oil
Size: 5mL bottle
Ingredients: Proprietary Essential Oil Blend including: Sweet Almond Oil, Cinnamomum Cassia, Natural Tocopherols (vitamin e); silica, Phenoxyethanol and Ethythexyglycerin, Rosemary oil extract
Price: $19.00

Pros: small bottle doesn’t “scream” sex item, edible, doesn’t contain menthol
Cons: contains glycerin, burning sensation, not safe to use with latex condoms

Packaging
The bottle comes in a small black box with “on” in silver lettering with a hot pink square around the word. The bottle has a screw on/off top and has a nozzle similar to an eye drops bottle.

ON Arousal Oil, sent to me by Babeland, is an arousal oil for the clit, penis, nipples and any other erogenous zone! This oil is for use to increase sensation during masturbation and/or oral sex. Since it is oil based, do not use this with latex condoms…only use with polyurethane condoms. The directions say to apply 2 – 3 drops to the area of choice, allowing up to 2 minutes for the full effect to take action. The box says it will last up to 45 minutes and to reapply as often as desired.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle is it has a very strong cinnamon smell, which makes sense because Cinnamomum Cassia is one of the ingredients. I’m not a fan of cinnamon so this was not a good thing for me but I still tried it out! About 15 seconds after applying the oil to the head of my penis, I had an intense burning sensation. It was not pleasant for me at all. I tried to tough it out and see if the burning sensation lessened somewhat and would provide an arousal effect but it didn’t for me. I decided to go wash off and try it again another day. So, I waited a few days before trying ON Arousal Oil again. Unfortunately, on my 2nd trial, I received the same intense and unpleasant burning sensation. This product is a no go for me.

I did ask my friend, who is also my ex, to try this out and here is what C has to say: “I have to say I really enjoyed this product! The little black bottle looks quite a lot like an eye drops bottle so it could be easily carried and used wherever the mood may strike you. Just a couple of drops on my clit and within a few minutes I was beyond ready to go. It definitely heightened sensation and added to my orgasm. It also lasted a good while, the directions say to apply more after 45 min, and it was true to its word. The oil is very light and not at all sticky and uncomfortable. The only downside to this product for me was the smell, it is rather herbal and kind of perfumy for my tastes. Otherwise this is a definite keeper!!!”

Review: Sex On The Go Intimate Arousal Wipe for Her

Specs:
Type: Arousal wipe
Manufacturer: California Exotics
Size: 3 individually wrapped 6” x 5” wipes
Ingredients: water, propylene glycol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, euterpe oleracea (acai berry) fruit extract, punica granatum (pomegranate) extract, menthol, L-Arginine, polysorbate 20, triethanolamine, tetrasodium EDTA, citric acid, methylparaben, phenoxyethanol, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben
Price: $3.99

Pros: travel ready, convenient, heightened sensitivity, price, made in the USA
Cons: contains parabens, chemical taste, burning sensation

Packaging
You receive one box containing 3 individually wrapped wipes.

Sex On The Go Intimate Arousal Wipe for Her, sent to me by Pink Cherry Toys, is an arousal wipe for the clit. The wipes are infused with fruit extracts, acai berry and pomegranate, menthol, and L-Arginine. These ingredients increase blood flow and heighten the sensitivity of the vaginal tissue.

I decided to give these to a friend to try and tell me what she thought.

C’s thoughts on the Sex On The Go Intimate Arousal Wipe for Her: “These wipes are unarguably convenient in their handy take along packages that resemble a restaurant ‘wet-wipe’, but for me, that was one of the few pros of this product. The overall feeling for me was akin to accidentally rubbing a little bit of Vick's vapor rub on your clit. Which isn't surprising considering one of the main ingredients is menthol. That being said, they do provide a heightened sensitivity and that warm tingly feeling. The smell is also a little medicinal with the menthol, and I wouldn't get your fingers anywhere near your mouth or eyes after handling these bad boys. So, if you enjoy a little bit of burn in your nether regions when you're doing the dirty or if you need something that is easily portable for fun on the go then this product is for you. Otherwise I would go for something a little less harsh.”

Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica Virtual Book Tour

When I saw Sinclair Sexsmith’s posting for the Say Please virtual book tour and seeking reviewers, and then was accepted as one of the reviewers, I was beyond excited! I’m an avid reader and have a definite interest in BDSM. I read Mr. Sexsmith’s writings and appreciate the passion there. I knew Say Please would include a great collection of stories by writers who exude as much passion in their writing as Sinclair Sexsmith.

This book is composed of 23 erotic tales within the 232 pages. Each story drew me in and kept my attention…many left me wanting more!

Here’s a small taste from one of my favorite stories contained within the Say Please pages…it is the second story in the book.

First Ride by Wendi Kali
“Sara had only been with one other woman before me, so we talked a lot about the things she wanted to experiment with sexually. I was, of course, open to anything. During one of those late-night conversations, the subject turned to BDSM. She confessed that she had always wanted to be chained up, flogged, the fucked with a strap-on…I could feel her want as she gripped and stroked the inside of my thighs. She may have been scared, but it was clear that fear combined with the feel of my cock was making her hot and needy. I grabbed her hands and returned them to my stomach, the patted them as if to say, Patience, baby. Patience…The black leather flogger was heavy in my hand as I whipped it around in the air for a moment to let her know what was coming…I could see her knees get weak as the beating continued…Pulling my cock out and tightening up my harness, I let the tip of the cock tease her ass through her jeans. Her begging and squirming continued, and so did my teasing…Her ass sat on the fuel tank as she leaned back against the handlebars. I started to fuck her with a slow rhythm that gradually became faster and faster…’Yes, baby. Daddy, would love to take you on another ride.’”

First Ride left me wanting the story to continue. The dynamics between this butch and femme got me from the start. I must say I love a femme who wants cock, especially after being beaten. The scenery of a field, a femme chained to a motorcycle, whipped and then fucked just as she and  her butch wants opened some corners of my mind and I was able to picture it as it was happening. I would love to read about their second and third rides, etc!!

Each story is  intriguing! To read this story in full and all the others, you can purchase you own copy of Say Please…and you should!!

Description:
Say the magic word and fulfill your deepest desires for discipline and surrender, domination and submission, and the heightened sensations of BDSM play. One request opens up a fantasy world of classic dungeon scenes, bondage and restraint, floggers and spankings, sadism and masochism, very hot sex and so much more. True to form, Sexsmith queers classic gender dynamics, with a femme daddy in Alysia Angel's "Feathers Have Weight," and genderqueer bois who earn their right to flag black in Sassafras Lowrey's "Black Hanky." In "The Cruelest Kind," Kiki DeLovely's naughty narrator gets her just desserts from her butch in a back alley. D.L. King's top makes her submissive strip before an unseen audience in "A Public Spectacle." Face slapping can be a hard limit or the most delicious craving, as Rachel Kramer Bussel's protagonist finds out in "A Slap in the Face." Whether you dream of surrendering to a lover or of weilding your power, Say Please to the erotic inspiration within.

With contributed stories by Miriam Zoila Pérez, Wendi Kali, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Gigi Frost, BB Rydell, Amelia Thornton, Vie La Guerre, Sassafras Lowrey, Dusty Horn, Kiki DeLovely, Elaine Miller, Shawna Elizabeth, Sossity Chiricuzio, Meridith Guy, August InFlux, Maria See, D.L.
