Eades was a 3D animator at the time, but \u201chad a passion for make-up and sculpting,\u201d he tells <\/span><em><span>Dazed. <\/span><\/em><span>\u201cI made him wear the ballbag, and it went down really well. I realised I had stumbled upon a little niche, so I made more.\u201d Within months, Eades had gathered enough momentum to quit his job and turn his garage into a makeshift workshop for a new novelty prop business, Billy\u2019s Ball Bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It wasn\u2019t until lockdown that Eades realised his business had found an unexpected audience in the form of trans guys, who praised the realism of his silicone scrotums and asked if he would consider making packers. These soft, squishy dicks are designed to be worn on an everyday basis \u2013 quite literally, they\u2019re designed to be \u201cpacked\u201d into your pants. Usually, they\u2019re either fixed into place using adhesive, attached with a harness, or they\u2019re nestled snugly into specially designed underwear. Here, a quick caveat: not all trans guys want to pack. But for those who do, the search for a perfect prosthesis can be arduous. Even as recently as a few years ago, the hunt required scouring through sex shops, shelling out hundreds of pounds, or opting for the cheap and cheerful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transguysupply.com\/products\/mr-limpy-small?srsltid=AfmBOorpqcdGKM2DcdEwuQ55YUzDl6hVbr4XMY0KPzqKinOfi-AuRdTm\"><span>Mr Limpy<\/span><\/a><span>, destined to slide around and accumulate lint as the days got sweatier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Eades wanted to do something different. He wanted to make the tab \u2013 the part designed to be attached with adhesive \u2013 smaller and more comfortable, as some packers require zero pubes in order to stick. He had other ideas, but while researching his debut dick, Eades met Billy Berrisford, a trans guy who loved the business proposal and was keen to bring his lived experience and organisational skills to the table. In May 2022, Eades founded <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mormeprosthetics.com\/\"><span>MorMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/a><span>, marking his transition into making prosthetic packers, although Billy\u2019s Ball Bags is still operative. In September that year, Berrisford came on board as his right-hand man.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b67d4254-f6e0-45bf-ac89-b3f500c3a324\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437926.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"StrokerListing-27\" class=\"img\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437926.jpg\" width=\"2700\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">MorMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Fine-tuning MorMe\u2019s first design was far from easy. \u201cWe did research into what other companies were doing already,\u201d recalls Eades. \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emisil.com\/\"><span>Emisil<\/span><\/a><span> was the big one. I remember looking and thinking, \u2018I can\u2019t do this, they\u2019re too good!\u2019\u201d His 3D animation background meant that his design process would look a little different to usual prosthetics. \u201cI design everything on a computer using 3D sculpting software, and then I 3D print the moulds,\u201d he explains. This makes it easy to make new iterations; all I do is go back to the computer, push it out, reprint it, and then it\u2019s a new, tweaked version.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As for research, Berrisford describes the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/softies\/\"><span>\u2018r\/softies\u2019 subreddit<\/span><\/a><span> as \u201creference heaven; it\u2019s full of cis guys uploading their soft penises. It\u2019s never the case that we see one and think, \u2018that is <\/span><em><span>the <\/span><\/em><span>penis,\u2019 but it\u2019s great for referencing, and also seeing that there are so many differences.\u201d Most trans guys don\u2019t want hugely noticeable 12-inch dicks, and as Berrisford points out, there\u2019s no such thing as the perfect packer. \u201cSomeone might not like a packer, but it could be perfect for thousands of other people, who see the same thing and feel like it resonates with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>MorMe now sells a multitude of dicks in different sizes, foreskin options and skin tones, but it all began with the OG Packer in size medium, around 10 centimetres. \u201cBy the time we launched, we were maybe on prototype number seven,\u201d Eades recalls. \u201cWe had some dark days in the office. The orders were piling in and it was just the two of us, but the moulds weren\u2019t user-friendly. We were doing pour after pour after pour, and things were going wrong. Now, we\u2019ve learned about new processes and materials, so our new moulds tend to be good \u2013 at <\/span><em><span>least <\/span><\/em><span>good \u2013 from the start.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perfecting gender-affirming items is no easy feat, and while it\u2019s now pretty simple to buy items like packers, binders and breast forms, as the industry is quickly growing, that wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"09dd95e9-1b41-43e1-85ad-b3f500c3d58d\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437927.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.78\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OG_STP_Listings-20\" class=\"img\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437927.jpg\" width=\"2048\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">MoreMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>\u201cThere wasn\u2019t even binding tape when I grew up,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/harrynicholas_\/?hl=en\"><span>Harry Nicholas<\/span><\/a><span>, author of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/63833356-a-trans-man-walks-into-a-gay-bar\"><em><span>A Trans Man Walks Into A Gay Bar<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span>. <\/span><\/em><span>\u201cThere were no clothing lines, packers, sex toys, binding options or pants with pockets to pack. You could just about get <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.underworks.com\/\"><span>Underworks<\/span><\/a><span> binders, but they shipped from America, and there weren\u2019t many on Amazon, so you had to be quick!\u201d Nicholas still isn\u2019t a fan of packers, although he\u2019s never tried the MorMe options. \u201cThey end up getting sticky or smelly, or they move around in my underwear, and it makes me feel <\/span><em><span>more <\/span><\/em><span>dysphoric. I just pack with socks these days, which are more comfortable and washable. I\u2019m still needing something for swimming trunks though \u2013 I haven\u2019t seen any for swimwear!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The trusty companion of the packer is the STP, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbasics.ca\/pages\/trans-guy-s-guide-to-stp-packers?srsltid=AfmBOooLAtRXDBekca0I_fR8BDfUORpFNXoUgiGGZ44D0OhJX7C_YRdQ\"><span>\u201cstand-to-pee.\u201d<\/span><\/a><span> It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: a prosthetic penis with a urethral opening, designed so you can pee standing up. These can be a logistical nightmare. \u201cIt\u2019s so difficult just in terms of anatomy and positioning,\u201d explains Berrisford. \u201cYou\u2019re fighting gravity! We sell funnels separately, so if one size doesn\u2019t fit, you can try another without having to buy the whole thing again. We try to help people by saying, \u2018Look, this is going to be really awkward, but if you can spend some time trying to find where your urethra sits, that will make such a big difference to understanding which funnel size and shape you can get.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Given these difficulties, it\u2019s unsurprising that trans guys share plenty of tips online. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ftm\/\"><span>\u2018r\/ftm\u2019 subreddit<\/span><\/a><span> is a key guidance hub, and social media creators post regular reviews, sometimes as brand affiliates. Alex, who goes by his Instagram handle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aleyatez\/?hl=en\"><span>@aleyatez<\/span><\/a><span>, became a MorMe affiliate back in January 2025, reviewing the products based on his own ideal packer. \u201cIn my opinion, it\u2019s about sizing and comfort,\u201d he tells <\/span>Dazed<span>. \u201cYou should be feeling gender euphoria, not embarrassed or uncomfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThey end up getting sticky or smelly, or they move around in my underwear, and it makes me feel <\/span><em><span>more <\/span><\/em><span>dysphoric. I just pack with socks these days\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Incidentally, ten inches used to be MorMe\u2019s smallest size, until a friend of Will\u2019s got in touch to request one for her 13-year-old son, who was newly out as trans. They quickly scaled down the design and gifted her the result, a story which he recounts tearfully. Just a few weeks later, they received a note saying it had saved his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Slowly, conversations around gender-affirming items are changing; Berrisford sees them unfold every time he tells a stranger about his job. \u201cWhen I say I make prosthetics for trans people, people say, \u2018Oh, dildos?\u2019 You have to say, \u2018No, that\u2019s not quite it.\u2019 It\u2019s like hair dye, make-up, lipstick; these are gender-affirming things that make you feel good about yourself. When I explain it that way, people say, \u2018That\u2019s amazing, I love it!\u2019\u201d Prosthetics are still a niche market, but it\u2019s growing quickly; in the near future, MorMe will offer breast forms and retractable foreskins, and other companies, like Emisil, are doing similarly valuable work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As the UK government continues to restrict the freedoms of trans people, stripping our healthcare and repressing our rights to protest, something as simple as a packer can make a world of difference. \u201cAs a trans man, these gender-affirming items are a reason I can leave the house when I feel dysphoric,\u201d concludes Alex. \u201cEvery day, we\u2019re just fighting to feel at home in the body we were born in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Eades was a 3D animator at the time, but \u201chad a passion for make-up and sculpting,\u201d he tells <\/span><em><span>Dazed. <\/span><\/em><span>\u201cI made him wear the ballbag, and it went down really well. I realised I had stumbled upon a little niche, so I made more.\u201d Within months, Eades had gathered enough momentum to quit his job and turn his garage into a makeshift workshop for a new novelty prop business, Billy\u2019s Ball Bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It wasn\u2019t until lockdown that Eades realised his business had found an unexpected audience in the form of trans guys, who praised the realism of his silicone scrotums and asked if he would consider making packers. These soft, squishy dicks are designed to be worn on an everyday basis \u2013 quite literally, they\u2019re designed to be \u201cpacked\u201d into your pants. Usually, they\u2019re either fixed into place using adhesive, attached with a harness, or they\u2019re nestled snugly into specially designed underwear. Here, a quick caveat: not all trans guys want to pack. But for those who do, the search for a perfect prosthesis can be arduous. Even as recently as a few years ago, the hunt required scouring through sex shops, shelling out hundreds of pounds, or opting for the cheap and cheerful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transguysupply.com\/products\/mr-limpy-small?srsltid=AfmBOorpqcdGKM2DcdEwuQ55YUzDl6hVbr4XMY0KPzqKinOfi-AuRdTm\"><span>Mr Limpy<\/span><\/a><span>, destined to slide around and accumulate lint as the days got sweatier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Eades wanted to do something different. He wanted to make the tab \u2013 the part designed to be attached with adhesive \u2013 smaller and more comfortable, as some packers require zero pubes in order to stick. He had other ideas, but while researching his debut dick, Eades met Billy Berrisford, a trans guy who loved the business proposal and was keen to bring his lived experience and organisational skills to the table. In May 2022, Eades founded <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mormeprosthetics.com\/\"><span>MorMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/a><span>, marking his transition into making prosthetic packers, although Billy\u2019s Ball Bags is still operative. In September that year, Berrisford came on board as his right-hand man.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b67d4254-f6e0-45bf-ac89-b3f500c3a324\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437926.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"StrokerListing-27\" class=\"img\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437926.jpg\" width=\"2700\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">MorMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Fine-tuning MorMe\u2019s first design was far from easy. \u201cWe did research into what other companies were doing already,\u201d recalls Eades. \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emisil.com\/\"><span>Emisil<\/span><\/a><span> was the big one. I remember looking and thinking, \u2018I can\u2019t do this, they\u2019re too good!\u2019\u201d His 3D animation background meant that his design process would look a little different to usual prosthetics. \u201cI design everything on a computer using 3D sculpting software, and then I 3D print the moulds,\u201d he explains. This makes it easy to make new iterations; all I do is go back to the computer, push it out, reprint it, and then it\u2019s a new, tweaked version.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As for research, Berrisford describes the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/softies\/\"><span>\u2018r\/softies\u2019 subreddit<\/span><\/a><span> as \u201creference heaven; it\u2019s full of cis guys uploading their soft penises. It\u2019s never the case that we see one and think, \u2018that is <\/span><em><span>the <\/span><\/em><span>penis,\u2019 but it\u2019s great for referencing, and also seeing that there are so many differences.\u201d Most trans guys don\u2019t want hugely noticeable 12-inch dicks, and as Berrisford points out, there\u2019s no such thing as the perfect packer. \u201cSomeone might not like a packer, but it could be perfect for thousands of other people, who see the same thing and feel like it resonates with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>MorMe now sells a multitude of dicks in different sizes, foreskin options and skin tones, but it all began with the OG Packer in size medium, around 10 centimetres. \u201cBy the time we launched, we were maybe on prototype number seven,\u201d Eades recalls. \u201cWe had some dark days in the office. The orders were piling in and it was just the two of us, but the moulds weren\u2019t user-friendly. We were doing pour after pour after pour, and things were going wrong. Now, we\u2019ve learned about new processes and materials, so our new moulds tend to be good \u2013 at <\/span><em><span>least <\/span><\/em><span>good \u2013 from the start.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perfecting gender-affirming items is no easy feat, and while it\u2019s now pretty simple to buy items like packers, binders and breast forms, as the industry is quickly growing, that wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"09dd95e9-1b41-43e1-85ad-b3f500c3d58d\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437927.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.78\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OG_STP_Listings-20\" class=\"img\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/7\/1437927.jpg\" width=\"2048\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">MoreMe Prosthetics<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>\u201cThere wasn\u2019t even binding tape when I grew up,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/harrynicholas_\/?hl=en\"><span>Harry Nicholas<\/span><\/a><span>, author of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/63833356-a-trans-man-walks-into-a-gay-bar\"><em><span>A Trans Man Walks Into A Gay Bar<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span>. <\/span><\/em><span>\u201cThere were no clothing lines, packers, sex toys, binding options or pants with pockets to pack. You could just about get <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.underworks.com\/\"><span>Underworks<\/span><\/a><span> binders, but they shipped from America, and there weren\u2019t many on Amazon, so you had to be quick!\u201d Nicholas still isn\u2019t a fan of packers, although he\u2019s never tried the MorMe options. \u201cThey end up getting sticky or smelly, or they move around in my underwear, and it makes me feel <\/span><em><span>more <\/span><\/em><span>dysphoric. I just pack with socks these days, which are more comfortable and washable. I\u2019m still needing something for swimming trunks though \u2013 I haven\u2019t seen any for swimwear!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The trusty companion of the packer is the STP, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbasics.ca\/pages\/trans-guy-s-guide-to-stp-packers?srsltid=AfmBOooLAtRXDBekca0I_fR8BDfUORpFNXoUgiGGZ44D0OhJX7C_YRdQ\"><span>\u201cstand-to-pee.\u201d<\/span><\/a><span> It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: a prosthetic penis with a urethral opening, designed so you can pee standing up. These can be a logistical nightmare. \u201cIt\u2019s so difficult just in terms of anatomy and positioning,\u201d explains Berrisford. \u201cYou\u2019re fighting gravity! We sell funnels separately, so if one size doesn\u2019t fit, you can try another without having to buy the whole thing again. We try to help people by saying, \u2018Look, this is going to be really awkward, but if you can spend some time trying to find where your urethra sits, that will make such a big difference to understanding which funnel size and shape you can get.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Given these difficulties, it\u2019s unsurprising that trans guys share plenty of tips online. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ftm\/\"><span>\u2018r\/ftm\u2019 subreddit<\/span><\/a><span> is a key guidance hub, and social media creators post regular reviews, sometimes as brand affiliates. Alex, who goes by his Instagram handle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aleyatez\/?hl=en\"><span>@aleyatez<\/span><\/a><span>, became a MorMe affiliate back in January 2025, reviewing the products based on his own ideal packer. \u201cIn my opinion, it\u2019s about sizing and comfort,\u201d he tells <\/span>Dazed<span>. \u201cYou should be feeling gender euphoria, not embarrassed or uncomfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThey end up getting sticky or smelly, or they move around in my underwear, and it makes me feel <\/span><em><span>more <\/span><\/em><span>dysphoric. I just pack with socks these days\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Incidentally, ten inches used to be MorMe\u2019s smallest size, until a friend of Will\u2019s got in touch to request one for her 13-year-old son, who was newly out as trans. They quickly scaled down the design and gifted her the result, a story which he recounts tearfully. Just a few weeks later, they received a note saying it had saved his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Slowly, conversations around gender-affirming items are changing; Berrisford sees them unfold every time he tells a stranger about his job. \u201cWhen I say I make prosthetics for trans people, people say, \u2018Oh, dildos?\u2019 You have to say, \u2018No, that\u2019s not quite it.\u2019 It\u2019s like hair dye, make-up, lipstick; these are gender-affirming things that make you feel good about yourself. When I explain it that way, people say, \u2018That\u2019s amazing, I love it!\u2019\u201d Prosthetics are still a niche market, but it\u2019s growing quickly; in the near future, MorMe will offer breast forms and retractable foreskins, and other companies, like Emisil, are doing similarly valuable work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As the UK government continues to restrict the freedoms of trans people, stripping our healthcare and repressing our rights to protest, something as simple as a packer can make a world of difference. \u201cAs a trans man, these gender-affirming items are a reason I can leave the house when I feel dysphoric,\u201d concludes Alex. \u201cEvery day, we\u2019re just fighting to feel at home in the body we were born in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
