Does the concept of binding boggle your mind? Ever wonder how some pre- or non-op guys stand to pee? Do you ponder how to get a nice, but realistic, looking bulge in your pants? Maybe you are more interested in tips about how to successfully use a gendered locker room without causing a stir. Or how about how to stay cool in the summer and pass, even without multiple layers of clothes or a binder? Bring your favorite packing, binding, urinating devices to show and tell. This meeting will have a hands-on focus, offering suggestions, tips, techniques for the practicalities of binding, soft packing, hard packing, urinating, clothing styles, hair cuts, and more. Come share your knowledge and experience with others!
Guest speaker: Laura, the new owner of the Tool Shed, will drop in with packies, dildos and harnesses. She’ll discuss important information about pthalates (nontoxic toys) and answer questions about both the products she brings, and about other items of interest that Tool Shed carries. |
