Posting will resume as soon as finals are over. I have all the materials for my DIY BDSM chest harness and my jock strap style packing pouchs.

Check!

I went thrifting today (FINALLY) and bought the belts I need for my chest harness. I’m debating whether to hand sew it or use my gf’s sewing machine. Either way, expect updates once the crafting begins.

Fuck Yeah FTMs!: No gym? No problem

Fuck Yeah FTMs!: No gym? No problem:

fuckyeahftms:

I’ve often had people ask me about my workout routine and 95% of the time I’m at a gym - I’ve found a lot of people don’t have access to a gym/aren’t comfortable or can’t afford it, so for those in such situations it definitely is possible to get a full body workout without a gym (as they…

PS- My fingers are crossed that after this weekend I’ll have more free time to be crafty.

hey so- you posted a while back about a clothe packer situation, and i'd like to make one for my boyfriend but am not very crafty at all and the googlez aren't helping :/ so if you have tips/pics/instructions, that would be rad! thanks a bunch :)

Is this the packer style you are referring to?

Hey! I love the idea of combining craftyness with my love of FTM "gadgetry". I just made a tutorial on how I recolored my packer, and am trying to get in touch with someone who might have an idea on getting the color to stay. Should I submit? I was also wondering if you'd be interested in helping me plan/test a few other ideas that I have for packer mods and a more natural looking harness.

You should definitely submit. My plates overflowing right now, but possibly once things calm down I can help you :). Stay golden.

how to increase sex time

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:16:43 -0500

You can try thinking of things that turn you off, satisfying your partner first, training yourself to delay climax, or numbing sex creams to decrease sensitivity. Hope this helps.

Hey, congrats on the op. I'm buying a bendy buddy from Les Love boat, and need a harness for using it for sex. What do you think would work? :)

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:14:00 -0500

Thanks dude! Just looked this packer up and the type of harness will depend on the packer’s weight. I always recommend a bare minimum harness style for optimal comfort, similar to these: type A, type B, type C, type D . If the packer is heavy you might want to go with a brief or jock style harness (refer to older submissions). I hope I answered this in time.

Would you ever sell some of your stuff? or take requests?

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:07:09 -0500

What a wonderful question. I wouldn’t start selling until I’ve perfected my craftsmanship so products would be uniform. On taking requests, I’ve never considered doing that until now. I will most definitely revisit these ideas once my life’s back in order (just had surgery and the Spring semester starts next week). Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, I just want to say that I love this blog. And I'm currently 90% finished making a binder based off of a lovely t-kingdom binder. If it works out I want to make a tutorial for it that covers suggested materials to make it out of and where to get them. Assuming this experiment of making a binder shirt works I'll submit the tutorial here as well as putting it up on my own blog and my deviant art. Because I think the spreading of such information is important. Your blog is inspirational. <3

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:04:38 -0500

Thank you, I also believe dispersing information throughout a community is very important. You should definitely submit your finished tutorial when finished. Happy crafting!

Homemade fun

I made these from dildos we already had. I made a mold then used “platinum cure Silicone” They are very fleshy feeling. The wife is dieing with pleasure.

1 of these is a regular dildo the other 2 I use as an extension

Homemade STP

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:02:54 -0500

This is pretty similar to a medicine spoon STP but out of different materials. I’ve never come across a medicine spoon like the ones guys use in the UK. They’re probably out there, but I’ve never seen one. So I looked for other alternatives, and came up with this.

Get a bottle of Flash All-Purpose Cleaner. Or another bottle that has a handle the same shape. Flash costs around £2-3 from Tescos depending on what scent you want. Obviously for this it doesn’t matter, but you might as well use the contents up if you’re going to buy it. The important part is the shape of the handle.
Cut the handle off the bottle carefully. It’s best to leave more than you think you’ll need — I didn’t really think about that when I started and would have made it better if I had — as you can always cut it down later. I used a sharp penknife to start it off and then scissors, but YMMV with different bottles and thicknesses of plastic. The Flash bottle wasn’t hard to cut at all though.
Trim down the plastic into the shape you want. Look at factory manufactured STPs if you’re stuck. In the photograph I tried to show what mine looks like.
Smooth down the edges using sandpaper/glasspaper or a lighter. If you’re going to use a lighter test the melting point of your plastic on a scrap piece first and remember that it’s going to get very hot and if it starts to burn it’ll give off toxic fumes. Cheap lighters and Clippers get very hot as well (trust me I know, my thumb still hasn’t forgiven me!) and don’t like being lit for extended periods of time. The plastic on Flash bottles goes see-through when it gets malleable and doesn’t take more than a lick of flame.
Practice. If it doesn’t work out try using a different shaped bottle. You can reshape it a little by melting it as well. And don’t expect it to work perfect first time, try in the bath or shower!

Finished product:

I forgot to care: Funding your transition

I forgot to care: Funding your transition :

sang-freud:

I’ve mentioned here before that I’ve paid for my transition almost entirely out of my own pocket (insurance covered my hysto), and the FTM tag is lousy with people hawking their ChipIns or simply asking us all for donations. And then being outraged when some of us don’t like…
