WhipSmart Packer Review

The first thing I said when I opened up the box was “WOW this looks like a Mr. Limpy…but better!”. So heres the thing. The Mr. Limpy packer has been my “ol’ reliable” for over 15 years now. No matter how many amazing packers I try, I just seem to always gravitate back to it. Theres something about the size and the squishiness that I like. I also like that it reminds me of my early transition. The one big issue I’ve had with the Mr. Limpy (and a lot of people have complained about this as well), is the balls are way too big. I’ve learnt to deal with it through the years but wow, I never thought I’d find a packer that is exactly like the Mr. Limpy but with smaller balls. Well, the future is here and someone finally made it happen. When I tell you this feels like the Mr. Limpy, I mean it. It’s not made of silicone, just that not-skin-safe material TPR. But throw that thing in a packing strap or packing underwear and you’re golden!

The Not-so-Great

• Oily – Will leave an oily residue on any surface. If you put it on a table and remove it after a few minutes, it will leave an oily testicle shaped “ring”.
• Ingredients – Not super happy with the lack of information available for this packer. People with serious product allergies may have to contact the manufacturer directly for information. 
• Rip – If you put the WhipSmart in an o-ring harness or handle the packer by the shaft often, the space under the shaft will begin to rip away from the balls. 
• Colors – Limited. Only 2.

Unboxing

This packer comes in a box and then 2 plastic bags. At first I was confused why they needed two plastic bags. But as soon as I opened it I understood. Since this packer is not made from 100% silicone, it secretes oils. These oils make everything around it very greasy and unpleasant. So the two plastic bag thing makes sense. When I took it out of the bags I was pleasantly surprised with how soft it was. Sometimes when I would get a new Mr. Limpy and take it out of the bag it was so sticky and shiny. It was honestly gross (adding cornstarch really helped). However, the WhipSmart was soft right out of the bag! 

What I liked was that it also came with a mesh bag. I thought that was brilliant because this would be an amazing way to store the packer while the mesh bag absorbed the oils and didn’t get on any of your stuff.

Nope, I was wrong. Look at that. I put the packer in the mesh bag and left it in the box for about a month and this happened. The cardboard box is now greasy and discolored. The mesh bag did nothing. So disappointing. But! I’ve dealt with non-silicone packers for over 15 years, so I know the deal. I was just hoping that the mesh bag was the answer. Nope!

I know a lot of people wonder what the actual shipping box looks like and it’s tough to really say because this prosthetic is sold by many different online retailers. If you are ever unsure, you can always message the company you are purchasing from and ask them what they put on the box! The retailer that I prefer is Early2Bed and I can tell you that living in Canada and receiving a package from the USA, I’m always terrified the customs declaration form is going to say something like “big wiener”. Luckily, that has never happened with Early2Bed. They also didn’t even put the return address as “Early2Bed” they put “ETB”. 

Color

This packer only comes in two skin tones. Dark Brown (which really isn’t that dark) and Light Beige. The lack of color options is so disappointing. This is similar with the Mr. Limpy, only 2 colors (sometimes 3, they used to have a pink one but I haven’t seen it in years).

Size

The WhipSmart packer only comes in one size. Here are the dimensions:

Full Dimensions:
Length: 3.9” (10cm)
Length of Shaft: 2.4” (6cm)
Height: 3.6” (8.9cm)
Width (smallest): 1.8” (4.7cm)
Width (largest): 2.5” (6.5cm)
Girth: 4.3” (11cm)
Weight: 4.1oz (117g)

I love this size. I know I’m talking a lot about the Mr. Limpy but it’s been a staple in the trans masc community for over 15 years and A LOT of people know it. The WhipSmart and the Mr. Limpy are very similar in size, weight, and texture. The only difference is the balls (finally!)

Material and Feel

Alright, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Non-silicone packers are usually made of an elastic and/or rubbery material and sometimes they are mixed with silicone. However, because the packer is not 100% made with platinum grade silicone, it’s porous. This means that bacteria have a place to hide and grow. So, if you put that near your junk and it’s got bacteria on/in it, guess what. That bacteria can transfer onto your skin. All this to say, it’s not recommended to place this packer directly on your skin. Instead, use packing underwear or a packing strap!

Now I’m going to be super honest. 15 years ago no one talked about what the different materials were and how they would affect your skin. Therefore, for years I packed with the Mr. Limpy just in my undies, straight touching my skin. Skin to skin contact 24/7 for years. I don’t think it affected me. I didn’t notice any extra oily parts near my… parts. I would cornstarch that packer and wash it often because it would get stinky. Thinking about that now….. Yes… it was bacteria.

So yes, even though this packer can be a petri dish of junk bacteria, the material is soft and I enjoy it very much.

Packing

Packing with the WhipSmart is a dream. No really, I’ve been hoping for years that the creators of the Mr. Limpy (FLESHLIGHT), would shave off the balls a little. But they never did. Instead, people would buy the packer and cut the balls themselves. WELL, here we are. A Mr. Limpy with thin balls and I love it. Here is what it looks like when I pack with it in packing underwear:

Now, if you really want this packer but you’re not sure what to do in terms of packing because you don’t want to go out and buy 5 pairs of packing underwear at $20+ each. Hey, I totally get it. You have other options. The Joey and the PackStrap from 0—— are great options as you can use those more than once and move them from different types of underwear. If that isn’t accessible either, take an old sock, cut it, and use a safety pin to pin it on your undies (just like the Joey).

Real Feel Test™

After extensive research and months of trying these packers out. I can say that the WhipSmart KIND OF passes the Real Feel Test™…. Depending on what you like to feel.

For me, this is a 5/5, however, I acknowledge that I like a squishier packer than what most flaccid penises feel like. There is no inner core (dual-density) so if you squish it, it’s VERY squishy and you could feel your fingers on the other side….

Cleaning and Care

I recommend cleaning this product before and after each use. 

This product is made with a mix of silicone and other materials. The easiest way to clean this packer is with hot soapy water. I usually recommend sterilizing your packer at least once a week in a pot of boiling water, and/or sticking it in the dishwasher, however, because this packer is not 100% silicone,  soapy water is the only option. 

If you find that the packer is tacky/sticky after cleaning it, I am a huge advocate of using cornstarch (or other rejuvenating powders) to maintain a smooth and silky texture.

*Please do not use talcum powder (most commonly found in baby powder), it has been associated with different types of cancers, mostly ovarian cancer. We have a full article on the dangers of talcum power here.

Storage

I recommend using the original packaging or a natural canvas bag. Place this product in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a dresser drawer. Do not store it with other similar-material products as those eventually can start to morph together, which is really not fun. Sometimes, these products secrete an oily texture and a canvas bag will help absorb this moisture. If you do not store your packer properly, overtime it can secrets oils and eventually lose its shape and size (it will become smaller).

Small Tip: Add a little bit of cornstarch to this product before storing it in a bag. This will help its life and longevity.

Final Thoughts

I am absolutely in love with this packer. Literally years and years of waiting for a thinner balled Mr. Limpy and finally, we are here. I never thought I would replace Mr. Limpy in my lineup, but it happened. This packer is exactly what I’ve always dreamt of! I just wish it was made of silicone… but the On The Go packer from Tantus is actually a silicone version of the Mr. Limpy (but with big balls). If you like a very squishy and wiggling peen, you might just love this packer. The future is here and we can all have thin balls!
