As someone who has used many stand to pee (STP) packers, I have learned a few tricks along the way that I think are worth sharing.

Here’s a little summary of tips and tricks to keep in mind when using a stand to pee device. Though I primarily have the EZP and the EZP Junior in mind when giving these tips, they are relevant to most FTM STPs.

1. Wear Snug Briefs

The closer your underwear sits to your skin, the better it will be able to hold your packer in place. Briefs tend to work best due to the leg elastic doing a great job at holding everything in place. Boxer briefs can work too, but your packer can easily start creeping down the leg. Boxers are a no go. Also, much of the movement of STP packers is caused by the pouch being too lose. The smaller the front pouch is, the less the packer will be able to move around.

2. Choose underwear with a side slit or H slit

Always wear snug underwear with either an easy access side slit or the less common horizontal slit. (see the Budgie Briefs as an example of H slit.) Trying to use an STP hoiked over a waistband is close to impossible and will most likely result in back flow and an accident. Don’t try fight gravity!

Another useful trick for side slit underwear is to cut a small hole in the layer that sits against your skin where the shaft sits. This helps keep the device in place and makes using it much easier. It also means you don’t have to maneuver it around two separately directioned pieces of material.

3. Position the STP to the Left

To further aid in easy access, wear your STP with the shaft sitting towards the left. Most side slit underwear has the slit on the right, so positioning the STP to the left will be more comfortable, won’t create any embarrassing bulges, and will sit in a position that makes it very easy to access.

4. Choose Pants That Allow You to Bring the Fly Down Low

Make sure you’re wearing pants that allow you to bring the fly down lower than your urethral exit. This makes positioning the STP and ensuring it’s not getting kinked in any way so much easier. A lot of backflow issues are caused by the STP either being kinked in the middle or the user not pointing the shaft low enough.

5. Discretely Lift the Cup Forward to Clear Any Remaining Drops

Once you’ve finished peeing, there’s a good chance there’ll be a few drops in the bottom of the cup. Discretely lift the cup all the way forward with your thumbs so that any remainder runs straight down the shaft and out, ensuring that everything is cleared.

6. Consider Purchasing an EZP Shape Retainer Cup

If you’ve struggled with soft STP packers and you’re after something more rigid, consider purchasing the $10 EZP shape retainer cup. This sits snugly inside the EZP and gives the bowl a sturdy firmness that prevents any kind of buckling. It is available in two sizes, the shape retainer for the EZP and the shape retainer for the EZP Junior.

Here’s a demo video of the EZP shape retainer.
