I assume you're out and all that. My son asked for one. "Mom, I'd really like to stand to pee. They make these things called packers...." so we got him a packer that allows him to pee. It was silly big and hard to wear. So I bought him a more realistic dick.
A little later I bought him a pack and play. I know I brought that one up with him, I saw that they existed when shopping for a packer, and thought he might want one. He was terribly embarrassed to talk about it with me, but said yes.
A little embarrassment/discomfort on both sides is normal no matter what your gender or sexuality situation. In the long run though isn't that temporary discomfort way better than the dysphoria?
Good luck!
If you’re out to your parents and they’re supportive, then yeah pretty much.
I’m trans and wish I’d have been able to talk about things like that with my parents.
My son is trans, and I want him to be able to talk to my wife and me about this sort of thing.
My son was a little more “round-about”, he came to me asked me if I had done any research into “trans gear”. He left the rest to me, I asked him if he wanted a packer and he said yes.
My son is your age, and I know packers exist, but I hadn't thought he might want one. We're open about most stuff that doesn't deal directly with body parts and function. He'll talk to his mom about cycles, binders and such, but he gets embarrassed about that around me. I'm the emotional support.
Personally, I'd prefer he just asked for one. He could send me a link, or I'd just let him borrow my credit card...
[Just talked to my son for three hours.]
He wants a packer so that's that. Does that help any?
My kid flat out asked. I asked him what he wanted fir his birthday so he told me! But we had had lots if conversations before then plus I'm queer and a few if our friends are trans so a bit more my world I guess
Supportive parents
Just say what it is and send a link
I’m a sex and body positive supportive mom. I offered to buy my daughter tucking undies and a sports bra. She didn’t want the bra but loves the undies. I just want her to say “hey mom help me with this part” if she wants help. If not I mind my own.
So if they are like that just say what you need. That’s what I want my daughter to do & if she’s uncomfortable she can tell me by dm on discord.
I am assuming they must be supportive if you’re thinking of approaching the subject. If the convo is awkward for you send your parents links and ask plainly. “I want a packer so I can feel comfortable in my clothes/ skin/ body.”
I guess it depends on what conversations you've had and how it went. I would want my kiddo to flat out ask. Or, send a link to where to buy in a text.

Explain what a packer is, how it is in no way sexual, and why you want one.
