Quick Answer
Wear a packing jock by placing your soft packer or STP into the internal pouch, pulling the harness up like underwear, and adjusting the waistband and leg straps for a snug but not tight fit.
Why a Jock Harness Works for Daily Wear
A packing jock keeps your prosthesis secure and close to your body, reducing shifting and visible bulges. The open-back design also improves airflow, which can help prevent skin irritation during long days.
Unlike boxer-style harnesses, a jock harness provides more targeted support and is easier to adjust without removing your pants. It works well with both soft packers and STP devices.
Choosing the Right Size
The (Soft Packer + STP) Packing Jock from CocoNuts comes in multiple sizes. Measure your waist and hips before ordering, and check the size chart to avoid a harness that is too loose (causes slipping) or too tight (causes discomfort).
If you are between sizes, choose the larger one for breathability and adjust the leg straps for a custom fit.
How to Wear Your Packing Jock – Step by Step
- Insert the Prosthesis: Place your soft packer or STP into the internal pouch through the O-ring opening. Make sure the shaft points upward or to the side, depending on your preferred positioning. A common mistake is forcing a prosthesis that is too large for the pouch. Check the O-ring size before inserting.
- Pull the Harness Up: Step into the jock harness and pull it up to your waist, similar to putting on underwear. The pouch should sit against your pubic area, not too high or too low. If the harness twists during this step, adjust it before fastening the waistband.
- Adjust the Waistband and Leg Straps: Tighten the waistband so it sits comfortably on your hips without digging in. Then adjust the leg straps to keep the pouch snug but not restrictive. You should be able to slide two fingers under each strap. Straps that are too tight can cause chafing; too loose will let the prosthesis shift. Check the fit after 10 minutes of wear.
