OK. So we weren't all lucky enough to be born with the right equipment, or to be rich enough to afford the best surgeries. But that 'bulge in the trousers' look can be achieved, and often a little bit more realistically than with that pair of old socks we've probably all tried once in a while (or is that only me???)

Here goes, then - a few ideas to get you started.

condoms and hair gel : bog-standard diy method that works well
gak : an alternative to gel - a more realistic texture
Transitional prosthesis : made to order by Randy Ingersoll
custom made : realistic but pricey

condoms and gel

All you need is a couple of condoms and some hair-gel, unscented - you don't want wierd perfume-y smells wafting up from your groin in the middle of some important meeting. Fill a condom with gel - enough so you will end up with a realistic size. Remember - this is your everyday unaroused dick - you don't want to look like you've just shoved a cucumber down there.

Tie the condom tight and enclose in another before wrapping that up too. You need this double layer to prevent leakage. That's your dick. You can then make a couple of smaller ones for balls in the same way and attach them by knotting things together.

And that's it!! You can wear it in your underpants, or keep it in place with a jock-strap. Most of all, don't expect your first attempt to be perfect. Experiment a bit to get the size and shape you want.

GAK

Still, here's the recipe, as posted on the MtMInFo list

Items needed:
    2 containers
    1 measuring instrument (ML)
    Hot water
    1 Stirring stick
    1 Large container Elmer's glue (white)
    1 box Borax Booster Soap
    Tap water
    1 pen/marker

Directions:
Label both containers: One "A" and the other "B" on the side.
Measure out 30 ML of tap water and pour into container "A"
Measure out 30 ML of Elmer's glue and pour into cup "A".
Stir thoroughly, about 1 minute. Set aside
Measure out 240 ML of hot water and pour into container "B"
Measure out 16 ML of Borax and pur into cup "B".
Stir thoroughly until totally disolved. Set aside for 2 minutes.
Measure out 30 ML of the dissolved solution in container "B".
Pour this measurement into container "A".
IMMEDIATELY start stirring. Stir until it coagulates (turns into a blob).

With the remaining contents of container "B" - measure out additional contents of "A" mixture and make additional gak or throw remaining contents of "B" out.

Note: for those who (like me) hadn't heard of 'Elmer's glue' - it's that nasty white glue stuff we used to use as kids. You used to be able to get it all over your hands, let it dry, and pull it off as if it was a second skin. That's the best description I can do!

Transitional Prosthesis

"Transitional Prothesis has a realistic feel and look under clothes. It is secured to a light harness and follows your body like a penis and can be worn with boxer shorts or without underwear. It is relatively waterproof and drys quickly. It can be washed in the washer and dried on a towel. Each is handmade and are available in various skin colors. Price is $110.00. Randy is currently in the process of updating his producing again. He is always looking for ways to improve it."

Basically, it's latex covered penis with nylon covered scrotum. The penis is refillable (so it will not lose it's shape) and last I heard was priced at around US$110.00, but you can write to him and get a full order form from:

It comes in 14 skin-tones and is held in place with a special glue so that you can wear it without underwear and (apparantly) stays in place for days at a time (though I've heard a few dispute this).
