Whether you’re new to packing or an deft old hand — you’ll know how packers and STPs can stick to everything. Unless you want to collect bits of fluff, dirt, you, or remnants of glitter, then you’ll definitely want to grab yourself a pot or two of packer dust.

Packer dust extends the life of your packer or STP, and leaves it feeling silky smooth. A lack of friction or sticking to your inner bits means your packer is less likely to tear or have rub marks, and will be far more comfortable for you to wear. If you’re active and during the summer you may need to reapply dust throughout the day to keep things… fresh.

Make sure to let your packer or STP dry completely before touching it or using any packer dust — dish racks or a wire muffin cooler are a no fuss way to make sure they’re not touching anything stickable!
