Sorry to hear about the failure. One of my fears.
I've never had a malleable, but they don't sound anywhere as nice as the Titan. Yes, hiding it can pose an issue at first. Not sure what to tell you, but I'd listen to the doctor. Good luck making that decision.

Yes it takes time for everything to get back into place. Shape will come soon. My doc did the same thing, grab and squeeze to deflate and about had me on the ceiling.

Welcome. Eight years is too long to be suffering for an issue that can be fixed. Find a good men's sexual health urologist and see what options they can offer. The implant is easy to inflate, guaranteed to always be ready.

The Titan takes several months to soften. You may want to try spandex type underwear.
In boxers my bulge is big. In sweatpants the bulge shows IF you look. In jeans no bulge shows.

One of the reasons I gave up injections was the pain. The next day after an injection of Quadmix my penis would ache like it got smashed in a door.

Because of the wife's bad knee we bought a sex swing. Helps limit pain in my bad back too. The swing has been great to enjoy each other without fighting the bed.

Good for you. Life is too short to not enjoy all it has to offer.
Glad you found the forum helpful.

I second Aloe Cadabra lube. Although I don't use it for VED purposes, it is nice smooth feeling lube.

Excessive urination can indicate diabetes. There are bladder meds available that help retention.
A visit to a urologist would answer these questions.

That need to release feeling started on me about 3 1/2 weeks after implant. Trying to do anything just made soreness increase which kept me from going further. At 5 1/2 weeks doc released me, came home and masturbated. Next night sex with wife felt good during, had a nice orgasm, but hurt afterwards...
