Question regarding Coloplast comfort

[Osprey_1]

I have a question for my fellow implanted. I have Coloplast IPP. I’m 8 months in. Recently, I read something that basically said at 8 months, I should no longer feel the implant and that it should be comfortable. But when deflated, I feel it constantly. It’s not painful, but it’s uncomfortable. I am aware of it 24 hours a day … at night and during the day. Most of the discomfort is near the top where it’s feels hard, stiff and full. This is magnified by the sensation of being bigger than I was before so it is always rubbing against my cloths. Was the article wrong, or should the discomfort have receded by now? What are your experiences?

Was yours implanted Penscrotal or Infrapubic?

Penoscrotal

I had my implant one day after you. Also a Coloplast Titan. Dr Eid uses a penoscrotal approach.

Are you able to cycle to absolute maximum size and stay there comfortably for a long time? If not you might have been sized a bit more aggressively and might need to cycle to stretch things out a bit more. That way when you are deflated it will be a bit more comfortable.

About a month after surgery I realized I was forgetting about the implant more and more. Most of the time I do t think about it. It has become the new normal. It’s comfortable. I notice it at times throughout the day but not constantly.
