Grower vs. Shower

Postby PEGuy86 » Mon Feb 09, 2026 1:55 pm

Hi everyone,

I’m currently waiting for my surgery date and feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. I may be overthinking things, but a significant part of my anxiety relates to post-surgical size. I’ve always been more of a “grower” than a “shower,” and I’m curious whether others with a similar experience would be willing to share their perspective.

Were you satisfied with your post-surgery size and overall outcome?

Hey man!

I was a NOTORIOUS grower, not a shower. Seriously. My erect length pre surgery was MAYBE close to 5 inches on a GREAT day. 5 inches was my bone pressed length, at least.

But flaccid? We’re talking 2-3 inches max. Depending on shrinkage, etc :lol:

Post implant - I’m much closer to my erect length - 4.5 inches. I also did an MPP and not an IPP.

I am happy with my final size, as with MPP’s it is generally more common to lose some length and girth. IPPs typically clock in much closer to the OG erect size in the long run with cycling.

So all this to say - you’ll go from grower to shower with your surgery.

Best of luck!

PEguy, I was a grower.

Now that I’ve had my implant since 2021, I’m a shower, I would say I’m around 5 inches flaccid.

It doesn’t bother me at all. It use to bother my wife because my bulge was obvious to her. I had to wear loose athletic/sweat pants. Dark colors work the best.

Light gray is not good, you’ll definitely stand out with a big bulge with that color.

She also got me longer type shirts to cover anything too! Lol

4 years out now and she hardly says anything about my bulge.

When I pump to the max, I’m 6.25 to .50 bone pressed.

I hope that helps a little,
