Grower vs. Shower

[PEGuy86]

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

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!

It is normal to have your emotions all would up.
You have this. Soon no more wondering if you are going to get hard you k ow you will.

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,
SWorks

I’ve commented many times on this topic. For the first few months after your able to cycle you feel like your showing and everyone can see it. My wife worried as much or more than I did. So over the next many months you start to get used to it and seems to be less noticeable. After the first year or so you seem to quit worrying about as did my wife.
Looking back, sure things get softer and your able to deflate almost too much so you leave a little juice in there so it looks more normal.BUT!,, I never think about it now and actually it’s just as noticeable as it was the first few months when it seemed to jump out and you think everyone sees it. It’s a LOT more you getting used to the new you on the point that it becomes normal new you! I’ve known guys that were well endowed and showers and they always showed and nobody ever thought anything about it. It was what he normally was and never knew any difference. So it’s simply getting used to what you have as a shower now. Once you accept it and get used to it, you get past it. Some people it takes a few months others might take a year, or years. I really enjoy the new size I have now and it’s kinda nice not having to stretch it out in cold weather just to take a piss!! lol!

I'm just 3 weeks out of surgery, but an unexpected benefit is it is a lot more comfortable.
I used to have to re-arrange myself multiple times during the day as everything shrank and grew and shrank and grew depending on the temperature, activities etc. Now everything stays comfortably where I put it.
