I think there's a lot of confusion around whats meant by "shower not a grower" by preop members here.
I definitely didnt know what I was getting into in this area before my implant.
Im 6 months postop now (and love my titan).
For the first couple months things were pretty stiff and looked pretty unnatural, especially when flacid.
Really it looked like a had a semi all the time. Not only was it almost the same size as my erect size, it was very straight and stiff.
With time (and cycling, perito exercises and 20 minutes a day of gentle VED use) things have softened and filled in quite a bit. Its still pretty straight but it no longer "crinkles" or bends abruptly.
At month 2 I had a distinct bend/crinkle close to the base where my flacid penis would turn downward. It was almost sharp and hurt sometimes as it was poking me from the inside.
With time (and all of the above) its softened up so much. I still wouldnt walk around naked in a gym locker room because I think seeing a naked 7.5 inch slihjyly stiff flacid penis might draw unwanted responses but im getting used to wearing looser pants and shorts when Im trying to keep my details to myself.
Im wondering if it will soften more (no longer look like i have a semi all the time). Does anyone further along have feedback on this? Did your titan soften more after 6 months or am I pretty much as soft as ill get?
(To be clear: not complaining. I wouldnt trade my titan for anything but if I could change one thing, it'd be a more natural flacid hang)

~8" before IPP but not "hard" enough for pvi.
Tried everything as things progressed:
Pills, pumps, prp, trt, gainswave, peptides, trimix, quadmix and a vibrating ring.

Re: New flacid/full time show-er
That's precisely why I went with the LGX.
I figured I'm NOT having sex 99% of the time, and I wanted a somewhat natural penis during that time.
It still gets hard as a rock when pumped up, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Re: New flacid/full time show-er
Yes, having a bulge in your pants is part of the deal when you're implanted. Maybe six months post and felt like mine had softened to more comfortable levels. Now it's way softer but still nearly as long as an erection. Did you see my post about showing? https://www.franktalk.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27964

Re: New flacid/full time show-er
I definitely found my shower flaccid to be a nice surprise. I had read that it is possible to become bigger, but I'm probably nearly double my original size, which was very unexpected. To be fair I was only average size at best. But now I'm happy to walk around naked with confidence. To prove that point to myself I recently went for a swim at a nude beach. I felt perfectly comfortable walking around with dick swinging freely. There were even some young women looking on, not that anything was going to happen.
The difference between flaccid and erect is also much less for me now, and I'm back to my pre ED size erect. I think that common scenario does cause confusion for some pre op guys, who may think it's possible to get a penis enlargement from an implant. Unfortunately not in my experience, although I'm happy to be back to where I was. Some might realize small gains or get back to their youthful erect size, but nothing miraculous. Anecdotally I think I'm possibly still getting some trivial gains from aggressive cycling, but I'm sure the main show is over.
I'm another happy with my LGX in both performance and appearance, which was something I considered when doing my research. Some say that they would like their LGX to be harder and/or more stable. Like Bigdave I've had neither of those issues, even with the longest LGX cylinders. For sex it's easily pumped to much harder than I need it, but I've come to prefer it like that. It's anchored like a rock and barely moves during vigorous PIV. It may be that I have a relatively deep crus or something.
I have no direct experience but most Titan guys report being happy with the performance of their implants. But it seems fairly common to have some concerns initially with appearance, crinkling and so on, until the device has been stretched sufficiently through cycling, sex etc. I guess patience may play its part to get the best results, like most things implant related.

Re: New flacid/full time show-er
like my brothers above I have to say the Lgx strength is in the "at ease" position. when mine at nearly 5 years is fully squeezed deflated, its swinging and limp and floppy as a natural cock, aldeit larger then my pre healthy penis. gets hard enough for topping.
all of the brands are going to take time to soften up, enjoy the journey brothers
