Inflatable Vs. Malleable Implant

[MarcL97]

In the near future, I will be getting an implant. It will most likely be an inflatable but could be a malleable depending on circumstances which the surgeon (i.e, Eid) will determine while I'm in the OR. I've only talked to men who have received an inflatable and I think I understand it pretty well.

As far as the malleable:

For those who have one, isn't it hard to conceal having an erection when you are not pointing the device "up" for penetrative sex?

Doesn't it feel strange to always be erect?

If anyone can answer on this forum or PM me, I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Hey Marc - with the malleable, it’s not as easy to conceal as the inflatable obviously since the malleable is always semi-rigid. I’ve found a pretty reliable way to do it with mine by just wearing higher rise trousers + compression boxer briefs. This gets me most of the way there!

The inflatable will make you a “shower” too, and guys do have to sometimes strategize a bit more to reduce the bulge. But overall is a bit more easy and comfortable with inflatable I imagine!

For guys who have larger penises, I can imagine the malleable could be a bit more tricky. I’m on the smaller side of average at around 5-5.25 inches bone pressed.

In addition, I have the Rigi10 malleable. I am still early on (about 2 months) so I’m still giving myself a full year to evaluate, but right now I kind of wish I’d gone with the Coloplast Genesis malleable because of the better bendability. The Rigi10 has been marketed as being a more rigid than the Genesis - but to be honest, I’m skeptical. And the other thing about the Rigi10 is that the marketing pushes the idea that it can be bent 135 degrees. This is true, but what they don’t tell you is that with spring back, the 135 degrees bend doesn’t really matter. The implant will likely rest at 4 o clock position naturally. It’s allegedly supposed to get closer to 5 o clock with continued bending, but only time will tell! This is why I have a feeling the Genesis is actually the superior implant: it has the absolute best bend of the malleables for stowage, and I’d wager the rigidity from a functional standpoint is absolutely on par with the Rigi10. Any marginal additional rigidity I don’t think is worth the trade on bendability.

Also - I’m happy I went with the malleable so far. It fit my lifestyle and what is important to me from the implant. I’m not opposed to getting an IPP one day or if the MPP doesn’t work out, but went the MPP route to see if the similar device will get me what I’m looking for.

Doesn't it feel strange to always be erect?

It absolutely did for the first 4 weeks, and still does from time to time. But mostly, my brain and body are starting to adapt. When I’m chilling around my apartment in loose shorts, I forget it’s there when I throw on some nice clothes to hit the town, I’m a bit more “aware” of it still and am slightly anxious about “can people see a bulge? Do people know” etc but it’s a bit irrational and excessive. It’s just because I’m still getting comfortable with it and adapting, honestly.

Yes, bend memory is somewhat imperfect. I have to make adjustments with clothes to work around this and remain comfortable.

Doesn't it feel strange to always be erect

Yes, it certainly does feel strange at times. Sometimes I like it.

Since a Malleable is always erect, is it difficult to urinate?

[whatevery]

In presume that Malleable is much lower maintenance than Inflatable. You don't have to cycle (naturally ) What about Perito exercise? In fact, do you have to do anything with Malleable at all post-op? What about VED usage to maybe increase length somewhat? Did your doctors tell anything about that?

Are there things that you have to do with Malleable that you wouldn't do with Inflatable?

You can VED prior to surgery to improve length. It’s not recommended to do it afterwards since the implant length is fixed. With a malleable you need to just figure out how to bend it at the hinge and conceal it.

Since a Malleable is always erect, is it difficult to urinate?

No, after I got through initial healing it’s pretty much exactly the same.

i have the tactra malleable which is reported to be the stiffest of the malleables . with "concealing " it , it is only noticable when i wear gym type shorts or swim trunks , not when wearing cargo shorts . although i am now living on a relitively small islnd in the tropical philippines and 95 % of the time i am wearing gym shorts or swimming trunks ,hahaa . [add to that it is hard to find shorts that fit me ,at 6"3" , 225 pounds . a xl in usa ,is a 4xl here . those are hard to find] .
the head pops up a little in that attire , making me a shower . so when i go to the gym for a work out ,ill put a small hand towel in my left pocket to hide tha tbit of shower .
in regular shorts that is not an issue
being hard all the time is somthing i actually like . its as if it increases my libido .
and a malleable is definetly low maintanece , as in none .
the one negitive is there will most likely be a loss in girth and a little in length .
after some months , natural engorment helps with girth .
i did try HA fillers here in the philipines to have my previous natural engorged girth to be 24/7 , but after 8 days with a very swollen member that showed no sign of receding , against the clinics wishes - "please trust the process sir i had it desolved" .
still , personally i would not choose an ipp over a malleable at this point .
i like the simplicty and reliability of the malleable .
i had mine done while the wife was away for months on end .
i have not informed her till now that i have a malleable , and the other night after a romp in the hay ,she remarked " your dick is still like a 30 year old !"
to me its not the same as when my natural erection worked well . i would give my natrual a 10 and the malleable maybe an 8 only due to the lesser girth . but than a 10 in durabilty and stamina for the malleable .
i might try adding a small amount of HA filler in thailand in may , as they seem to be more professional with autual licenced doctors ,and upfront with what type of fillers they use and they have a half dozen types to choose from to best suit the pataints wishes , from soft to firmer .
