I didn't realize there were all these types of malleable devices with different considerations like ease of bending.
I need to understand this better should I get a malleable instead of an inflatable, which initially I thought was a given.
Thank you Johnny for discussing this.
Good luck to you always.

Absolutely. The bend angle in my opinion is CRITICAL. I’m finding right now that I regret not getting the Coloplast Genesis for this reason. I believe the vast majority of my current pain issues would be mostly resolved if I had gone with the Genesis instead of the Rigi10 on account of the bend angle. It’s very frustrating having to choose between looking like I have a semi vs being comfortable.

Rigi10 MPP 11mm rods 20 cm with 0.5 RTE.
Implanted w/ Dr Hakky on January 20, 2026. Recovering.

I would even advise him to wait longer ... give it the better part of a year. 9 months. Positive changes were still happening for me at the 10 month mark.
Born 1990. ED since age 20 after a bicycle accident. Coloplast Genesis malleable implanted December 2024 by the great Dr. Laurence Levine in Chicago.

I agree with YK and Duke. You never know what can happen between 3 months and 1 year. We're still technically in the recovery period for up to 12 months, even if the popular fantasy is that everything is fine after just 6 weeks.
That said, I understand we all have different tolerance thresholds. Hopefully in 3 months, the tissues around the rods stretch well enough to assist with more room, for the flex needed by the rods for bending.

Re: Johnnyborg’s Malleable Journey
Thanks guys, i do appreciate the reminder that im still healing. The comfort + concealment battle really is the last main piece of the puzzle for me, i think im just frustrated feeling like im a couple meters away from the finish line but im suddenly crawling
feels like im so close to a success story with the MPP and i want that to be the case!
