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.

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.

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!

Re: Johnnyborg’s Malleable Journey
WEEK 10 - update:
Hey everyone - no real meaningful changes. Still dealing with skin sensitivity / pain on both sides of penis. Pain seems superficial and not deep, from rubbing against underwear. It’s very sensitive / even just moving my finger across the area can trigger it. It goes away without contact.
I do think it feels like this is lingering pain from the skin being stretched since surgery.
I could be imagining it, but I feel like I’m getting some slight sensation returning in the numb-side of my penis over the right subcoronal scar. This numbness didn’t really bother me and I never really notice it, but return of sensation is definitely a nice thing.
I’ve noticed that when I masturbate, I’m getting really great engorgement. About 1/2 inch extra girth, and my glans gets very engorged too. I’m grateful to still be getting that blood flow!
The implant feels more and more normal each week with the exception of the pain I experience in underwear and pants + the frustration around bend angle. Concealment is zero problem when in the compression boxers + high rise trousers. Totally concealed. It’s just the pain that bugs me, but I’m holding out hope that this isn’t some new chronic pain I’ll have to live with and that it will continue to improve.
