I was implanted with a Rigicon Infla10X in mid-April by Dr Love and am very happy with the result.
My only regret is, despite being told to pull the pump down regularly, I neglected that for a short period and then found that it had migrated up to where the tubing disappears into me, and wouldn't budge when I pulled it down. My bad.
Since then, it has stopped being uncomfortable while walking, when the sharp corner of the pump rubbed against the scrotum at my left thigh, and I have learned to live with the awkward contortions I have to go through to reach the deflate button.
The other hopefully temporary niggle is the thickness of the infra-pubic scar, but it will eventually thin out and just become normal skin thickness. Because of that, I can't get a clear BPL because the ruler can't reach the bone yet. Sex is great again, apart from the scar getting between that delicious pubic bone-on-pubic bone feeling, but we'll get there.
I'm guessing that what you see as impressive girth is just swelling. When my swelling went down, it just left the thin skin, tunica and corpora wall to cover the hard cylinder. I'm still working on stretching the tunica albuginea to allow the claimed 23 mm diameter of each cylinder to be achieved. It's early days.
A dose of tadalafil helps get that engorged feeling, without which my dick just feels like a steel rod without any 'give'. The tadalafil also helps to inflate the glans which helps with sensation.
It's a novel feeling being able to go for orgasm first if I want to and then after a short pause, keep going until she comes a couple of times. No guilt after an 'accidental' orgasm any more.
I’m wondering if you’ve noticed an increase in length after fully inflating. I understand the Infla10 X is designed for girth expansion only, which has me a bit concerned — I’m currently 16 days post-op and about 10–20% inflated, but I seem to be around 2 inches shorter than my pre-surgery length.
One thing to be aware of. When I was given the Rigicon product sticker with part numbers and serial numbers, I saw that it said Rigicon Infla10 with no suffixes instead of the Infla10AX that I though I would get (with the understanding that he would pick the best one during the surgery).
When I asked Dr Love about that, he told me to check the model number on the sticker and look it up in the brochure, which I did and found that he'd given me the Infla10X. So perhaps you might find that what you got is not what you thought?
Interesting. I just looked at the stickers with the serial numbers. I have 3 stickers.
Infla10 Length: 24cm (Inflatable Penile Prosthesis)
Infla10 Volume: 110 ml (AdaptiveReservoir)
Infla10 Length: 1cm (RTE ConnectSecure Extenders)
I presume the brochure you are referring to is the ‘User Guide’?
That guide mentions 3 models
Infla10X (the one I think I got)
Infla10AX
Infla10 NarrowBody
Call me stupid but I can’t get a definitive cross reference from serial number description to the User Guide model description.
I hope to find out what I got when I go in for my first check up next week. Having said that I am pretty comfortable with feeling that Chris Love would have picked the ‘best fit’ model for my particular circumstances.
66 years old. Chronic ED since my early 50’s. Got to the point where high doses of pills were virtually useless. Did not want to proceed to injections. On 21 July 2025 implanted with Rigicon Infla10. Length 24cm, Volume 110ml, 1cm Extenders
