Ben,

Yes, did have the Tactra. I wrote my post right after waking up. Got terms/models switched around.
Have Titan in right now. Made correction to earlier posts.

An inflatable would probably have given me a little more length and girth, but again, at this stage in my life just happy to be hard. My only concern is how I’m going to wear it. The Tactra doesn’t really bend down as advertised, although I have not tried to be too aggressive during this healing period.


Crtrader,

Thanks for the update. Have you tried sex yet? Do you feel that depending on the tightness of your partner that it could potentially bend and/or lose shape before the entry ? I do fear that.

Principles,

I had one anal experience so far. It was like the old days I can say ;) :D Again, when you want to bend it's not that hard. It's like activating and deactivating the monster :)

In the meantime, rigicon rep reached me for their upcoming clinical trial for pump version - I said no! They told me that their pump version is great etc. but I don't want to have a revision even free of charge.





So what is this upcoming clinical trial of the pump version you mention? Rigicon has the Infla10 3 piece already available. Are they working on something new?

68catfan,

I don't know what they are working on.

But I can say that there will be some "free of charge" inflatables for people in need 8-) :D

Rep told me easier to deflate, 4-pump to full inflate, length-girth expansion more than titan and ams.

I haven’t had sex yet- still sore and subcoronal incisions need to heal a little more. As far as axial strength (penetration)it is very strong, so any kind of sex should be no problem.As I stated before, the only issue I see is it does not just bend down to “wear”. I push it down and it pops back up.

Found it. On the Rigicon website they are advertising the Infla10 X. Looks like their new implant model. Wonder how quickly the top surgeons will give this one a try and see if it's an improvement over current models.

How many weeks now? I was having sex at 6 weeks with my implant installed through penoscrotal incision.

Hi there
As far as I know I am one of the firsts in Europe who is implanted rigicon infla10ax. Anatomical expansion model.
It will be 8 months next week. Let me know if you have any questions. They advertise 4 pumps but it takes around 6 pumps with mine. I dont think its available in the US yet.

Does anybody have any idea what is the going rate to have a tactra or rigicon implanted in the US without any insurance coverage?
