Outward pressure vs cylinder size for MAX GIRTH

[Jsmith194589]

I’ve been going in circles on this and AI keeps giving me inconsistent answers. Maybe someone here can settle it: when it comes to girth, does the extra rigidity/outward pressure of the Coloplast Titan actually make the penis girthier than the Rigicon X, even though the X has a larger cylinder size (23 mm vs 21 mm)? In other words, which matters more for girth — cylinder size or outward pressure? I’d be grateful for anyone who can explain this to me.

IDK ,but have you been able to inflate to or near 100%, see what your girth is now ?

Hi, in my humble opinion I think you have two limits here.

One is the diameter of implant and the other is the stretchiness of corpora cavernosa. Whatever is lesser will dictate the maximum girth.

Example: You have very scarred corporal bodies and Rigicon X. Your corpora will allow maximum stretch of 20mm per cavernosal body, however, your implant allows up to 23mm. In total you will get maximum 20mm of girth per corporal body as the corpora is the limiting factor.

Mayby in the future you will undergo TEP or the corpora will stretch a little, so now your corporal bodies can expand to 22mm. Once again your maximum girth will be 22mm because the corpora is the limiting factor here.

I haven't taken into account tissue swelling around your penis or healing for example, this might allow for more expansion.

I’m at around 6” girth now (aroused) but I have to stop pumping when it gets too painful. My guess is that I’m sitting around 90% inflation. It’s also difficult for me to engorge my glands and corpus spongiosum when I’m aroused because of the pressure. I’m hoping this comes with time.

Jsmith194589, if you inflate to 70-80% do you get engorgement with less pressure ?

I'm not sure what you mean by "outward pressure"? Where are you getting that "outward pressure" statistic from?

Pressure will be decided by how hard you pump, the more fluid you pump in, the more pressure against your corpora cavernosa. If you want a lot of pressure pump with both hands.

The limiting factor for girth will be either the cilinder girth, or your internal corpora cavernosa girth, whichever is smaller.

By the way, how happy are you with your implant so far?

I’m still trying to understand whether increased rigidity actually translates to more resistance against the tunica, and therefore greater girth. For instance, a balloon can be inflated to impressive girth outside the body, but once inside, its material offers little resistance to the tunica’s constraints. With the Rigicon AX, I know it’s designed to be less rigid than the X since it also expands in length. But does that reduced rigidity mean it ultimately produces less girth, even if both models can reach the same diameter outside the body?

Less rigidity does not mean less girth. The girth is given by the diameter which you stated in your first post. Rigidity means how likely the implant is to keep it's shape or to bend under a certain pressure. Since the AX expands in 2 directions it's shape tends to change when you inflate it, it is more likely to produce buckling or bending. While the X does not expand in length it is more likely to stay straight like an arrow. This is why the X is more likely to be used for peyronies. At the end of the day, the more fluid you pump the more girth you will get. If you are pumping with both hands, until not a single drop of fluid can get into the cylinders, and the pump is hard like a marble. Then it means you maxed out your girth. Either because you reached the limit of your corpora, or you reached the limit of the device (23mm in the case of the X and AX).

P.S: this is easier noticed having demo devices side by side and inflating both with your own hands and bending them. If you haven't ever done so, you could ask your doctor if he has them and you can play with them on a table

so you are now at 6 inch girth , minus one from your original . but myself ,i had a plus 6ish girth and with asian women ,some ,like my wife would complain in doggie style . 6 " is more than ample girth and you will never disappoint any partners in my opinion ,based on experience .
i imagine you might have had a few complaints in the past ?
Back in my late 20s i dated an Asian beauty , half chinese ,half Korean . and her words in her accent " you cock to big!" me ;what ? girls love big cock ... no, it to big !
but ,no western girl ever said that .they have a different anatomy.

i dont have a ipp , but from members post ,it looks like in time ,if the ipp can inflate enough you would be able to recover your pre-op girth . the vacuum pump has proven to be a good aid in that ,along with the cycling the same time .
good luck . and have fun stretching out some women lol

As I see it, the IPP itself does not contribute much to rigidity while inflated to less than its maximum theoretical (outside body) size. It's very elastic compared to the tissues of the corpora and tunica.

What most determines rigidity is the internal fluid pressure pressing against the relatively inelastic tissues of your dong.

In my case, pumping to the max makes it as hard as a steel rod, which is probably not optimum for sensation when doing the deed, but I'm trying my 'hardest' to increase girth.

Luckily, I have a young Chinese wife, so my 6" and 4.5/5.5" is enough for now.

Ideally, I'd like to have more girth so that I could back off in the pumping to allow a slightly softer dong while preserving girth.

I think there's a lot of confusion on this forum when people talk of increasing length and girth without specifying whether the increase is over pre-ED or over pre-op dimensions. I personally feel that recovery to pre-op size is the easiest and fastest, recovery to pre-ED size less so and increasing length and girth above the size that nature gave you is the hardest to achieve.
