Johnnyborg’s Malleable Journey

[easymoney]

I'm on my 2nd Rigicon 1st one bent fine 2nd one will not bend at all after 3 visits to surgeon there is no answer except to replace it or go to a different implant. Chose wisely both implant brand as well as surgeon.

Are u able to conceal it right now??
Is it concealable upwards??

Some guys conceal it upwards but I don’t like how it feels. I don’t like putting pressure on the underside by the glans and distal parts of the shaft. I also feel like with gravity, it wants to pull forward anyways. Better for me to have to concealed forward and slightly to the left.

It creates a bulge in my trousers that is noticeable to me but likely not super noticeable to others. It isn’t “vulgar” looking or pointy like an erection or anything. But it’s there. And I’ll be honest, I’m a bit self conscious about it right now.

Thanks for sharing easymoney - the 13mm Rigi10 rods are getting this reputation, unfortunately. And I don’t think the Genesis 13mm has the same issue, but I do imagine that the wider width rods are generally most difficult to bend.

It’s very odd that your surgeon is so dismissive of the issue. I avoided the 13mm and even the 12mm Rigi10 on purpose because of the reputation of those girths being very difficult to bend and conceal - but this is not something that many surgeons seem to be aware of. Very surprising.

Do you think you might revise to a smaller width or a Genesis?

You're right, JohnnyBorg. The 13mm Genesis has good bending properties, but it’s still not picture perfect. If it’s a 'social bending day,' I still have to re-bend him every few hours as he tends to gradually spring back.

Glad I’m not alone LastHope when I was reading journals prior to my implant, I really breezed past when guys would talk about getting used to being a shower instead of a grower. Now that I’m living it, I’m surprised at how “aware” I am of the new bulge.

Today I had a chance to take a couple photos and with a nice untucked flannel, I really don’t think most folks would think anything of it. But it’s definitely there - and with an untucked shirt for me, it does look a bit more “pronounced” comparatively,

I really like how you put it: "battle of the bulge."
I watched a YouTube video about implants last night and one dude commented sadly about how he stopped getting morning wood. This morning when I woke up, I thought to myself, "Man, I’ve now got morning wood, afternoon wood, evening wood, and night wood." What a way to live. Just happy wood!

and our IPP brothers obviously have an advantage here since they aren’t hard round the clock, but from what I understand they all have to get used to being showers as well just comes with the territory I guess.
