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.
33 yrs old. ED since high school. Pills always hit or miss, mostly ineffective. Finally diagnosed with venous leak in early September 2025.
Rigi10 MPP 11mm rods 20 cm with 0.5 RTE.
Implanted w/ Dr Hakky on January 20, 2026. Recovering.

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.
