Trying to Decide Between IPP and Malleable for my case… calling on opinions of the Bionic Brotherhood

I decided to start with an MPP and hope to get 20+ years out of it. My surgeon was initially a little hesitant, but he also said he felt more comfortable with this plan because “it’s best to have few surgeries as possible” when you’ve got a long time horizon. By the time I ever need a replacement, I’m confident Coloplast will have refined their tubing or overall reliability and hell maybe even something like a Bluetooth-enabled implant will exist by then.

For me, the biggest practical factor was insurance. I didn’t want to risk an IPP lasting less than 12 years and then discover that my job’s health plan wouldn’t cover a replacement, leaving me with a $25k bill. I’ll take that gamble when I’m in my 50s.

I also like the idea that if I ever move to an IPP, it will feel like a real upgrade in both functionality and quality of life, something to look forward to. Going from an IPP back to an MPP, on the other hand, would feel more like a downgrade.

That said, I completely understand why someone would choose the better IPP functionality while they’re still younger. It really is a tough call and everyone has to weigh the trade-offs a little differently.

Wow...congratulations man!...I'm 27 and will get rigi10 (most probably) this December or january.

Your write up felt like you were pulling words straight out of my mind...especially the paragraph before the last.

Who is your surgeon? Please when convenient write a journal about your experience.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and I'm glad that you have put this nightmare behind.

dj,

Did you loose any girth or is it to soon to tell ?

Also; what brand and size did you get ?

Thanks,

It's hasn't been a week since my surgery. As of right now I did lose some girth.
From what other's have told me, I should wait a few months before concluding since there is inflammation and my tissue is still adjusting.

Rigicon. 11mm rods

Thanks!

If I remember, I'll ask my surgeon if he's okay with being mentioned. He told me that implant surgeons do indeed lurk this site lol.
He's not well known despite his skill, and doesn't self promote. I found him through referral from an unrelated doctor.

I plan making a post in a month or so when I've had the chance to bend and use it.

Why are you enumerating obvious perks of ipp that i didn't deny (even though I do partially)...and I haven't said mpps are perfect either...it has some huge drawbacks as well..but for me personally (and I believe many younger folks as well) lack of acceptable reliability is a dealbreaker.

My reply wasn't about ipp vs mpp and many of my previous posts have never been too...but non-objectivity is the curse of this forum

The OP asked for forum members' opinions (see post title), which by definition is subjective, regarding IPP vs MPP. For you to put down our subjective responses in this forum and question our objectivity, is rather silly. At least many of us actually have an implant that we can share our experiences and opinions about.

However, I disagree with the way you put the perks of ipp and there are some inaccuracies with them.
Why do you think mpp is not good for any sexual position With the proper installation and most rigid ones (rigi10 and tactra) ?

My comment about sexual positions is not that MPPs are not good at any position but that IPPs, by in large, are effective at all positions. I have read posts from some MPP posters that have had difficulty with some positions, particularly with longer dicks, due to bending.

My "perks" as you call them, was meant to be an IPP vs MPP comparison.. which one would score better in each category. I think IPP wins in this category.

And regarding daily comfort, there are guys here who had an ipp and hated the presence of tubes/pump and later switched to a mpp...and they explicitly said "feeling more natural".

I'm sure there are. I never said there weren't any. Again, this is my comparison of the 2 types of implants and which win in this category.

I have read far more testimonials from guys, myself included, that feel their IPP is very natural and comfortable feeling when flaccid. I really have not read a whole lot of complaints about feeling the tubes and pump etc. Not an issue for me at all. Also, common sense would tell me that having a soft, erection length dick is going to be more comfortable than having a hard, erection length dick 24/7. Especially with an active lifestyle.

Also regarding size maintenance I have seen guys with ipps who lost inches in length..and I believe that's because ipp size maintenance needs optimal cycling ...which is a chore by itself...and it isn't always possible for some men..Yes it's the best to preserve girth and that's a drawback with a mpp but it's no way prominent or significant in average and below average dicks in terms of girth.
Yeah I totaly agree with you... girthy dicks should never go with a mpp and I clarified the reasons before.

Cycling is hardly a chore and I do not see anyone with an IPP complaining about this. I've lost count how many times I went to cycle and I got so aroused I wound up rubbing one out or fucking the hell out of my fiance It's actually been a fun thing to do, especially after years of ED. You cannot convince me that having to undersize the length of MPP's to prevent erosion, while good drs try to aggressively size IPPs, gives them equal chances at maintaining size. And yes, girth is no debate. IPP wins with size maintenance probability, in my subjective opinion. Of course there are deviations to this for each but I'm talking about overall probability.

And the idea of what's the best plan ...is it ipp to mpp or mpp to ipp is still controversial and disputed..for me personally I can't accept the ipp reliability so atleast if I have to switch to an ipp then I know it's my only option and I will be by then content with it and its' shitty reliability
..by then maybe it becomes mentally acceptable...but if I did ipp first I would be constantly thinking what if I had an mpp and bought peace of mind. You said it..since you are already girthy it is an "easy" choice to get an ipp.

I can respect your concern and decision.

And why the hell do you guys talk about revisions as easy peasy projects ? ...let alone you talk about prosthetic infections as a cold flu that's guaranteed to be solved.

For me, after talking with several high volume drs about this issue, I believe them when they tell me that their infection rates have come down significantly to almost nill over the last few years as they've improved their processes and anti-infection techniques. I believe that the experience and quality of the dr matters tremendously regarding this. Also, there are countless testimonials here that confirm that recovery from revisions is much much easier than the initial surgery.

Again, these are my subjective opinions based on my personal IPP experience, user posts and research.
