Inflatable vs Malleable - My Experience with Both & Infection

[LastHope]

Would you happen to know if anyone else on this board has a Tactra?

Thanks, LastHope! Yeah, I just remembered: also JH2007 and CautiouslyOptimistic.

Do you experience buckling with your Genesis?

Thanks @niceguy1, for sharing your IPP vs MPP experience. I have the same diameter Genesis rods and haven’t had any buckling or folding. Your complaints are concerning. Thank you for sharing and being brutally honest. Maybe it's time for Coloplast to fix this problem.

If an MPP’s max 13 mm diameter is notably smaller than the corporal diameter i.e., not a finger-in-glove fit, it’s probably not the right prosthesis for that person. I have a tight fit and didn't suffer girth loss issues.

Personally, I like staying hard all the time, it fits my introverted and WFH lifestyle. The only reason I’d consider an IPP is the potential for increased sensation by deflating to 80% and for some tunica stretching to boost stimulation during intercourse, which might help me climax faster. I do experience delayed ejaculation with my MPP, but I’m enjoying the journey and end result 100%.

I’d love to get my dick on an IPP, though I might not stick with it if it doesn’t last at least 10 years. For me, reliability with 80% performance beats peak horsepower at the expense of reliability. If my future less then 10 year lifespan IPP fails, it would be a good opportunity to try a Tactra. Ready2go's Tactra review is also inspiring to me.

Thanks again for your insights. I may share a follow-up comparison too in the coming months between IPP vs MPP, not after field testing with 20+ girls (man you're a rockstar), but with my one and only wifey.

Wow, 5 Tactras already. No bucking here. 13mm diameter has been on the tighter side for me and I'm not 6+ inches, so structurally it feels intact.

Rigicon 13mm x 20cm ..no buckling issues ..

CautiouslyOptimistic went from Genesis to Tactra and has expressed greatest satisfaction with that model, citing the “hardness.” JH2007 is a literal pornstar, so that’s a good affirmation for the integrity of the Tactra. The Tactra might be the safest bet generally speaking for malleables.

Super interesting thread. Thank you Niceguy for the background and deep detail here! I am really happy that your second IPP went well and is meeting all your expectations.

I had a virtual consultation with Hakky recently and am actually traveling to Atlanta in a few weeks to have him perform diagnostics to better understand the root cause of my ED.

During my consultation, Hakky indicated that Rigi10 was quickly becoming his favorite MPP for a number of reasons, rigidity being one of them. He did not seem as fond of the Genesis and Tactra due to the way the tips of the prosthesis are shaped. He did indicate, however, that a common Rigi10 complaint is that it takes a long time for some guys to figure out how to bend it / get the hinge to work. This seems to be in large part influenced by rigidity of the prosthetic too.

Reading this forum, I feel this is a very common complaint with Rigi10 (easymoney has spoken about this) and have seen similar complaints pwith Tactra too. The trade off between these MPPs and the Genesis MPP seems to be that the Genesis may not be as rigid but is easier to manage in terms of how bendable it is, etc. Also, knowing the axial rigidity scores compared to Tactra and Rigi10, I can definitely see how Niceguy might have been experiencing such buckling.

But I do think all this is so patient to patient - I think of The Driver and Duke Cicero who have both posted extensively about their Genesis malleables and how happy they are with them, whereas Niceguy has not had the same experience.

All to say - it’s such a gift that we have this forum where everyone can share their personal experiences. I know it’s been incredibly helpful for me reading through and will help me make my decision once it’s time to pull the trigger on an MPP or IPP later this year. So thanks again Niceguy for returning to this thread and sharing your experience!

I would like to know what 13mm in an MPP equates to in girth ?

And me with my tactra , it falls down with just gravity , zero need to bend at all.
i think what method to implant it is the difference . i had penoscrotal. and after watching a video on a malleable being implanted that way . The rods had to be doubled over to be inserted . i would prefer to have to bend it up and have it stay that way , but it seems either way that won't last with time , eventually it drops to a 4 o-clock position . i could be wrong though
When they insert through the top of the shaft , the rods are not bent at all . They are in Virgin condition .

CautiouslyOptimistic went from Genesis to Tactra and has expressed greatest satisfaction with that model, citing the “hardness.” JH2007 is a literal pornstar, so that’s a good affirmation for the integrity of the Tactra. The Tactra might be the safest bet generally speaking for malleables.

They reported the "feel" post-op, not the actual experience. And Justin Hunt(JH2007) isn’t active in the industry anymore. Honestly, I’d take his feedback with a grain of salt—his dick is way bigger than any malleable, so it probably wobbled a lot just from inevitable undersizing.

I’m still waiting on feedback from cautiouslyoptimistic though.

So far, there’s zero feedback confirming that Tactra can even bend, even slightly.

Come on, guys—our discussions here actually shape this shitty industry. The feedback we share makes insane ripple effects.

Speaking of ripple effects, there are only two positive experiences with Genesis. And to be honest, they didn’t provide any technical sexual details, which makes me question their experience. All their feedback feels like Hollywood drama—no raw, technical “franktalk.”
And that mislead me myself..

I asked one of them about buckling and whether any positions became difficult with Genesis, and his reply was, “I’m cutting grass now and my partner’s at the grocery store.”.... WTF?
Maybe fake positive feedback just follows the “whatever helps me sleep at night” rule?

JH2007 and I had the same doctor. Indeed he’s bigger than any conventionally-sized malleable; he had to receive a custom-made Tactra to accommodate his size. Not sure where you heard he isn’t working anymore. Source?

Good luck hearing back from Cautious; I’ve messaged him multiple times; he doesn’t ever respond.
