I’ve been selective about the pants I wear to work; only my most relaxed fit khakis, so far. I’m getting used to it as time goes on. What has helped is wearing tight underwear that keeps the bulge in close. I would recommend going ahead and experiment with some new underwear now to see what you can find that is comfortable and removes all your current bulge. I think if you can do that you will be able to get the new look within reason. The new flaccid does want to “spring forward”, but it can be pulled in close. It’s just going to depend on what’s comfortable. Sometimes the flaccid will try to hang straight down the side of my leg and that looks worse than the increased bulge. I haven’t had a problem controlling that, but it requires some manipulation to get it back centered in my underwear; you need to have some privacy for that adjustment.
All in all, it’s absolutely a wonderful problem to have compared to your body not functioning properly! Try the underwear now.
Thanx buddy!! So are you saying you can't wear jeans or dress pants because it would be too much showing of a semi-erect or too much showing the outline of your penis and glans?
No, that's not what I'm saying. In fact I can wear Levi jeans just fine, the bulge is bigger than it used to be but looks normal. What I'm saying is I have an athletic build; I'm very lean and have well defined glutes and quads. I've been aware of women checking out my butt for several years, which is nice. That also results in a perceptible package bulge that, per-surgery, looked (I'm assuming) good but not obnoxious. I wear Dockers khakis to work. I have two styles that I used to wear, one is tighter on my glutes and quads & package, and the other is a little looser. Right now I'm not wearing the tighter ones because I'm concerned that my package is too visible. Before the surgery, I ordered some relaxed fit Dockers because I thought I may have to wear those. They are just as tight in the crotch as the others so I'm not wearing them.
I've also experimented with different sizes of underwear, and a couple brands. I thought I would need a larger size of underwear to handle the increased size of the package; remember you're not only going to have a larger flaccid, but you're also going to have the pump in your scrotum. What I found was the smaller size of underwear holds / pulls everything in closer and works the best to conceal the bulge and any outline of your penis. Having a well defined pouch in your underwear will probably be helpful so your penis doesn't slip out and hang down the side of your leg! That's when, in my case, the outline of the penis, including gland, is most visible. I do have to adjust the package often to get it tucked down and pushed back a little so I don't look like I have an erection. There have been a few times while walking through the office that I felt like it was on display, and I just put one hand in my pocket and it took care of it until I could adjust. Another thing, while sitting in a chair at your desk you will probably find your pants tighten up. If that's the case now, it will be worse. You will need to consider that if you have people coming into your office to chat and they can see your crotch. When / if you lean back it is going to be noticeable. I had a guy come into my office a couple weeks ago, not thinking, I just leaned back and all the sudden he had something he had to go do. Not sure if he thought I had an erection or if it was even noticeable, but I thought about it and now I take steps to avoid that.
It's all doable, and you'll be fine. Think it through, it's a real thing. The answer is going to be with your cloths. Also, make sure you don't have to go back to work before you are able to deflate! And I would recommend giving yourself up to a week extra to get used to it. That's what I did and I was still self conscious when I had to go back to work, but it was good and I'm fine with it now. I've been back in the office for three weeks now and haven't had any uncomfortable issues; but I'm still aware of the fact that I have to manage it somewhat.
