Protecting inflated penis after surgery....an idea that worked
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2024 7:28 pm
I have been 50-80% inflated since surgery over 4 weeks ago. Can't deflate or cycle yet due to swelling. I got some high-waisted underwear and point it straight up under sweat pants, but find it gets irritated sitting down, going from sitting to standing, etc.
I tried two things. The first was a disaster. I bought something like Tiger Balm and rubbed it onto my penis, on the underside, just under the head. It felt great for about a minute, then the intense burning from the menthol kicked in. I had to leave work and go take a bath.
Second thing has worked well. I bought a roll of the flexy tape like they use on your arm after a blood draw. The kind I bought is a little thicker than that. I have worn it all day and my penis was far more comfortable. The turkey gobbler neck has also been reduced....I guess it was getting irritated. Mind you, I do not have it wrapped tightly at all. Just enough to cover it and stay on. I wish I had known about this weeks ago.
Also in the pic is the modified underwear I wear around the house. The dog hasn't said a thing. Swelling is vastly decreased and the off button will be reached soon.
