Question regarding Coloplast comfort

[Osprey_1]

I have a question for my fellow implanted. I have Coloplast IPP. I’m 8 months in. Recently, I read something that basically said at 8 months, I should no longer feel the implant and that it should be comfortable. But when deflated, I feel it constantly. It’s not painful, but it’s uncomfortable. I am aware of it 24 hours a day … at night and during the day. Most of the discomfort is near the top where it’s feels hard, stiff and full. This is magnified by the sensation of being bigger than I was before so it is always rubbing against my cloths. Was the article wrong, or should the discomfort have receded by now? What are your experiences?

I was implanted 3 -18- 25 and it still feels a little foreign to me i have to deflate then add a couple pumps to make it more comfortable.

Was yours implanted Penscrotal or Infrapubic?

Penoscrotal

I had my implant one day after you. Also a Coloplast Titan. Dr Eid uses a penoscrotal approach.

Are you able to cycle to absolute maximum size and stay there comfortably for a long time? If not you might have been sized a bit more aggressively and might need to cycle to stretch things out a bit more. That way when you are deflated it will be a bit more comfortable.

About a month after surgery I realized I was forgetting about the implant more and more. Most of the time I do t think about it. It has become the new normal. It’s comfortable. I notice it at times throughout the day but not constantly.

I’m at five weeks, and when deflated I don’t really notice it, other than the fact it’s larger flaccid than pre-op. It’s also a little more sensitive, sometimes I wear a baby sock over it inside my boxer briefs. The first few weeks I had to be pretty careful how it sat in my briefs, but that is becoming less of an issue over time. I do try to alternate between a left and right hang, in order to keep things from “taking a set” in any one position.

I don’t know why some guys keep feeling the implant inside, have painful dogears, etc, while others don’t. Maybe it comes down to how sensitive your nervous system is in that area. I know over the past few years after a decade of Trimix my penis seems to have become less sensitive, so maybe that’s a factor. I’m hoping over time I will regain that sensitivity now that I’m not on the injections.
