I told Dr. Kramer the next day when he called (surprised the fuck out of me that a Dr. would do a house call, but hey, I was happy). He just said to bend it up for a day. I was in no mood to argue, so I just laid in bed with my jock strap holding Fred in place. Thank goodness it was only for a day.

Dr. Kramer does that sort of care. He is one in a million. I never met him, but he was VERY generous with me via email when I was searching for a surgeon.

So, how well did it work (holding Fred in place)?

For me the jock strap that I was sent home with was not comfortable to lift my penis to my belly. It tended to pull down on the glans and it tried to fold or compress my penis lengthwise which was very uncomfortable to the point of pain. That's why I settled on foam tape.


I discarded the jockstrap I was sent home with, but had one of my own that was roomier. I was never directed to keep my penis flat to my belly. I just did it because the pouch was roomy. It is interesting how each surgeon has different protocols for the same procedure. I assume the reasoning for having your penis taped to your belly is to achieve a higher angle when pumped, is that correct? In my case I quickly changed to the direct opposite and wore tighter underwear with my penis pointed down. That seemed to help me penis hang in a more natural way.

I think the "to the belly" instructions are to ensure the best upward hang when it's inflated after healed. I only did it a few days because it but like hell Now at 71 days I can hang any damn way I choose to without pain (other than the tips in the glans).

Since I was in a crappy mood on day of surgery, it was not a problem holding Fred in place. Just lay down, legs on pillows stacked 3 high. Next day, took out catheter, then went back to bed. My friend said I should walk, I bit his head off, lol. Put my legs up again, pointed Fred toward belly, and good until about 4pm. Got up, did my business and watched TV.
We went through this in August, so he just let me be and let me do my bitching and moaning the 2nd time around too. No guests to worry about, so I was fine walking in my pajama bottoms with my dick hanging out, all the while my balls hurting.
Looking back, since I was all wrapped up in gauze, my dick was not pointing to belly that 1st day, so I must have done it after I unwrapped the gauze and wore my pajama bottoms.

I just used my tight boxer briefs and folded up a wash rag and place it over my penis. The briefs held the rag in place and kept things from moving around to much.
18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.

question, since my surgery 6 days ago, I am erect 24/7. I have been wearing a jock strap with hole in it because I can't bend it up or down. I never asked when to stop wearing the strap. I put on a pair of briefs and it feels so much better, but no ball support.

Thanks

Mike

Isn't your dick sensitive?
I had to walk around naked for a while because everything was sensitive.
You, my friend, are one of the lucky ones. Up to this day, I cannot wear regular underwear.
I just posted in my thread that I just got back from gym and actually put on regular underwear. Have to take it off in a bit because the tug down of the underwear on my dick is getting uncomfortable. So much for the thought of trying to be normal in clothes.

I used a Jock Strap on the outside of the tighty-Whities and that was comfortable for me to get by with. Also the very tight underwear works. I am 3 years out and still using the tight underwear. My go to brand is Life by Jockey from walmart, I use a size "small" and I am 6'2", 220 lbs.

Ha I love the title of this thread. Ah if only my penis reached to my belly. Well at least it is visible now. No more Mr Turtle. :)

I am almost two weeks out from surgery and just started going back to work regularly. My unit is probably half inflated he had it fully inflated for the first couple days then reduced it. But it sticks pretty much straight out so trying to adjust it up or down pulls it. I bought the Seperatec boxers which help some but nothing I have found will support the sack without the dick rubbing which hurts like hell. The jock strap from the hospital may as well have been made from 60 grit sandpaper the way it felt.
