Just short of three weeks into the problem myself of hiding the Titan bulge, but I’ve discovered that wearing dark slacks makes it much easier to keep the bulge from looking prominent. And have to admit that every day it gets a little less painful to point Mr. happy upwards and squeeze it against my lower abdomen. I’m happy to address this problem compared to the ravages of ED on my psyche.
Decades+ ED; finally ultrasound showed venous leak+arterial insufficiency. Infrapubic (Yay!) implant by Dr. Karpman 8/9/22; with 13 cm distal, 9 proximal Titan. Cleared for new life 9/1/22 and hoping to make up for lost time.

Thanx man. Isn't pointing up to the lower abdomen enough to avoid a bulge? I.e. although you're pointing it up you still can't dress anything you like?

Hey smphead. Not meaning to sound cruel and insensitive, but you should remain a "limphead" and forget about an implant. Seems every suggestion or encouraging bit of information offered is just not good enough for you. Don't get the implant and wear any clothes you want. That seems to be what you want to hear..........enjoy your dick as it is.

Hay smphead. I'm due to get my implant in 5 weeks. Not only am I looking forward to having a working penis again, but I'm also excited about having a bulge.
Embrace your manhood and show it off. Women get to show off thier boobs, so why can't we show off too.
Started with Viagra at age 40. Worked good for about 12 years.
Tried Trimix injections, worked great for about 8 years
Now Trimix no longer works.
I got implant on Oct 26th 2022.

There is no doubt you will be a shower not a grower. I put some pumps in my Titan after deflation so dog ears are not present. I have a bulge then adjust penis position in clothes and go about my business. Look into tommy johns, sepratec or bicycle style underwear. If I deflate completely and don't pump a little then I can fold penis down and tuck against my scrotum (which by the way has a nice full look and feel since IPP) and I can wear dress pants without a bulge but rather with a nice fullness in the pants that is very acceptable. Focus on the positive of your possible implant and realize you will have a "good problem" to deal with afterward.

Fair point - really.
We got to remember that the implant was never supposed to be an upgrade to a natural dick. Even a big natural 7 inch dick will always have a smaller, softer flaccid than most implanted dicks.
And what is the option? Be impotent for the rest of our lives because we are not happy with the unnatural implant flaccid???

Anyway, still your concerns are fair as well. If you have them, then that's it, it's for real.
So being told to forget it, be proud of the bulge, that it's other people's problem if they stare, etc is BS as well.

In my case, I had a pretty average (so I thought at least) 16.5 cm (6.5") bone pressed dick (erect) and 10 cm (4") flaccid. Never, ever thought my bulge was visible or embarassing.
With my Titan that changed of course. In the beginning, before the swelling went down, before I got the hang of the deflation technique, before the Bioflex material softened - my flaccid was not hanging down naturally. It pointed at around 4 am after a few months.
I remember I was hosting a conference at work a couple of months or even less after surgery, standing up for hours in front of colleagues talking. Would the "advice" to be proud, forget what people are thinking, etc have helped? Fuck no. I would have destroyed my career if I showed what people would have thought was a semi in that situation.
I also spend a considerable amount of my spare time in swim shorts by the pool with friends - and all friends' and my own kids - and that was a problem as well. Nobody wants to be suspected of having a semi around kids. Or friends, or friends' wives for that matter.
So I really see your problem.

But let's first just say that if you need an implant, you need an implant, and you can't let this stop you.
You are going to have to accept that the first period after implant will put you in awkward situations. And that even when everything is healed, your flaccid will be larger and fuller. My dick inflated now is about 18 cm (7.1") and about 15 cm (5.9") flaccid. I don't think it is much of a problem. After all these years, it has become quite soft and I don't see it as a problem.
On the other hand, I don't work with children.

I normally recommend the Titan, for the simple reason that I think we get implanted to get the best possible version of our erect dick - as in the hardest and girthiest possible we can get. Not to get the best possible version of our flaccid dicks.
But in your case, if this is really a huge concern, talk to your doc about it and tell him you would really like an LGX then. For sure, that will be the smallest flaccid you can get with an implant. And it seems all LGX people are happy with their hardness as well.
