• Grower : A penis that starts off smaller when flaccid but expands significantly when erect. Think Transformers but with fewer car chases.

• Shower : A penis that looks about the same whether it’s soft or hard. What you see is basically what you get.

Both are completely normal. Studies suggest roughly half of men fall into each category, though there’s no hard line (pun intended). Some people land somewhere in the middle, with a little of both.

The terms grew legs (and other appendages) through locker room banter, porn comparisons, and pop culture jokes. For generations, guys have compared notes about their package size in ways that are equal parts curious, competitive, and insecure.

But here’s the truth: whether you’re a grower or a shower, your penis is doing exactly what it was designed to do. There’s no evolutionary gold star for looking bigger at rest. The only measure that really counts is whether it’s healthy, functional, and bringing you (and your partners) pleasure.

Here’s the million-dollar question: does it matter whether you’re a grower or a shower? The short answer is no.

The long answer: unless you’re competing in a nude modeling competition where “flaccid hang” is the main event, nobody really cares. Most people are far more focused on connection, chemistry, foreplay, and technique than on whether your penis pulled a Clark Kent or stayed Superman all along.

Why do some guys grow dramatically while others stay about the same? It comes down to tissue elasticity, blood flow, and individual anatomy.

• Growers usually have more elastic penile tissue that expands dramatically with increased blood flow.

• Showers tend to have a flaccid size that’s already closer to their maximum capacity, so the difference looks less dramatic.

Neither is healthier, stronger, or more “manly.” It’s just variation, like height or shoe size.

Porn has given us a warped sense of what’s “normal.” Performers are often showers because it’s more visually consistent on camera. But that doesn’t mean showers are the standard.

The reality: most people fall within an average range whether they’re growers or showers. That means if you’ve ever felt insecure about being a grower because your flaccid size isn’t “impressive,” remember that it’s completely normal. And if you’re a shower? Cool. But no medal’s coming in the mail.

Your sexual performance has way more to do with communication, foreplay, and confidence than with whether you’re a grower or a shower.

• Good with your hands? That counts.

• Know how to delay climax when needed? Even better. (Hint: Popstar Delay Spray can help.)

• Interested in boosting semen volume or flavor? That’s where our Popstar Volume + Taste Supplement comes in handy.

See? None of those things depend on what your penis looks like when soft.

• Stop comparing: Your penis is not in a competition.

• Prioritize function over form: Erections that are reliable and satisfying are far more important than soft size.

• Try some upgrades: Supplements like Popstar Volume + Taste can help you feel more confident about what you bring to the table. Delay Spray can help extend your stamina. And Popstar Personal Lubricants? Well, everyone’s a winner there.

At the end of the day, whether you’re a grower or a shower is like asking whether you’re a morning person or a night owl. It’s an interesting tidbit, sure, but it doesn’t determine your worth, your sexual power, or your ability to satisfy yourself or your partners.

If you want to focus on what really matters? Build confidence, explore pleasure, communicate openly, and maybe give yourself a little extra edge with products designed to enhance performance and satisfaction.

Because the truth is, nobody’s handing out trophies for flaccid aesthetics. What matters is how you play the game once things get going.
