Condoms Too Small For Ugandan Men? Sizes Of Condoms Being Sold In Uganda Oppose Nation’s Fight Against AIDS

Condoms are reportedly too small for the men in Uganda. Ugandan MPs have been overwhelmed by a huge number of complaints that majority of the condoms that are being put on sale in Uganda are far too small for Uganda men. The size of the condoms being sold in the area is opposing the nation's fight against AIDS.

MP Tom Aza has always insisted that one size does not fit all. According to Aza, the Parliamentary Committee for HIV/AIDS in Uganda have surveyed that the areas that are hit by the virus the worst have men that "have bigger sexual organs and, therefore, should be considered for bigger condoms."

Aza told NTV Uganda, "When it comes to action, when they're having sexual activity, of course, with the pressure, it bursts."

Moreover, MP Merard Bitekyerezo also informed the same channel, "Some youth are complaining that the condoms they are being given, some of them are too short. Their organs can't fit in them."

Another member of the committee, Sarah Netalisile, said that the current issue of condom sizes was "exposing our younger boys and girls, and all those users of condoms, to the acquiring of HIV and AIDS."

The report of NTV Uganda stated that it is the obligation of the MPs to push for better and more efficient condom supplies, including ones that come in bigger sizes.

This is actually not the first time that penis sizes have become an issue to today's condom manufacturers. In fact, in 2006, the Indian Council of Medical Research have discovered that 60% of the men in Mumbai, India, have penises that are at least 2.4 centimeters, or one inch, shorter than the average international condom sizes. Plus, for 30% of the m en, the size deficit was as even as much as five centimeters or two inches.
