Trojan Condoms Prepares to Battle Penis Shaming
Trojan Campaign Takes on Penis Shaming
Despite being the brand famous for having popularized the Magnum-sized condom – the ones in the black-and-gold wrapper, for those unfamiliar – Trojan condoms is now stepping into the sociocultural arena to address penis shaming.
Just in time for Pride Month, the condom and intimacy products manufacturer is hoping to pair its support of the LGBTQ+ community with a new campaign designed to inspire men to take pride in their penises.

According to the results of Trojan’s study, 60 percent of guys report that they are unhappy with the size or shape of their manhood – a number that skyrockets to three-quarters amongst gay men. These high numbers may not be particularly shocking, especially when the same data reports that 61 percent of adults, both men and women, have judged the size and shape of a man's penis.
With this in mind, Trojan will be launching a new hashtag – #PrideInMine – and will be taking to the streets in the Big Apple for WorldPride NYC in support of this initiative. You’ll also be able to join in on the campaign with ice cream characters that let you easily share your pride for your penis.

With #SizeQueen trending and a small penis emoji apparently on the horizon, there can be little doubt that penis shaming is a very big deal – particularly for men on the shorter side of the sliding scale. From playground teasing to locker room taunts to social media slams from ex-girlfriends or lovers, men the world over are quite familiar with the sensitivity associated with body shaming regarding their personal equipment.
The intimacy and family-planning product manufacturer also unearthed a seriously dark side to the data, as well. More than 6 in 10 of the men who reported that they were unhappy with their private parts also engaged in sexual practices that they considered to be dangerous or unsafe.
Men should be proud of their penis, no matter its structure or size. That's a message worth hearing.
