Condoms 'too big' for Indian men

By Damian Grammaticus BBC News, Delhi

There is a "lack of awareness" over condom sizes

A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.

The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research.

India hits the billion mark

India has 16% of the world's population but just 2.5% of its land

India's population has passed the one billion mark, according to the country's census commission.

However, experts see little cause for cheer because of diminishing natural resources and increasing poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.

News that the one-billionth baby had been born was officially announced in Delhi at 1232 local time (0702 GMT).

Large condoms for S African men

South African men might enjoy buying extra large condoms

A range of extra-large condoms has been launched in South Africa, to cater for "well-endowed" men.

"A large number of South African men are bigger and complain about condoms being uncomfortable and too small," said Durex manager Stuart Roberts.
