UNITED KINGDOM - Fellas in Glasgow buy more extra-large condoms than anywhere else in the UK, store chiefs revealed yesterday.
In a big boost for Scotland's largest city, known for its hardmen, Tesco bosses reckon blokes have been snapping up the new supersize Durex.
The supermarket giant brought in the XL brand last month due to a surge in customer demand.
And last night a spokeswoman said sales in Glasgow were up 25 per cent week on week. Normal condoms have an average length of 8ins (205mm).
But the new ones stretch to 8½ins (215mm) - and are 1mm wider.
Tesco Healthcare buyer Nicola Evans said: "Demand has been a success, especially north of the border in Scotland.
"In the last year there has been a very strong demand for a larger sized condom and the sales prove that there is a market for them in the UK."
But women shoppers at TescoEXTRA in Springburn, Glasgow, were not so sure. . .
Customer support operator Lynne Scally, 29, said: "I wouldn't say the men of Glasgow are needing them. Not in my experience anyway!"
Council worker Becky Edmunds, 29, on Port Dundas, reckoned sales were fuelled by men on an ego trip.
She said: "I can safely say I've never encountered a man who needed one.
"I reckon they might be buying them to put on their bathroom shelves to show off."
But recruitment consultant Eliza Franceschi, 25, of Glasgow, said: "If it's true then maybe they should set up dating agencies nearby Tesco stores - I might hang about a for a bit as well."
Local cabbie Ronnie Mills, 59, insisted it was time well-endowed men were catered for.
He bragged: "I've actually been asking Tesco to bring them in for a while now."
Other cities in the sales Top 10 included Edinburgh - in seventh - Manchester and Cardiff.
