        LMAO at the replies here. It does not affect you if they are called mansize or not. They will be exactly the same size just in different packaging. Why do you care?

        Total PC BS gone mad... "Mansized" is a recognised brand tag, and has been for years. Again the PC B*ll*cks Brigade have to moan about something irrelevant. Next they'll be trying to "gender neutralise" feminine hygiene products for being too female gender specific! Just STOP!
