You know what they say about big hands? Big gloves.
While the big hand and foot theory has been disproven over the years, a doctor has now revealed the body part that might well reveal the true length of a man's penis.
Its long been a joke among lads in schools that the bigger the better, but you only need to speak to the man with the world's biggest to understand why that might be less of a blessing and more of a curse.

Although having a long schlong or an inspiring ding-a-ling can definitely help you in the bedroom (just ask Pete Davidson), women's preferred size is actually far more manageable than you might expect, so don't lose hope if you're still waiting on your weiner to grow.
Although it's fair to say it doesn't really matter so long as you turn up with a can-do attitude in the bedroom, there may well be an easier way to understand the equipment a bloke might be working with by simply checking out a more visible body part during the day.
Dr Rena Malik, a urologist from the US, appeared on The Diary of a CEO podcast and told ladies and gentleman everywhere what they really need to keep their eyes on if they want to get a picture of the crown jewels without having to enter the Tower of London first.
She said: "There's one study, it's a Japanese study, where they looked at only Japanese men, so there are some limitations — but essentially they measured all these body parts and penile length.

"And what they found was that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot length."
A 2023 study from China involving 420 men aged between 20 and 56 also found that the centimetres of your chopper was more closely related to nose size than ear or testicle size, as previously also theorised.
Dr Malik added during the podcast: "While we've seen sperm quality change over the last 50 years, we have also seen penile length change.
"And they've actually seen that penile length is increasing, and they think that this is because the onset of puberty is changing and boys are getting exposed to factors that are making them go through puberty earlier.

"And, hence, they are getting more exposure to testosterone and developing longer penises, so that's a sort of interesting theoretical thing."
Well, if the study is true, then it turns out that Pinocchio is more real man than real boy.
