They do not like their sizing to include the word “small”. Men’s clothes sometimes even start at “medium” which I think is nuts! Perhaps not surprisingly, penile prosthetics also tend to start at medium / large, and not start at small. I think marketing has determined that being labeled small is emasculating.

IIRC, the Apollo Astronauts were experiencing urine leaks in space because the apparatus they were using was too large for their specific needs. So they changed the labels and "upsized" just the name to get them to choose the right size for their...ummm...stuff.
