As we head into 2026, it looks like the popularity of so-called skinny jabs is only going to grow. While some continue to question why patients are spending hundreds on the likes of Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy instead of trying to shed the pounds in the kitchen or the gym, most know it's not that simple.
Going from an exclusive drug for celebrities, the price of GLP-1 injections has been plummeting as waistlines shrink and the number of users soars. This is only set to continue thanks to a new pill form, and despite continued horror stories about potential side effects, even the World Health Organization has performed a U-turn on the jabs.
As well as proposed benefits for vital organs like our hearts and livers, Ozempic and the others are apparently affecting patients in the trouser department – for better or for worse.
While some women are dealing with the unwanted effect of 'Ozempic vagina', men are apparently rejoicing thanks to 'Ozempic penis', and both sexes are struggling with an adverse 'Ozempic sex'.

You might've read our previous articles about Ozempic penis and have been dashing to the doctors, but according to one man who supposedly experienced 'Mounjaro penis', it's a very real thing that saw him grow an extra three inches...down there.
Speaking to The Sun, Mason Newman explained how he dropped from a size XXXL to a size S in clothing as he lost a whopping 12 stone. It sounds like he went from an S in another department, with Newman claiming he's one of those who can back up the Ozempic penis rumors. In terms of why he turned to Mounjaro, he said: "I tried the keto diet, water fasting. I tried juices. I tried eating nothing but two chicken breasts a day and nothing else.
“That lasted three weeks and was more of a mental challenge than anything. I couldn’t stick to them.

“I saw Oprah and people like that started taking it… then rumours about the Kardashians.
“I sat on it for about a month and just thought, ‘F*** it. Why not try it? It felt like a cheat code – an easy way to lose weight at the time."
As for his 'lil chap', Newman says the first few weeks were rough, but he got to experience the unexpected benefit: "The first thing I noticed was I grew three inches on my penis. Because when the fat goes you actually do see more of yourself."

Doctors have already explained this phenomenon, reiterating that shrinking belly fat makes your member seem more prominent thanks to the pubic fat pad shrinking. We'd like to again reiterate that size doesn't matter (remember that it's the motion in the ocean), but for those who are bothered, Mounjaro penis might be something to consider.
At least Newman is happy, and instead of spending $2,6000 a month on takeaways, he now shells out just $295 a month for his 15mg injections.
Remember to consult a medical professional if you're thinking of going on the skinny jabs.
