Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The penis is apparently on trend in the fashion world. But don’t take our word for it - remember that 18k carat gold penis necklace by Tom Ford? The risqué pendant was selling for £500. Then, for autumn/winter 2015 Rick Owens bared the male models’ private parts on the catwalk during Paris Fashion Week with some of the clothing pieces having strategically placed peepholes.

So yes, the male member is having a moment (sort of).

Now, a pair of penis-shaped, Pepto Bismol pink flip flops with pearl straps are on the market for £11.78 (£4.57 plus £7.19 postage - expensive post because they are delivered from the US). They’re available in one size only and are labelled as “dick penis pecker pink flip flops”.

But while it might be thought that such novelty items are best reserved for hen parties only, others, like Miley Cyrus, might think just different.
