Right, here’s what ‘catching print’ means on TikTok

Catching print is a method of spotting how big a man’s penis is by looking at the outline in his trousers. A very necessary skill according to people on TikTok! The phrase was created by dating coach Anwar White, who has more than a million followers on the app and made a video last week titled: “How to catch print.”

“Girl, I heard you were catching print and I couldn’t be prouder. At the end of the day, I don’t want you to be stuck with a USB key or a big ass vitamin bottle. Shout out to Dominicans. Unless you can handle it girl. No shade,” he hilariously said. “But the girls said they wanted my review and I’m here to give that to you.”

He then shared a *very* detailed “guide” on exactly how to catch print, which is basically a graph that shows how three different types of male genitals look through a pair of trousers, and an estimated size (in inches) for each.

First, there’s Type A, which is when the “bulge peaks at the middle or above the inseam,” he said. Type B is when the “bulge peaks at the middle or lower inseam,” and last but definitely not least comes Type C, which is “flat (wrapped) or banana shaped” and a “half circle top to bottom”.

According to the dating coach, Type A means the guy is “four to six inches,” while Type B signifies “six to eight inches” and Type C is “eight inches or more”. So, you can decide what kind of trouser bulge you want to be looking out for, although I don’t think there’s actually any science behind this.
