Jockstrap

A jockstrap is normally used for support when the wearer is taking part in sports or other physical activity, but some guys might choose to wear one for everyday use. Jockstraps typically consist of an elastic waistband, two straps of elastic around the rear, and a supportive pouch, which might contain a pocket for an impact-resistant cup.

By the way, its not a Jock Strap thats a different thing!

Bike Jockstrap

The name ‘jockstrap’ comes from ‘bike jockey strap’, which was the original name for these garments when they were only used by cyclists or, as they were known at the time, ‘bicycle jockeys’.

Nowadays, cyclists are more likely to wear padded lycra shorts for added comfort, rather than a bike jockstrap. After being initially designed for cyclists and then horseriders, the jockstrap then grew popular in other sports.

Sports Jockstrap

Sports jockstraps have always been popular in American Football, where they used to be standard equipment. They were first used as ‘modesty girdles’ to prevent the players from being charged with corrupting public morals by leaving their genitalia unsupported.

Athletic jockstraps sold incredibly well until the 1980s when the trend changed towards shorts. Sportsmen now mainly prefer to wear more supportive neoprene shorts, but jockstraps are still made as an item of fashion and an alternative to briefs and boxers.

Neoprene Shorts

Neoprene shorts offer support and compression, and can be worn to keep muscles warm and flexible while exercising. They can also be used to ease the pain associated with thigh, groin and hamstring injuries, speeding up the wearer’s recovery.

Otherwise neoprenes are known as compression shorts, these are the sportsman’s underwear of choice. A good pair will be flexible and breathable.

Skimpy Male Underwear

The fashion jockstrap is one of very few choices if you’re looking for skimpy male underwear. You would certainly bring a smile to any ladies face should be surprise her by sporting a pair without her knowledge then showing her. You also could try a male thong as a more comfortable alternative, or a more supportive pair of briefs.

Once you have decided what style and brand you now need to think about your short colours and which suits you best.
