Jockstrap
A jockstrap is a type of undergarment designed primarily for men, providing support and protection for the genitals during physical activities. It typically consists of a waistband and a pouch that holds the genitals in place, with two elastic straps that go around the thighs. Jockstraps are commonly used in sports like football, hockey, and baseball.
Originally created in the late 19th century for bicycle riders, jockstraps have evolved into a standard piece of athletic wear. They are often made from breathable materials to enhance comfort and reduce chafing during intense physical exertion. Many athletes wear jockstraps in conjunction with protective cups for added safety.
