Jock straps
Jock straps enable men the support to work out and play comfortably without worrying about injury. These undergarments consist of an elastic waist band and a pouch that secures the male anatomy, restricting unwanted movement. Two more elastic bands at the base of the pouch connect it back to the waistband.
There are many different styles of jock straps, including:
• Wide waist band with or without a cup insert
• Narrow waist band
• Fashion jock
• Hockey jockAlthough jock straps are not required when playing sports like tennis, soccer or cross-country running, it’s necessary to wear a jock with a cup when playing combat sports like football, hockey and lacrosse. Also, many believe that wearing a jock for general support prevents testicular torsion.
