The jockstrap as a fashion or, let's just say, leisure item is a fairly modern affair.
As a sporting garment, however, its history is relatively long and well-documented.
But which came first? The jock – as in US slang for a sportsman – or the jockstrap? And the answer is...the garment.
It's generally agreed that the jock in question was a short form of jockey. Not a jockey on a horse, but on a bike. A bike, to be more specific, being ridden across the cobbles of Boston, Massachusetts, in the late-ish 19th century.
So the jockstrap was invented to stop a cyclist's undercarriage from being hobbled by cobbles.
There's also some evidence that 'jock' is much earlier slang for a chap's...chap, but we'll leave that in the past.
All we know is that our jockstraps do the job they were designed for – providing comfort and support for sport, or any other activity.
Was looking online for organic cotton underwear saw these thought hmm so placed my order. Really happy with the fit the colors and styling. Going from boxer briefs to briefs was an adjustment but I’m getting to prefer them honestly because there’s nothing to bunch up on my thighs
Thank you very much Ronald! :)

Thank you Eugene for your review and thank you for your custom!
Great quality, great design and just like Blackpool Tower, impressive ballroom.
Thank you Russell :)
I found this brand at a store in Portland, OR and after one pair I had to get more. They are incredibly comfortable and breathable with plenty of room. Will be buying more! For sizing, I normally wear a US Medium in briefs and went with the Large here and they are a perfect fit.
