Athletic Supporter

An athletic supporter, also known as a jockstrap, is a type of underwear specifically designed for men involved in sports or physical activities. It is classified under the supply class "Underwear And Nightwear, Men's" in the supply group "Clothing, Individual Equipment, Insignia, And Jewelry."

Athletic supporters typically consist of an elastic waistband and a pouch that holds and supports the male genitalia. The purpose of an athletic supporter is to provide protection, support, and comfort during physical activities that involve a lot of movement or impact, such as running, cycling, or contact sports.

The elastic waistband of an athletic supporter helps keep it securely in place, while the pouch provides a snug fit and prevents excessive movement of the genitals. Some athletic supporters also come with a protective cup that can be inserted into the pouch for added protection against impact or injury.

Athletic supporters are commonly worn by athletes, especially those involved in high-impact sports like football, hockey, or martial arts. They help reduce the risk of injuries, such as testicular torsion or impact-related trauma.

In addition to sports, athletic supporters can also be used for medical purposes, such as providing support and compression for individuals with groin or hernia issues.

Overall, athletic supporters are an essential piece of equipment for men participating in sports or engaging in physical activities that require extra support and protection for the genital area.
