Male undergarment with protective pouch |
(57) A male undergarment that comprises a body encircling member, including a front piece
and a rear piece; an elastic waist band attached to the encircling member; a scrotum
receiving section formed by a portion of the front piece and by an adjacent inwardly
positioned piece of fabric and a pouch, adapted to retain the scrotum therein and
defined by the scrotum receiving section and by a separate border element. The pouch
is produced in such a way that the border element is attached to the scrotum receiving
section. The border element is configured to contact the groin when the undergarment
is worn, so as to reduce friction between the scrotum and groin.
