Jockstraps are becoming an ever more mainstream item of male underwear, and there are several jockstrap benefits. We have some of the best men’s jockstraps at the VOCLA underwear store, from sporty underwear jockstraps to gay jockstraps. Additionally, they have transcended from being a practical product for bicycle riders to having medical uses, benefiting sports and now men's fashion underwear

Did you know? – the jockstrap was originally designed to be worn by bicycle couriers (who were known as ‘jocks’). The design allowed them to move their legs more easily on the bicycle. The jockstrap was designed by the BIKE corporation. They still make their famous BIKE jockstrap today.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A JOCKSTRAP?

There are many benefits of a jockstrap:

• Ventilating and cooling properties – the lack of back material allows air to circulate much more than standard underwear. This is particularly useful in sports and warmer climates.
• Easier leg movement – the lack of side material allows the legs to move more easily, perfect for sports.
  
• Front support – the front pouch keeps the essentials lifted. The jockstrap is sometimes known as an athletic supporter for this very reason. The support can be useful after medical surgery on the genital area and for holding everything in place during sports.

WHAT ARE THE BEST JOCKSTRAPS?

The best men’s jockstraps are available in several styles and designs from various brands. Over recent years, hybrid versions of the jockstrap have appeared, such as the jock brief, basically a bottomless brief, and the jock boxer, a bottomless boxer. These provide side material, so there is more coverage.
