Benefits of technology

"The present invention proposes a garment or undergarment that can replace swimming shorts or underpants, providing both comfort and a proper retention of the sexual organs. The device includes a belt and a retaining element that uses a yoke and two narrow side strips to cover and retain the sexual organs. The retaining element can be attached to the belt at different locations, and the strips can pass between the user's legs and along a line separating the buttocks from the thighs. The device can be used with various types of clothing, such as shorts, underpants, swimwear, and men's clothing. The invention also provides a method for retaining the sexual organs using the clothing."

Problems solved by technology

Indeed, undergarments of this type have the advantage of not compressing the sexual organs; however, it is obvious that they do not ensure their retention, which is often considered as a hindrance.
