Male sport and multipurpose active wear undergarment

Abstract

A male personal comfort sport and multipurpose underwear / undergarment that includes, as an integral part thereof, a specially configured penis and genital pouch secured to the interior of the undergarment that includes a frontal elastic opening for receiving and comfortably securing a male penis, and coincident slit-like opening on the opposite side of the pouch to allow the penis to be easily and comfortably removed through the front panel of the undergarment. The undergarment significantly reduces the possibility of crushing or otherwise injuring the penis and / or genitalia during any sudden movement of the wearer, such as vigorous exercise occurring during sports activities. The pouch also serves to isolate the genitalia from the thigh area, so that in humid conditions or conditions in which the wearer is perspiring due to physical activity, the penis and genitalia skin do not touch the wearer's thigh region. Alternatively, the inside portions of the pouch can be lined with a water-impermeable material if the undergarment is intended for use by male individuals who may be incontinent or otherwise incapable of controlling the bodily discharge of urine, particularly during aggressive physical activities.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to active wear garments for males, and more particularly to undergarments tailored and fitted to support and protect the male genitalia during, for example, vigorous physical activities such as sporting events. In the past, undergarments for accommodating male genitalia have been designed to satisfy various objectives such as improved sanitation, comfort and support. Generally, such undergarments are designed to isolate the entire genitalia from the body of the user by incorporating a separate fabric layer that prevents the genitalia from touching the legs. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,621,846; 4,345,337; 4,414,971; 4,660,551; 5,029,345; 5,070,869; and 5,283,912.[0002]A popular and well-known style of men's underwear consists of a snug fitting garment that normally comprises woven cotton woven forming stretchable, band-like sections for circling and resiliently engaging waist and upper leg portions of a wearer's lo...

Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention provides a new male personal comfort sport and multipurpose underwear / undergarment that includes, as an integral part thereof, a specially configured penis and genital pouch secured to the interior of the undergarment. The integral pouch includes a frontal elastic opening for receiving and comfortably securing a male penis when the undergarment is worn, as well as a coincident slit-like opening on the opposite side of the pouch to allow the penis to be easily and comfortably removed through the front of the undergarment. The underwear / undergarment according to the invention also provides a structure that allows the male scrotum to remain outside the integral pouch for increased comfort and to allow the genitals to remain at a lower temperature when the undergarment is being worn, particularly during vigorous physical activity.

[0007]The personal comfort sport and multipurpose underwear / undergarment according to the present invention significantly reduces the possibility of crushing or otherwise injuring the penis and / or genitalia during any sudden movement of the wearer. The integral pouch also serves to isolate the genitalia from the thigh area during normal use. Thus, in humid conditions or conditions in which the wearer is perspiring due to physical activity, the penis and scrotum do not touch the wearer's thigh region which often causes discomfort with known prior art undergarments, including conventional products designed to protect against impact to the genitalia. The present invention also protects and secures the penis and scrotum in a more comfortable manner than prior art undergarment designs when the user is sitting or engaging in bending movements of the middle torso. An alternative embodiment of the invention has additional benefits for males who may be incontinent or who suffer from other medical ailments.
