Means for Underwear

Abstract

Underwear, such as boxer shorts or long underwear, intended to be used by men. The underwear being provided at its upper end with a first elastic band or panel forming an integral part of the underwear and extending around the entire circumference of the waistband of the underwear. The underwear is provided with a second elastic band, string or panel. The second elastic band, string or panel is in the form of a continuous band extending along at least a part of the circumference of an underwear beneath the intended position of a scrotum in a front of the underwear, skewed upwards along the intended position of the groin of a male towards the upper end of the intended position of the buttocks of the male, extending along the intended position of a male hip bone, in spaced relation with the first elastic band or panel

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to underwear meant to be used by men, such as for example boxer shorts, long underwear or pajamas, that is fitted at its upper part with a first elastic waist band or elastic panel that extends around the whole part of the hip lining, preferably forming an integral part of said underwear and further provided with a second elastic band or panel.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Scrotum is a protuberance of skin and muscles containing and protecting the testicles and is located between penis and anus. In specific situations, such as during physical exercise, sexual activities or when scrotum is exposed to cold temperatures, the muscle fibers in scrotum contract, contracting the surface of the skin so that the surface of the skin wrinkles and becomes thicker. Thus the testicles will be moved closer to the body. On the other hand when scrotum is exposed to heat, or is in a state of r...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015]One object of the invention is to provide a solution preventing unnecessary or undesired heat production, developed in the crutch and thus at least partly problems caused by BPH.

[0016]Another object of the invention is to provide a simple solution which is not uncomfortable to wear and which is not only functioning when the wearer is in certain body positions.

[0017]Yet another object of the invention is to provide a solution that prohibits formation of chronically moisture in the form of sweat, which may cause fungus, and eczema in the area of men's crutch.

[0019]Another object of the invention is to provide a solution that is loose and comfortable to use and at the same time distributing the lifting powers in a comfortable way.

[0022]According to the present invention an elastic separation device for scrotum is provided, avoiding or at least substantially reducing direct contact between scrotum and the skin of the thighs, whereby unwanted development of heat may be avoided. The separation device may be in form of integrated, preferably independent elastic bands or elastic panels that may be sown or woven into the underwear so that said separation means may form an integrated, permanent or a exchangeable part of the underwear. When scrotum in a comfortable way is separated from bodily contact with the thighs, as well as avoiding direct press or strain on the scrotum or testicles, scrotum obtains a more normal condition at a lower temperature, so that scrotum more frequently may be preserved in its original firm shape with contracted muscle fibers and wrinkled skin may be cause a lasting original condition.

[0027]Tests performed with the present solution show that the temperature on the surface of the scrotum becomes lower and may be maintained at a more uniform level.

Problems solved by technology

For many men whose skin of the scrotum has been stretched, this may cause more or less chronic condition of higher temperature in the scrotum.

This partly chronically excessive heat may develop fungus in the skin around the crutch and cause allergic reactions.

Resent research has proved that when the reproduction organs for men are exposed for excessive heat, the quality of the seamen will decrease and thus the ability to reproduction.

It is assumed that the process with a higher than normal temperature in scrotum and in the areas around it for older men, followed by the body's attempt to cool down by secreting sweat, causes a stress situation to the prostate gland with the following of problematic symptoms of BPH—frequently urinating, thin and low pressure urine jet as well as the fact that the urine bladder is not completely emptied, and that this causes an unwanted need for frequent urination, at least during the night.

Furthermore there is a tendency with modern boxer shorts to manufacture them in an elastic fabric, which contributes to pushing penis and scrotum in towards the body, whereby the detrimental effects mentioned above will be increased.
