AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a way to adjustably attach a bolster to an elastic waistband for a person wearing the underwear. This is done with hook and loop closures, snaps, buttons, or similar methods. The purpose is to make sure the bolster is positioned correctly to support the person's genitals. The technical effect is a more comfortable and customizable fit of the underwear.

Problems solved by technology

This means the penis and testicles are not supported, but rather hang loose within the clothing.
Many men find this to be very uncomfortable.
Additionally, this can be extremely uncomfortable when it comes to playing sports to athletic events.
This leads to an increase in heat, as the testicles and penis are more confined.
Heat can lead to a variety of problems including a low sperm count, testicular cancer, erectile disfunction, and other vascular diseases.
Also, it may be uncomfortable to have one's penis and testicles held so close to the body.
This is also undesirable and can lead to constant adjusting of one's extremities when sitting, standing, or changing positions.

The briefs 12 may include a breathable mesh panel (not shown) that covers the groin area through the crotch to the rear area of the briefs. The mesh panel is preferably made from a breathable material such as polyester, cotton, a lycra-spandex cotton blend, or other similar material. Including this panel aids in the amount of airflow that can pass through the brief, thus increasing blood-flow to the genitals, and decreasing the temperature therein. A waistband 16 is included around the torso opening of the briefs 12. As shown, the bolster 14 is fitted under the penis an...
