AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a sling that is placed inside boxer shorts to provide comfort and separation between a man's body and genital organs. This sling prevents the genital organs from touching the legs or genital area directly which can cause discomfort and sweating. The sling is made of a fine mesh material that keeps the genital organs in a comfortable and snug position. This invention also creates a cooling effect through air convection when wearing boxer shorts.

Problems solved by technology

In use, men's underwear typically suffers from several deficiencies, including but not limited to, a propensity for the scrotum to contact and even stick to the wearer's genital organ and / or inner thigh.
This high degree of contact between either the wearer's genital organ and / or the inner thighs of the wearer leads to pinching, friction, chaffing, and discomfort while sitting, walking, running or other numerous physical activities which may result in limited freedom of movement and / or a lack of moisture control.
For example, sports boxer-briefs are typically tight and form-fitting resulting in compressing the genitalia.
However, they support the scrotum too close to the body leading to any combination of scrotum contact with the wearer's genital organ, inner thighs and legs, resulting in moisture problems from perspiration and skin irritation.
Typical loose fitting boxer shorts provide ample freedom of movement but also suffer from a propensity for the scrotum to contact and stick to the wearer's genital organ and / or inner thigh while additionally lacking support and comfort.
Typical underwear briefs are designed to prevent the scrotum from contacting with the wearer's genital organ and / or inner thigh legs, but suffer from unnaturally restricting the genitalia into a small area in close proximity to the body resulting in moisture problems and lack of comfort.

Abstract

A sling housed and located within a man's underpants such that it crosses in front of a man's body under and around his scrotum thereby creating a separation designed to create comfort by preventing the scrotum from contacting the legs, thighs and genital organ is disclosed. The sling is made of a fine mesh like material that prevents the scrotum from sagging and drifting between a man's legs adding comfort during wear by placing the scrotum in a snug and comfortable position. In use, a man puts on his pair of boxers and reaches in dropping his scrotum into the sling wherein the sling tucks up between the scrotum to where the man's genital organ meets the scrotum. The scrotum is now comfortably situated in its own soft pouch wherein the genital organ is left free to dangle as it does during the normal use of men's briefs.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to men's underwear, and in particular to an underwear brief for supporting a male's scrotum thereby decreasing irritation and discomfort due to skin-to-skin pinching, friction and chaffing.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A variety of men's underwear is available in the prior art for normal wear by males. These types of underwear are generally of the “jockey” type or boxer type.

This high degree of contact between either the wearer's genital organ and / or the inner thighs of the wearer leads to pinching, friction, chaffing, and discomfort while sitting, walking, running or other numerous physical activities which may result in limited freedom of movement and / or a lack of moisture control.[0003]Various underwear designs in the prior art ...
