Men's Underpants with Segmented Penis and Scrotum Pockets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing functional underpants for men fail to effectively separate the penis and scrotum, leading to heat generation, bacterial growth, and potential sexual health issues due to inadequate air permeability and design flaws that allow the penis to come into contact with the scrotum, especially during physical activity.
Innovation Solution
The design features a penis support member with a double structure and a scrotum support member with a single structure, connected by sewing, incorporating multiple bending sections and curved portions to create distinct penis and scrotum pockets that maintain separation and air permeability through tension and contractile force, eliminating the need for additional bands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional triangle-shaped or quadrangle-shaped underpants are worn, then the underpants provide basic coverage, but the penis descends to contact the scrotum causing heat generation and bacterial growth
Solution Approach 1:
The underpants are divided into distinct functional regions: a penis support member with a first receiving portion for the penis, and a scrotum support member with a second receiving portion for the scrotum. These segmented portions are independently positioned and supported, preventing contact between the penis and scrotum while maintaining structural integrity of the underpants.
Solution Approach 2:
A bending section is introduced as an intermediary structural element between the penis support member and scrotum support member. This bending section creates spatial separation and maintains the appropriate distance between the penis and scrotum, preventing direct contact and the associated harmful effects of heat generation and bacterial growth.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the penis and scrotum are separated to prevent contact, then air permeability and hygiene are improved, but existing designs require additional bands and complex manufacturing processes
Solution Approach 1:
The penis support member and scrotum support member are both integrated into the underpants body structure, eliminating the need for separate bands or additional components. The bending section is formed as an integral part of the underpants construction, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining the separation function.
Solution Approach 2:
The underpants body structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides coverage, maintains separation between penis and scrotum through the bending section, ensures air permeability, and eliminates the need for additional bands. This multi-functionality reduces manufacturing complexity while achieving the hygiene goals.
3Ease of operation
If the penis is supported to face the hypogastric center, then proper positioning is achieved, but the penis may lean to the left or right side or descend during strenuous exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The penis support member and scrotum support member are designed with flexible materials that can dynamically adapt to movement during physical activity. The bending section provides flexible support that maintains the penis in the proper orientation while allowing natural movement, preventing leaning to the left or right side or descending during strenuous exercise.
Solution Approach 2:
The underpants utilize composite material structures combining flexible and supportive properties in the penis support member, scrotum support member, and bending section. This composite construction provides reliable positioning during activity while maintaining comfort and adaptability to movement.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design ensures complete separation of the penis and scrotum, preventing sweat and bacterial growth, maintaining air permeability, and reducing manufacturing costs by eliminating the need for additional materials, while accommodating varying testicle sizes and physical changes.
Implementation Method 1
The inner cloth 20 is formed of a spandex material having resilience or a band 30 having enough strength to maintain a supporting state

AI summary
Functional underpants comprise a penis support member having a double structure comprising an outer cloth and an inner cloth, a scrotum support member having a single structure and being formed vertically under and connected to the penis support member, and a rear member connected to a lower end of the scrotum support member having the single structure. The outer cloth of the penis support member includes a first bending section, a second bending section having a horizontal length and formed under the first bending section, and a first curved portion formed between the first and second bending sections, which create a penis pocket along with the inner cloth of the penis support member. The scrotum support member includes the second bending section, a third bending section, and a second curved portion formed between the second and third bending sections, which form a scrotum pocket.
