Manymen and women will agree: Jockstraps aresexy.

So,whether you’re flexing low-key in the mirror or putting it all out there forsomeone to see, a jockstrap is sure to provide the sexy confidence boost youdeserve.
5. ImprovedExercise Performance
Hereat Wood, we encourage more men to rock jocks (and thongs) on the daily. They are an underrated and far superior undergarment for working at theoffice, doing house chores, thumbing away on our phones, and yes, getting downwith foreplay.
Still,we're traditionalists when we also say: You should also wear a jockstrap forsports and exercise!
It'sobvious why hockey and football players should go with the protective cupvariety (and if it's not so obvious, two words: Nut Shots.) But when it comesto non-cup jockstraps, they can go a long way for runners, bikers,weight-lifters, and other athletes in low-impact sports. Here’s why:
Jocksare specially designed to keep the boys in place and minimize shifting whenyou're running, jumping, stretching, and bending. They maximize leg movement,and their lift and flexibility also reduce groin strains and keep genitalslip-outs from turning into painful injuries. If you frequently experienceaches in the groin area when you exercise, a plush, form-fitting jockstrap canalso provide the relief you need.
Notto mention, the wicking powers of our Lenzing Modal cotton blend evaporate moresweat, reduce chafing, and keep fitness stink to a minimum. That way, you canwork out comfortably and perform longer.
Welike the sounds of that!
