A Brief History of the Jockstrap
Jockstraps have been around since the 1800s without any major updates to their style. The solution started off as being used by active males with active lifestyles. In fact, jockstraps served as the standard in every locker room. They protected your manhood, albeit in an odd manner which to some seemed uncomfortable. More recently jockstraps have become unpopular, especially with younger people, that tend to make the switch to compression shorts. Compression shorts simply aren't much better. They work by compressing and effectively squishing the manhood into a pouch. While this option is designed more like traditional boxer briefs (and many men wear compression shorts for underwear), it is tight on your legs and even leaves marks. It isn't uncommon for a man to choose a waistband that is too tight with compression shorts.

US patented and Intl patents pending Adjustable Pouch Underwear
UFM Underwear isn't a jockstrap or even a thong, UFM Underwear is a boxer brief and a brief. For a lot of guys, this means our product is more comfortable to wear. In addition, the key to UFM's US patented and Intl patents pending underwear is the adjustable pouch. The size of the pouch is controlled by the wearer and designed to isolate and support our manhood. For lounging, most guys tie 'slow and low'. For working out, most guys tie the 'high and tight' for maximum levels of support.
Each pair of underwear offers protection, functionality, and even improves your profile view. See for yourself when you try a pair of boxer briefs or briefs for yourself.
