The jock or jockstrap is an undergarment reserved exclusively to men since there is so far no female equivalent. It was invented in the United States by Charles Bennett in 1874, founder of the Bike brand that still produces clothing and small equipment for sports. The jockstrap consists of a front pocket for a good maintenance of the genitals, a wide elastic waistband and two lateral elastic leaving bare buttocks. Some models are equipped with a front pocket specially designed to accommodate a (soft or hard) shell that protects shocks during the practice of contact sports (football, hockey-on-ice, rugby, boxing, martial arts,...). The models without rigid protection are rather designed for athletes practicing Athletics as the jockstrap still offers the best compromise for peacekeeping, the heat, the reduction in friction areas while promoting a great freedom of movement.
