The age-old underwear toss-up between boxers, briefs and boxer briefs overlooks an alternative that’s well worth your consideration. The men’s jockstrap — with its front pouch that accentuates your assets and elastic straps that’ll perk up your derrière to peachier heights — has been around since the late 19th century. Originally going by the name “bicycle jockey”, designed for cyclists for additional support up front when pedalling over cobblestoned streets, they went on to become the go-to for impact sports such as American football and rugby and have also been adopted for their sex appeal. Still on the fence about whether to incorporate a jockstrap into your undies rotation? Let us enlighten you...

Imagine a world where wedgies don’t exist. With a jockstrap, you don’t have to. Get the fit just right and a jockstrap is a far more comfortable option for day-long wear than any tight- or looser-fitting underwear, amplified further by the fabric of your bottoms. Avoid sandpaper-like rigid denim and opt instead for the softness of your favourite joggers. And just as you might favour a boxer brief over a roomier boxer short, a jockstrap goes the extra mile to keep your bits where they belong, making for fewer adjustments.
Because the pouch of a jockstrap is as close to an athletic cup as you’ll get from underwear alone, they are often worn by cyclists looking for protection over bumpy roads, where bouncing up and down on the saddle isn’t just uncomfortable but can also cause problems such as cysts and infections. In contact sports, not only do they provide the same boon of keeping everything neatly in place, but they also provide a more convenient layer to position a protective cup over, for an extra level of protection.
Sun’s out, bum’s out. This one’s all about personal preference, but those prone to below-the-belt sweating in stuffier summer months could well find jockstraps to be the most hygienic solution. A halfway house between conventional underwear and going commando, those made from sweat-wicking materials from sports brands will work doubly hard to keep things dry in a heatwave. Just make sure you’re wearing your shorts or chinos around your waist, as they were intended.
And we’re not just talking about a tighter pouch for your package. Jockstraps can turn pancakes into peaches, doing to men’s behinds what Spanx can do to women’s. Generally constructed from a thicker waistband with two straps that frame the bum-cheeks, the sturdier materials do their bit to lift your backside up, creating a more pronounced divide from bum to thigh. It won’t just make it look bigger once you’ve taken off your clothes, but can also contribute to a more rounded silhouette in shorts and trousers.

Especially so among gay men, jockstraps are used to up the sex factor of your underwear, with an exposed bum opening many a new foreplay window. Outside of the bedroom, and much like sets from the best lingerie brands, knowing you’re wearing something overtly sexy underneath your nine-to-five attire can do wonders for your confidence – and there’s nothing more stylish than confidence.

As a man who is into stylish undergarments, you’ve probably noticed that jockstraps have been trending recently. Originating as protective pieces for bicycle jockeys in the 19th century, jockstraps have a long history in the gay underwear and fetish scene.
It has only been in the last few years; however, that jockstrap creators have turned to exciting designs and materials to boost the sexiness of this once all-white sports jockstrap.
Whether you are new to the gay men’s underwear scene or you haven’t had the opportunity to purchase a jockstrap of your own, buying your first jockstrap is exciting and overwhelming. Use this helpful guide to buying your first jockstrap to find the perfect garment for you.
Where to Find Jockstraps
To buy your first jockstrap, you have to know where to look. Major supercenters or sporting stores typically carry jockstraps in the athletics section, but these options are more sporty than flirty.
If you are into plain functional white jockstraps with protective cups for sports, you might consider sporting stores. However, if you are looking to buy a jockstrap to spice up your bedroom or give you a confidence boost when out on the town, Timoteo has the perfect selection on offer.
You can browse the wide selection of fashionable and fun men’s jockstraps online, choose whichever style you like, and have it delivered to your front door.
Online jockstrap shopping is not only fast and convenient, but it also provides you with anonymity. If you like to indulge privately, buying a jockstrap online is the right choice.
How to Find the Right Jockstrap
To find the right jockstrap for you, consider the following elements as you browse your options.
Style and design
The style and design of your first jockstrap matter. It is important to find a piece that looks great on your front and back and highlights the size of your package. It is equally important that your jockstrap fits into your personal style.
When browsing an online jockstrap collection, take note of any colors or patterns that catch your eye. If you prefer a jockstrap sport theme, opt for a sporty mesh jockstrap or a football-inspired jockstrap. A floral-patterned jockstrap offers a softer look, perfect for a non-conventional version. If you are looking for a jockstrap for fetish play, opt for a zipper-pouch jockstrap in a bold pattern.
Size
When buying your first jockstrap, make sure to find the right waist sizing. The last thing you want is a loose, droopy jockstrap, or one that is uncomfortably tight. To ensure you buy in the right size range, use a tape measure on your waist to gain an accurate measurement.
To measure your waist, place a tape measure at the top of your hip bone and bring it around your body, across your belly button, or just underneath. Note where the end of the tape measure sits and write down the number of inches. This is your waist circumference and the number you should look for on sizing charts.
The sizing chart for Timoteo’s underwear and clothing selection set the following guidelines:
