How do you put on a jockstrap?

[Edit]

Putting on a Suspensory (a.k.a Jockstrap)

The most common way to wear a jockstrap is to put it on immediately over the skin, as the bottom layer. The leg straps can be seen through white baseball or football pants; if this is embarrassing, one can wear the jock over a pair of compression shorts. The pouch goes in front and the legs go through the leg straps. Pull it up and adjust to comfort. Some men like their penis to point directly up, others like it pointing either to the left or the right, while still others bend it forward so it points down. Because there are two styles of cups -- the banana-shaped cup and the tradtional triangular-shaped cup -- the most comfortable placement of the penis inside the cup is not the same for both styles of the cup. With the banana cup, the most comfortable placement for most men probably is pointing down. With the traditional triangular shaped cup, however, the most comfortable placement may be either pointing up or down. The traditional triangular shaped cup is wider at the top and many men may prefer to lift up their penis and place it under (and across) the top wider part of the cup. It can cause problems in an erect or partially erect state while pointing to the side can cause hanging out the edge. A lot of times the penis ends up moving and pointing to one side or the other which if this happens you just need to readjust a little to keep pointing the way you want. With cup style jockstraps, some prefer to place the cup in before stepping into a jockstrap, while others prefer to place the cup in after.

Men should be aware of the fact that a protector-cup, to function properly, must fight snugly. A blow or impact to a loose-fitting protector-cup will only slam the cup into the man's testicles, causing pain and possible injury. Many men and sports coaches never think about this. Many cup-supporters, briefs, or sliding shorts do not hold the cup in place snugly. In these instances, a man should wear a pair of tight-fitting nylon/spandex athletic shorts over his cup-protector/jockstrap, so that the cup is held tightly against his body.

A jockstrap can also be worn under pants. They are very useful to wear instead of regular underwear during hiking, biking, camping, or other outdoor activities as they absorb less moisture than a pair of cotton briefs and can provide much needed cooling. Jockstraps can also prevent scrotal chafing and impact because the scrotum is lifted away from the thighs, very useful while hiking long distances. Since most jocks are a cotton, polyester and/or spandex blend, they can easily be washed and hung to dry quickly each night.

Answer

First, remove any pants, shorts, or underwear that you may be wearing. The jockstrap is made of a waist band, a pouch, and two leg bands. Hold the jock so that the pouch and leg straps are hanging down and the pouch is facing forward. There will be two openings each formed by one side of the pouch, a leg band and a short section of the waistband. Put the jock on by putting the right foot through the waistband and then the right opening with so that the pouch is on the inside of the leg and the leg strap is on back of the leg. Do the same with the other foot through the other opening and pull the jock up so it fits snugly. If you have done it correctly, your butt will be bare and the pouch will fit snugly providing excellent support.
