Jocks, or as they are also called jocks, jockstraps, appeared more than 200 years ago. Their homeland is the USA, where in order to make it more comfortable for athletes to perform certain physical activities, this model was developed.
What are Joki panties?
This model of men's underwear consists of briefs, which at the front are most similar to either a tanga or a thong. But they have a certain difference - at the back, in the buttock area, they are open.
The design is an elastic belt, the width of which is wider than that of other models. In front of the belt there is a triangle with a central seam and a recess that supports the genital organ. And in the crotch area, two elastic strips extend from the triangle, which fit the buttocks at the edges, with the other end attached to the belt tape on the sides. Thus, from the back, the design looks as if the fabric covering the buttocks was cut out, and only the edge elastic remained.
In modern models designed for certain sports, protection for the male genital organ is inserted into the design, in its front part.
What are they for?
Initially, this model was developed for sports use. It was ideally suited for these purposes, as it provided complete freedom of movement.
First of all, cyclists appreciated the functionality and comfort. The absence of tissue in the gluteal area contributed to easier and more comfortable movement in the hip joint.
After this, men's joxes also became popular among athletes involved in martial arts.
And from there they migrated first into the form of ammunition for amateur athletes, and gradually filled the shelves with individual underwear of ordinary representatives of the male population.
They are quite widespread among men in North and South America. Later they migrated to Europe. But in countries with stronger traditions, they are still considered something from the category of intimate ammunition of sexual minorities.
Although, nevertheless, their use has a number of advantages, such as:
- Providing greater range of motion;
- No stiffness;
- Freer access of oxygen to certain areas of the body;
- No overheating effect.
By the way, due to the effect that jockeys have on body temperature, preventing overheating in the intimate area, they can be recommended to be worn in hot weather. This will help maintain men's health.
