Running without a jockstrap

by MarkLGentry, Sep 09, 2006 12:00AM
Is it safe for my 20 year old son to run/jog without a jockstrap? (He runs with no support.)

It is perfectly safe to run without a jockstrap for support of the testicles.  If you are worried, you can suggest that he wear shorts rather than boxers, or he can wear the underwear with the short legs. These will give him some support, but will also give him comfort that jockstraps won't.  I know a fellow who runs in bicycling shorts without other underwear.  They are tight with a crotch pad, which gives him a soft testicle support while the padding between the legs prevents chafing (he has well built thighs).  hope this helps
