Abstract

A male brief, specifically underwear, swimwear, sunwear, supporter, medical brief, or enhancement device is designed to be worn instead of men'"'"'s usual underwear and swimwear. The brief'"'"'s form follows the anatomical design of the penis and the scrotum, which are two naturally separated, yet integrated entities. Its one-piece, genital specific, dual-pouch construction has an entrance opening with a closure that encircles the base of the genitals. To achieve superior support and comfort the brief is designed to accurately conform to the changing shapes, movements and precise positions that the genitals make of their own accord to maintain comfort and health. This allows the genitals to dictate their own comfort, and at the same time be held by the brief in a protective and supportive way. Because the brief is configured to reflect the exact contours of the genitals, it possesses unadulterated lines that house the genitals with a never-before-achieved attractiveness by allowing their natural carriage and authentic masculine style to be expressed in a way that reflects their own image. A fly system (66) built into pouch (16) allows for the release of the penis for urinating without having to remove the brief. Modifying the crotch portion of conventional underwear and swimwear with the brief provides a customary alternative for the consumer to become familiar with the brief'"'"'s breakthrough comfort, and support technology. A non-stretch embodiment gives the consumer an even broader range of fabrics, and styles from which to choose.
