Adult Athletic/Sports Brief

Truth be told, we were actually looking forward to trying out the Safe-T-Gard Brand Adult Athletic/Sports Brief, which is currently being advertised as sort of a cross between a men's brief, with a full seat in the back, and a conventional jock strap up front. The back panel was 55% cotton / 45% poly, and the knit pouch and 2-5/8” deep waistband was 85% poly / 15% rubber. We thought perhaps that this would be the perfect union between a jock and a brief. Unfortunately, this was not so.Sold under the various names of “supporter brief” and “sport brief”, the Safe-T-Gard Brand we were already quite familiar with, having worn them for years both under their own brand name, as well as being sold under various proprietary names. What is known as their style number 366, with a side seam of six inches, we thought they would be perfect for our particular application, which is hauling heavy musical instruments around Tampa Bay. We were extremely disappointed.True, the waistband and knit pouch were exactly the same as in their conventional jock straps, only the rise was much shallower (smaller), barely covering the privates, lower than even the lowest of the so-called, sexy bikinis. If that weren't bad enough, the full seat had entirely too much cotton in the fabric content, which we knew from previous experience, wouldn't last very long. True, they were made in the USA, the price was $13.29 each, and from what we could gather, they were a very popular item in the Medium and Large sizes. Nevertheless, the exceedingly low rise was a deal-breaker. Nobody's faulting the idea, though.

Go ahead, play ball! I hate jock straps, and never understood their purpose.,a cup? Stuff it in briefs. I always preferred a snug fitting brief as I don't like my "guy" flopping free down there.If you a brief wearing gent, this is for you, can be sexy, and has purpose. Comfort zone is as good as any designer brief. With that jock pouch front allowing circulation of air for breathing room as well as needed support. Soft on your tushy for that rowing machine, or other "sit" exercises. I was concerned I wouldn't like the broad waist band, but that was fine.And once my work-out wear was fine, I didn't know I had anything on at all.It is soft right out of package though I believe clothing mfr, and consumer advocates recommending washing in warm soapy water prior to first wear, guess to remove any factory contaminants and or fabric "dust" of new material.Asst colors for style, if concerned about tell-tale sweat stains appearing in normal white ones- but hey, you can always sell your used ones as way of affording new. maybe someone even willing to trade new for old. Recycle-reuse, cut down on refuge.I didcsplirgecand buy one of each color. Don't get short of undergearvin your gym bag. Have a spare- perhaps to give a hand to someone who may have left that item out. Chances are, you bigger guys all wear the same size.Work hard, play hard-er.

Excellent styling for guys who like to wear "Support type underwear"Similar styling to a jock strap except these have a full seat in them but other then that they give you the same full support that a normal jock strap does!!My main problem with this underwear is nothing actually to do with the product itself but the sheer & absolute lack of availability in trying to purchase this type of men's underwear!! You can't seem to buy them anywhere & in smaller sizes & I've even had to buy a larger size then I would normally prefer just to be able to acquire a pair of these!!! Colour choice is all but non existent as well let alone & as previously stated the size range!! (yeah right)

Not my favorite I have to be honest. fabric is not very nice to the touch out of the box, maybe after a couple of washings. The idea is great but the execution leaves something to be desired. Definitely notify first choice to wear with regular clothing just felt funny with jeans. I really like the idea of the wide waistband so that is a plus but with the itchy materials used for the rest of the underwear it just doesn't feel great. I ordered another brands active underwear, also with a non-traditional underwear design and it was much more comfortable all around. For the price I expected something that I couldn't live without instead of something I wouldn't be caught dead in...

I should have read the other reviews before ordering these. They fit fine the first time wearing them, but after about a hour, the pouch had stretched out so much that they no longer offered any support whatsoever. I followed the washing directions on the label, but the fabric quality of the pouch is awful and these briefs are no longer usable after only one wearing. Quality used to be so much better before they switched over to the grey waistband design. I do like the design of briefs overall, but the lack of quality is very disappointing, especially since nobody else seems to make this style of brief supporter any longer.

This product used to be a quality item. Apparently, when they switched to the gray waistband, they also changed the material of the mesh pouch. After just 2 washings (done according to mfg. directions), the mesh stretched out to a size that would fit a bull elephant! I had to take it apart and remake it by cutting 3 inches off of the length of the stretched out pouch. I wouldn't but any more of these until they change back to the original design. It's not worth your money or your time and effort.

At first I thought these underwear were awesome...and the I started exercising and the pouch stretched and I was no longer supported. It’s weirde because I thought it was going to be just like their jockstraps. But I recommend the jockstrap over this.

This product does not provide much more support than a pair of regular underwear.
