Ball issues for swimmers

[Frog]

Well you are right about Funky trunks, but I can position the bulge the same way with other brands. I just have to pull up everything when the suit is on.
The only thing is to not have space at the bottom of the suit, between the legs. The suit must be against the skin between the legs...
And I must say that when I exit the water everything stays in place due to the temperature

I have thick thighs from bicycle riding, and they chafe against pouch suits. I prefer very narrow-side low-rise suits that don't cut across my stomach, so I can't point up either. Luckily I like the squeeze of flat-front suits, from AQUX, Mategear, or Arena Japan that have no pouch or bulge. I have tried dance belts, but the fabric is too thick and the sides are too wide. Slingshot Gaff thongs are my favorites. If the ocean water is cold, my balls just slide up inside me, I like having nothing hanging down between my legs, and I can wear the smallest suit on the beach.

I have only tried on funky trunks at the store, and found them uncomfortable, so didn't purchase. Maybe without the required underwear while trying them on, the instructions would have worked to make it comfortable. I agree that bags of material in the crotch area are to be avoided. I often modify swimwear that I have bought in order to remove the excess material that some brands seem to have in this area. For example I recently bought a Cockatoo brief at Aussiebum's 50% off sale, even though I could see that there was no shape to it (I couldn't go past the pattern). A bit of judicious sewing and snipping later and it fits properly. Aussiebum Ultra fits me fine without modification.

I have some Arena Women's Rule Breaker Free and Women's Rule Breaker Real suits. Most of the Amazon reviews are from men. These are flat front and wide enough for men, but tight and tiny like Arena Japan men's suits. I like the squeeze, but now I find they are more comfortable if I lift everything and point up like you suggest for the Funky Trunks. The suit is fully lined and flat so it holds everything up and out of the way of my muscular thighs, especially if I downsize to L. The patterned suit is size L, the pink one is size XL.

While I don't doubt the "stitched front pouch" of the trunks works as intended I think the reason it hasn't gained wider popularity is because of limited demand.
A proper fitting (meaning snug) brief should provide enough support for active swimming.
That has certainly been my experience over the years. I have found a brief with 5cm or less sides makes a nice v shape providing support for my package.
Most guys who want support just go and wear a brief.
While I don't doubt younger boys with there "speedo issues" would go for it that may be the extent of the market.
Their website certainly gives the impression that the intended market is boys who are involved in water sports.
Good luck to them and I hope the idea works anything that gets boys to try tighter swimwear is fine by me
