E) All of the above

Or is it something else? Do any of you wear a swimjock under your speedo?

My answer is "none of the above". I can't imagine wearing a swim jock now, but when I started swimming as a teen, I wore one to keep everything under control in my Speedo.

Rather than add my experience to this thread, I've posted it in the stories area.

The swim jocks made sense to wear under a nylon brief when there were lots of looser fitting nylon suits out there with 3-inch sides. The jock held everything in place so stuff wouldnt move around.

But a tight-fitting lycra suit with a front panel support obviates the need for a swimming jock, since these suits automatically confine the goods making another layer of support from the jock unnecessary.

The swimmers jock might still make sense for guys wearing boardshorts that typically have a full nylon or mesh brief sewn inside as a liner. In this case the swimmers jock would be the first layer. But it would be commin to use a Lycra brief instead of a swimmers jock.

The "downfall" of the classic jock was cause buy two things in my view-the use of compression shorts in basket ball and other sports and the invention of Jogbra by two near neighbors of mine who cut up 2 jocks to make the pro-type of what is now a jogbra now under the Champian label!

All rather confusing.
How does the cut up of two male jocks
produce a woman's bra and is Champian
Champion ?


A pic might help - Google doesn't seem
to know anything about this product.

The Jogbra is now made by Champian (sorry for sp.) You take each basket-less straps- take each end that is under your ass and sew together-reposition straps sewn around back and over shoulder. They used my jocks!

Now called Champian Sports Bra. Jogbra was located in Essex,Vermont with over 200 employees-was so successful that the girls decided to cash out. That's the story too often about great products that are invented in the great State of Vermont!

Does anyone have opinions on jockstraps where the waistband does not roll? (i.e. the band starts to fold so it does not lie flat on the waist)

This item claims to avoid that and get good reviews. One person says it was worn to the pool (I presume under loose shorts)

I used to wear a swim jock many years ago, like 35 years ago, when I occasionally wore swim shorts that look like today's board shorts. The jock was much more narrow than a regular jock with a very narrow waistband. The shorts were unlined and needed a swim jock just like today's boarders need a speedo underneath them. But then again, today, why wear a speedo underneath board shorts, just wear the speedo!

I don't think they are marketed any more. They were of course minimal in all parts in order not to show beyond the outline of your swimming trunks and so what benefit they were for support and/or modesty I never quite understood.

there seems to be two swim jocks on the market right now. The original that was worn under swimwear for support ant protection. The material was lighter weight than the regular sport jocks.
They are also selling them in colors and patterns to be worn as swimsuits. They are often regular swimsuit fabric and not the conventional support knit. They work fine and look great but because of the exposed anus when you bend over can't be worn in many situations.
