Swim Jock question

[tawniessam]

I think that swimmer jockstraps were and still are intended for wear underneath swimming shorts that do not have a liner or that have a liner that is not adequately supportive.

You don't want the wide waistband of a regular jockstrap sticking up above your shorts when shirtless and you don't want all of the water-trapping fabric of cotton briefs.

The swim jock is the only kind of jockstrap I see sold in some stores anymore.
