The athletic supporter includes a waist band which fits around the waist of a user of the device and which helps to hold the pocket adjacent the penis of the user. The disposable insert which is placed in the pocket of the athletic supporter is substantially cylindrical and sized to be received in the pocket of the athletic supporter includes a layer of absorbent material, a waterproof material on the exterior of the layer of absorbent material, and a cavity sized to receive a human penis. The layer of absorbent material preferably includes a first portion which surrounds the cavity and a second portion which extends between the cavity and the second, closed end of the insert, the second portion having a length of between one half and three quarters of the distance between the first, open end of the insert and the second, closed end of the insert.
