ABSTRACT:
An athletic supporter includes a waistband with a pair of leg straps each attached at one end to the waistband and at the opposite end to an elastic mesh protective enclosure which is held in position to provide groin protection on a human body. The protective enclosure includes overlying inner and outer layers of elastic mesh material sewn together to form a closed end portion connected to the end of the straps and an open upper end portion where the inner layer is sewn to the waistband. The inner layer forms a pouch for supporting the groin region in one application of use of the athletic supporter. In another application of use the protective enclosure is adapted to receive a protective cup which is held in position to protect the groin region of the body against impact blows. An elastic strap is sewn to the open upper end portion of the protective enclosure with the ends of the elastic strap sewn to the waistband. Stretching the waistband stretches the elastic strap into abutting overlapping relation with the waistband to close the open upper end portion of the protective enclosure and thereby maintain the cup in a stabilized position on the groin region.
