ABSTRACT:
An improved male sports/athletic undergarment/cup protective system provides maximum comfort, avoiding stress on the protected body parts while holding the cup securely in its optimal location in the undergarment. A conventional rigid cup is totally covered with a conformal sheath of soft fabric material and fitted externally with a triangular pattern of three snap fastener members made and arranged to removably engage three complementary snap fastener members attached in a matching triangular pattern inside the front panel of a sports/athletic undergarment. The interior layer of the fabric sheath is retained conformal to the interior surface of the cup, and the cup is secured against any shift or creep relative to the sheath and an attached undergarment. by a plurality of sewn-through points at each of which the exterior layer is seized together with the interior layer by loops sewn through vent openings configured in the cup.
