Love that Defender jockstrap. My father had one in the 60's.He always wore his wide band under a black speedo.I was 14 when i got my 1st "athletic supporter" as my mom referred to it when she gave it to me. It looked and felt more like sexy male lingerie than anything athletic. During a time when i was coming of age sexually, and feeling awkward about my sexual feelings. I've been enamored with wearing one ever since.
Don't know the brand. The tag had been long gone, if there ever was one.. I have a pic around somewhere of it, but the Defender swimmer is a very close match to it
I hardly ever saw my dad in boxers, let alone strapping.Love that Defender jockstrap. My father had one in the 60's.He always wore his wide band under a black speedo.
Taught us boys to strap up. Still strapping at age 62.
Dad made us hand wash the jocks after going to the beach . We hung our wet jocks outside on the clothes line.I hardly ever saw my dad in boxers, let alone strapping.

Yes the good old days when we did learn to wear jocks and being used to showering after gym class. The boys in 90's didn't have to change for gym or showers were either optional or not in use at all. My dad taught me very early that showering with your class was important and the reason we wore a jockstap. With no questions it was just done.First jock was a cupjock, no recollection of brand, age 8 or 9 for hockey. One autumn evening my hockey playing father called me into his den having bought the full equipment for youth hockey, told me to strip to my tighty-whitey briefs, and showed how to put on the equipment, starting with pulling on the cupjock over my underwear.
Second was a standard Bike jock required for 7th grade PE, age 11. Bought with my Mom at the local department store along with the school-branded gym shorts and t-shirt. Gym teacher told us how to dress (jock on bare skin not over underwear), though the basketball players from 6th grade already knew and just, er, swung into action. The rest of us followed, including showering afterwards which was required. We had already been swimming for a year or two at the Y where showering nude before and after was enforced, so showering after 7th grade gym was not a big deal, even for those who were, uh, not yet very big and/or hairy.
Too bad those days of mandatory jocks and jock checks and showering the boys don't even know about. Ive been lucky even just to meet a few young adults teaching them about jocks and why you wesr them. I turn the teaching trickled down to thier younger cousins who love the jo c ks and thier support and taught a circle of buddies.had to have them in 6 grade 12 years old
Gym teacher would have Jock checks at line up
I had a few friends in south London talking about the Litesome jocks they ran a boys gym for gymnastics so the boys all aged from 7-18 had to wear a jockstrap it was mandatory. The younger boys who were too small even for youth size got the smallest to fit them by the head gym teacher.Got my first jock at 15. Was a 'Litesome Athletic Supporter' - was the most common jock in the UK at the time, made in England - basically our version of the Bike jockstrap. Loved it. Soft cotton pouch, 2" waistband. I slept in it every night for years. Probably had it for around 20 years but eventually the elastic went and it just wore out.
I fell in love with wearing a jock before even jr high . My dad was avid jockstrap wearer during each summer under his adult speedo. So just before je high and 7th grade got my first handme down jock that summer. I felt like a big boy wearing a jockstrap under my boys swim suit.I fell in love with them in high school when I saw the jocks in the locker room wearing them.
