    The JC Athletic 3 Inch Jockstrap stepped up to the platform when it was announced that BIKE was discontinuing production.

     

    Jockstrap lovers around the globe were in a “crazy” panic when the announcement came out; BIKE would stop making the classic BIKE jockstrap. The descendant of the original jockstrap designed in 1874 by C.F. Bennet, a bicycle courier in Boston.

     

    The name itself pays homage to Mr Bennet’s profession and the very “spark” that created the jockstrap. How could the company that is responsible for giving us the jockstrap since 1874, be closing up shop?

     

    Fortunately, out of all that “crazy” panic emerged, a really solid jockstrap. Brought to us by a serious jockstrap enthusiast.

     

    Which, makes the story all quite a bit more romantic when you think about the fact that the jockstrap was an invention born of necessity and now the JC Athletic Jockstraps are a product of that necessity but now fuelled by passion.

    The Waistband

     

    Keeping in mind that the jockstrap is an invention of necessity; one could understand why such a wide waistband; which to some is what makes it or breaks it for some jockstrap enthusiasts.

     

    The original jockstrap was designed to provide some comfort from the vigorous jostling one got while cycling down Boston’s cobblestone streets. Not just a healthy romp through the “maze” at the bathhouse or night club. (wink wink)

     

    The technology behind what the jockstrap is intended to do, has been fine-tuned some. We have surely seen vintage photographs of some poor guy in a jockstrap that looks more like an elastic and loincloth wrapped around his area.

     

    The need and intention hasn’t changed. Rather, we have re-addressed solving the problem of “jostled junk” using modern techniques and textiles.

     

    The passage of time as allowed improvements in; technology and the fabrication of both polyester and rubber, design and construction principles and practices. All of which do lend to the superior comfortable fit I get today, from the JC Athletic Jockstrap.

     

    The waistband is extra comfortable against the skin while feeling supportive rather than restrictive. I have a bit of a belly and the wide waistband is not uncomfortable for me to wear at all.

    [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8085″ img_size=”540×540″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

    Attention to detail: JC Athletic ensures comfort with a super soft waistband. The biggest bonus being, all their tags are on the OUTSIDE of the band.
    No rough little scratchy tags to bug your butt crack and lower back!

    This is what it is all about really. I mean business in the front and party in the back. Am I right?

     

    Getting back to be serious; the pouch is what a jockstrap is all about. The reason why Bennett created the jockstrap is because he was tired of his junk jostling around all over Boston as he was cycling from customer to customer, over cobblestone streets, delivering packages.

     

    That’s right C. F. Bennet, inventor of the jockstrap; was a BIKE courier. It is all beginning to make sense now, isn’t it?

     

    The JC Athletic 3 Inch Classic Jockstrap pouch is strong. Strong on support and strong on comfort.

     

    When you slide your junk into this pouch and then remind yourself that the entire jockstrap is made of polyester and rubber you are going to be surprised.

     

    Traditionally 2 fabrics not known for “air flow” and never once has my junk felt like it was poaching in a sauna.

     

    Today’s technology has allowed us to say goodbye to the polyester of our past. Which, nobody is really mad at. Frankly, there is some polyester that belongs in the past.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8084″ img_size=”540×540″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

    Attention to detail: JC Athletic offers amazing air flow and moisture wicking.
    Never once have a felt like I have swamp crotch!
    Hang up to dry quick!

    Consistency

     

    That is what I have come to expect from my JC Athletic Classic 3 Inch Jockstrap. This past February it will be 3 years since JC Athletic launched and I got my hands on the 3 Inch Waistband jockstrap and from the beginning I have truly loved it.

    What is best is that it is just as comfortable as it was the first day. Sure it was a bit stiff when I went to try it on as soon as I got it. I was eager to get into it; almost like I was experiencing a moment in jockstrap history; I needed to satisfy my eager curiosity.

     

    After a wash with my other gear and hung to dry and each time I put it on; I felt the same satisfaction I have when pulling on my favourite t-shirt or hoodie.

     

    A jockstrap is a rugged garment and easy to take care of; the thing can handle a lot of abuse, it was built for it.

     

    Wash it and hang it to dry. It will be dry in no time.

     

    This ensures that the fibres (polyester and rubber) don’t break down due to the heat of the dryer — and your jockstrap will be your best buddy.

     

    I look forward to hearing about your experience with JC Athletic Jockstraps — photos too!

    When I have shared my “jockstrap coming out” story, I mention that a swimmer jockstrap was my first every jockstrap. Ever since then I have had an extra soft spot for a sleek, clever and simple jockstrap with the slim waistband.

     

    What is a Swimmer Jockstrap?

     

    Simple answer; it is a jockstrap to be worn under a “bathing” or “swimming” costume.

     

    A many number of years back, when swimming or “public bathing” became a ‘thing’; there was no support in bathing costumes for a gentlemen. With a small adaptation that streamlined the wide waistband jockstrap that the bike courier C. F. Bennett invented in 1874, and we end up with what we have today as the swimmer jockstrap.

     

    With advancements achieved in textiles, such as the invention of the man-made fibres; Spandex, Nylon, Polyester and Elastane we have come leaps and bounds with design in swimming costumes or swim suits, leaving the swimmers jockstrap open to find itself being worn for other sport as well as just as a preference for style.

    The JC Athletic Swimmer Jockstrap does have a brother with a 3 inch classic jockstrap waistband as well.

     

    Everything about these 2 pieces is the same for function when it comes to pouch and leg straps. The only difference is the width of the jockstrap waistband and the subsequent rise.

    Like with all my gear, I find myself going through phases of what I want to wear when it comes to fashion or fetish. I find the wide and thin waistbands make little difference to the function-ability of the jockstrap. I tend to prefer the lower profile in my gear so I would lean to the JC Athletic Swimmers Jockstrap.

    How the JC Athletic Swimmer Jockstrap Performs

     

    This is a proper, honest to goodness sports athletic jock. It has lasted longer, held up better and stayed more comfortable than most of the other jockstraps that fit into the “sports/athletic” category.

     

    I have worn it; swimming, running, walking, to the bar and even to backyard cookout. I have washed it by hand and in the machine, I have hung it to dry and thrown it in with my towels on HIGH in the tumble dryer (not recommended) and the JC Athletic Classic Swimmer Jockstrap has held up like a champ.

    Before reading this review on the JC Athletic Classic Swimmer Jockstrap, and if you have not already done so, I invite you to read my review on the “brother” jockstrap; JC Athletic Classic 3 Inch Jockstrap. Simply because everything about the pouch and elastic leg bands in the Swimmer Jockstrap is the same; history, quality, comfort and durability of his wide waistbanded brother.

    During my “coming out” story, in relation to jockstraps, I mentioned that a swimmer jockstrap was my first every jockstrap. SNAP THAT STRAP! wink.

    First though, we should cover quickly “what is a swimmer jockstrap”?

    It is a jockstrap for swimming. Wait wha…?

    Yup, that is what I said…a jockstrap for swimming.

    Back in the “way olden days” when swimming or “public bathing” became a thing; there was no support for the gentlemen and his friends. So-to-speak. A small adaptation to streamline the jockstrap that the bike courier C. F. Bennett invented in 1874, and we end up with what we see here.

    With the advancements in swimsuit design, like what Speedo® has done in the last decades. Remember a Speedo® used to just be wool and men wore swimmer jockstraps underneath. Wet wool! Such Fun!

    Thankfully we now have new materials for swimwear. Spandex, Nylon, Polyester, Elastane, to name a few, which all give us not only more supportive swimwear options but fashionable as well.

     

    While sitting and thinking about how I would write this review again; after having the jockstrap for a number of years, it dawned on me that one of the strongest reasons I went for a swimmer jockstrap was because I was very much into bikini, tanga style underwear and I felt the 3 inch waistband was just too cumbersome.

     

    That was just all about style and feel for me back then. I was for sure not in anyway athletic. I liked the way it felt sleek on me but I think this is when I got my first taste of having a proper pouch that held my junk in place but didn’t suffocate my junk. I hated being squished.

    JC Athletic took every detail of the original classic swimmer jockstrap and packed it into the this garment. No sacrifice and no compromise.

    Hey…while you are here – have you taken part in our 3 Question Jockstrap Survery?

     

    This is a proper, honest to goodness sports athletic jock. It has lasted longer, held up better and stayed more comfortable than any of the other jockstraps that fit into the “sports/athletic” category.

    I have worn it; swimming, running, walking, to the bar and even to backyard BBQ. I have washed by hand and in the machine, I have hung it to dry and thrown it in with my towels on HIGH in the tumble dryer (not recommended) and the JC Athletic Classic Swimmer Jockstrap has held up like a champ.

    In fact, I wore it this morning when I went for my first attempt at a 5am run in months. New runners (as you may see on my Insta) but my old faithful JC Athletic Classic Swimmer jockstrap in black; under my running shorts.

    If you were to take the 2 JC Athletic Jockstraps from my collection, lay them side by side you would see that the Swimmer Jockstrap is my favourite. Best $15 I ever spent AND look how long I have had it! (They came out Feb’17 I believe.)

    A long time ago my mother shared a story with me, a valuable story for sure but as I have been thinking about it the last few days, I seem to find myself more puzzled as to her timing for sharing the story.

     

    Nonetheless, I think it just might be a good time to share it with you; how you interpret the story is completely up to you.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black” align=”align_right” el_width=”40″][vc_column_text]There once was this little bird that got caught up in a very late summer. The weather was exceptionally warm and he was loving it. The only problem was that his friends, one by one at first and then more and more were all leaving each day to head south for the impending winter.

     

    Not our little guy. Nope. He was gonna soak up this great sunshine, keep having fun with all the new friends he was making and maybe he would think about flying south and catching up with his old friends, for the winter…tomorrow.

     

    Well a bunch of “tomorrows” happened and the next thing it was pretty darn chilly for our little feathered friend and he started to really panic thinking to himself, “wow, I better get a move on, it’s getting pretty cold here at night.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5425″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]So he gets a move on and starts flying.

     

    However, he runs into a wee bit of a problem. It is really cold and ice is forming on his little wings and it is getting harder and harder to fly. Sadly, he just can’t do it any more; he is physically exhausted and he’s covered in ice. He may even have icicle snot hanging off his beak.

     

    He falls to the earth.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5426″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]He lands in a field next to some cows feeding around a big hay bale.

     

    Laying there in the snow. Too cold to shiver.

     

    Just as a our little buddy is thinking he is about to take his last breath….”goodbye cruel world” the cow that has been standing next to our little friend lifts her tail and takes a big old dump, snorts and walks away.

     

    YES! You guessed it. To add insult to injury that heifer has SHIT right on our little warrior of a bird. (Well irresponsible party animal is more like it but lets not add insult to injury. It is bad enough one is about to die and then they are completely covered in fresh cow shit.)[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5428″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]But then something amazing happens. The bird notices that the pile of shit is warm and it is melting the snow and ice on his wings.

     

    The icicle snot is gone and his muscles are starting to stop aching….and wait…..wait… yup, he can feel his toes again…this is GREAT!

     

    “Well, how awesome is this…sure it’s a little stinky but I think I am gonna make it now” our little buddy thinks to himself. Automatically, being a bird and all, he started to sing a happy little tune, to say thank you! Thank you universe for having my back!

     

    Picture it, there is our little bird, warming up in a sauna of cow shit, singing away. Just a little while longer and he could give himself a good stretch and a shake and limber up those muscles and be on his way.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5430″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]One small problem. The farm cat was in the field too. Hunting mice and heard our little bird chirping away.

     

    Being a keen hunter this farm cat honed in on the location of our little friend. Found him.

     

    Pounced. Got him.

     

    Dinner.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5433″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]So what do we get to take away from all that? Well let’s look at it this way.

     

    1. Those that get you into shit may not always be your enemy.
    2. Those that get you out of shit may not always be your friend.
    3. If you are happy surrounded by shit, best to keep your mouth shut.
