Why do gay men wear jockstraps?

The jockstrap began as athletic support in the 1870s. Gay men adopted it from the 1950s through physique magazines, then nightlife and fashion, because it frames the front with a supportive pouch and leaves the back bare. Today it's simply a favourite style, and anyone can wear one.

Which jockstrap should I start with?

The STRIKE PRO Core Cotton Jockstrap is the easiest first jock: soft cotton, a supportive pouch and our lowest price. For a fashion jock, PUMP!'s rib and mesh jockstraps are our best-known styles.

Which brands make jockstraps for gay men?

In this edit: PUMP!, TEAMM8, Modus Vivendi, SALIGIA and our own-label STRIKE PRO. SALIGIA is exclusive to BANG & STRIKE in the UK.

What size jockstrap should I buy?

Most of our jockstraps run S to XL. Choose your usual underwear size and check the size chart on each product page, because fit varies by brand.

Is the packaging discreet?

Yes. Every order is sent in plain, discreet packaging.
