What should you look for when buying a jockstrap?

A front pouch that’s too narrow causes uncomfortable pressure; one that’s too wide provides insufficient support. Material: Lycra and microfiber are most comfortable for long-term use; leather is stiffer but more durable. Always wash in a laundry bag at 30 degrees. Never tumble dry.
