Talk:Jockstrap

Why would a jockstrap be disposable?

I'm not quite sure I understand why there are a few sentences that state how jockstraps should be thrown away for sanitary reasons and that major sports teams sometimes use them once, then toss. A jockstrap is like any other garment, if it is put in the washing machine with hot water and detergent it is perfectly suitable to wear for years, as long as the elastic is still good and it fits the athlete.

UrbanDictionary

I question the relevance of including the fact that Urban Dictionary has multiple definitions for jockstrap.

Ass picture

Do we really need as the main lead image, a guy's ass? Can't the image just be the front part of a jockstrap rather than a dude's ass? Caden ^cool 20:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

C'mon, if anything the lack of dude's ass is the main issue with this article. Currently, jockstraps are part of gay male culture, and this article does a poor job of representing that Gangweedersriseup (talk) 01:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Female genital protector

Recently had to remove content claiming the female "jillstrap" or pelvic protectir was designed by a USA Miami man named Ronald Paramore, in the United States. This information was originally from the wiki article "Jockstrap".

There is evidence, though currently not accessible online, that female pelvic protectors were available for female broomball and ice hockey players, as well as ringette players, in Canada by the late 1980's. Until this is sorted out, I think editors should refrain from giving credit to Paramore since this doesn't appear to be the case. CheckersBoard (talk) 00:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

The hyperlink to jockstrap for women (currently points to jockstrap for females, which doesn't exist) is broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.20.115.59 (talk) 15:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
