Dirty Fukker Jockstrap Underwear
Treat your cock to a kick-ass jock!
As gentlemen of aesthetic discernment and those who love them will already be aware, shopping for men’s underwear can be a dispiriting experience. Go to any high street department store, and it’s the same old story. Women’s lingerie takes up the best part of a floor, while men’s pants lurk disconsolately at the back of the shop like a hidden shame, with the choice on offer limited to chavvy boxer shorts and saggy-assed, passion-killing Y-fronts that your granddad would blush to be seen in. But things don’t have to be this way, and kudos is due to LoveHoney for making an effort to offer a selection of men’s underwear with some originality and flair.
A case in point: this jockstrap from sassy young London-based label Dirty Fukker. Supportive, stylish and oh so salaciously sexy, the DF jock, despite its in-yer-face branding, is a class act all the way. I own several jocks of different makes, and this is the best I’ve seen yet in terms of materials and construction. The pouch is made from a soft, brushed cotton-lycra mix, and the waistband and side straps are soft yet sturdy, with all the stitching looking neat and secure. Elastic can cut in uncomfortably, but not this stuff. The jockstrap only arrived yesterday, so I don’t know yet how well it’ll stand up to laundering, but it gives every indication of being well-made and durable. The waistband is 1 ½ inches wide, rather than the 3-inch width more commonly used on classic jocks like Bike or Safe-T-Gard – it’d be good if Dirty Fukker offered a wide-waistband model as well. I’d also like to see Dirty Fukker tanga briefs, which is the style of pants I wear most of the time, and I’ve written to them to suggest this.
I had some worries about the sizing. My waist measurement fluctuates between 34 and 36 inches, but I’ve lost weight recently (moving house will do that!), and so I went for the medium size, which LoveHoney advise is for 32 to 34 inches. When the jockstrap arrived (very prompt delivery from LoveHoney as usual), the label on it said 31 to 33 inches, and I feared that I’d have to exchange it for the next size up, but after trying it on (over some other pants, as per LoveHoney’s instructions), it turned out to fit fine. The waistband sits well below your actual waist anyway – your hip measurements are probably more relevant.
The DF jock’s unique selling point is of course that naughty logo round the waistband. I’m not normally a big fan of the visible-underwear look, but I can see how this would be fun to flaunt at a club, as well as in more intimate surroundings. Just don’t wear it to your next parents’ evening! One small criticism that I’d make is that it’d look better if the logo was centred on the front of the pouch. Given the attention to detail that the rest of the construction displays, it’s a shame that DF haven’t gone that extra mile to make this garment totally impeccable. But still, I’m basically very happy with this purchase, and I’ll probably be buying another of these jockstraps soon.
I shopped around online before buying this, and it’s worth pointing out that LoveHoney’s price is very keen – you’ll pay half as much again for this item at a certain well-known online auction site, and LoveHoney are even better value than buying direct from the makers.
Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars
Pros: Sexy, masculine, well-made, comfortable, looks great.
Cons: Logo not centralised at the front.
Bottom Line: Supercool underwear for men who know what they are and aren’t afraid to admit it!
