Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to boxer shorts for men, with a partitioned front portion, to reduce contact with the wearer's thighs. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] The discomfort and irritation associated with undergarments, such as boxer shorts, are well known to men. In particular, contact between genitalia and the thigh is problematic, causing sweating, sticking, hygiene problems, distraction and consternation. Additionally, it can be awkward or embarrassing to make adjustments in public. [0005] Typical accommodations to these problems are to wear larger sizes of boxer shorts or to attempt to ignore the irritation. [0006] Moreover, boxer shorts may be considered less than attractive in private and/or sexual situations. While tighter fitting briefs may be undergarments may be compelling for such situations, these can likewise be uncomfortable and may impede fertility, which may or may not be a problem for some wearers. [0007] Some examples of prior art boxer shorts which have attempted to deal with at least some of these concerns are U.S. Pat. No. 5,379,462 entitled "Male Pant-Type Garments with Internal Suspensory Support Structure" issued on Jan. 10, 1995 to Morgan et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,958 entitled "Underwear with Partitioning Liner", issued on Oct. 3, 1989 to Webster and U.S. Design Pat. No. Des. 509,945 entitled "Male Underwear with a Genitalia Pouch" issued on Sep. 27, 2005 to Ogle. OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide undergarments for men which are comfortable. [0009] It is therefore a further object of the present invention to provide undergarments for men which are hygienic. [0010] It is therefore a still further object of the present invention to provide undergarments for men which are attractive. [0011] It is therefore a still further object of the present invention to provide undergarments for men which do not tend to impede fertility. [0012] These and other objects are attained by providing boxer shorts for men. The boxer shorts typically retain the outline of traditional boxer shorts. However, a fabric panel is installed in each leg of the boxer shorts so that when the shorts are worn, a fabric panel is provided between the genitals and the thigh. The fabric panels are typically shaped as a crescent on top to conform to body shape and to enhance adjustability based upon how high the boxer shorts are worn. Moreover, the fabric panels are spaced to provide sufficient for genitalia so as to not impede a "free spirit" feeling while walking.
