Athletic garment with integral cup assembly

摘要

An athletic garment generally includes a short member, a cup receiving pocket, and a strap. The short member may include a front panel, rear panel, two side panels, and a waistband. The pocket is dimensioned to receive an athletic protective cup and has an open end, a closed end and two side portions. The open end of the pocket is attached to the waistband or to the front panel of the short member. The strap is coupled to the closed end of the pocket and is attached along an axis of the rear panel of the short member. Alternatively, a protective cup may be attached to the athletic garment without the use of a pocket. The garment is also useable with replaceable incontinent pads and/or where the cup is formed from liquid absorbent material.
