The present invention relates to an athletic support having a waistband with a bottom edge having a front side and a back side and a support panel. The support panel includes a crotch section having a front portion sized and shaped to contain a person's genitals, a rear portion sized and shaped to cover the space between the buttocks but not restrict or impede movement of the person's legs and a strap portion joining the front portion and rear portion of said crotch section. A first front edge of the support panel is attached to the front side of the bottom edge of the waistband and a second rear edge of the support panel is attached to the rear side of the bottom edge of the waistband. The support panel is formed from a woven fabric comprising a blend of a synthetic fiber and at least 10% of a stretchable fiber wherein the tensile strength of the fabric is sufficient to hold the genitals in place against the body when in use and the waistband is made from a fabric with an equal or greater tensile strength than the support panel.
