Abstract: Men's briefs and lining of the briefs comprising a waistband section, a front section, and a back section, wherein a support belt is connected to the front section. The bottom of the support belt has an arc shape and forms a bag section between the bottom of the tightening position of the scrotum and the upper ends of the wearer's legs. The bag section formed at the bottom of the front section facilitates the supporting and holding of the scrotum. The two ends of the support belt flare up and are connected with the front section and the waistband section to facilitate the stability of the support belt and the supporting force. The support belt itself can be adjusted easily by adjusting the width of the flared mouth of the support belt, the length of the support belt, or the tension of the elastic ribbon. Thus, with adjustment by the wearer, the proper support position and a comfortable supporting force can be attained.
