Abstract: A pair of male shorts, particularly for small boys, having a protective cup supporter or pocket sewn in the undergarment itself. The shorts are the type which have three triangular spaced apart apertures which surround three different parts of the wearer's body and grip such parts of the body tightly enough for the three to enhance the ability of the undergarment to stay in place when the weight of a protective athletic cup is added to the undergarment. The three apertures of the undergarment are the elastic waistband and two elastic leg openings which grip the waist and both legs. A triangular pocket is sewn on the inside front of the pair of shorts, open along its upper edge to receive a conventional protective cup which is usually held in place by an athletic supporter or jock strap. Snaps or other fasteners are provided to close the pocket when the protective cup has been placed therein.
