Abstract: A nether garment of the bifurcated underwear type having mounted on the crotch segment rearwardly of the central portion thereon a pair of spaced parallel pockets. The pockets are configured to receive pads or blocks of suitable cushiony material capable of supporting the garment wearer's body in certain desired areas. The pocketed pads or blocks tend to relieve or restrict pressure that would normally be applied to the areas of the wearer's body located between said pads or blocks.
