Abstract
The invention is generally accomplished by providing an absorbent pouch for the male genitalia that has a generally triangular opening wherein one side of the triangle is adapted to be worn flat against the upper genital region and the other two portions of the triangular opening extend into the crotch and meet behind the scrotum. The pouch extending downward from the triangular opening has sufficient capacity to comfortably contain the male genitalia, and the opening at the top is sufficient to allow air circulation. The allowance for air circulation decreases skin problems.
