UFM Underwear for Men is a premium brand of Men's Underwear, owned by Polidan Inc, The product is ideal for Athletic Activity but great for Everyday Wear as well. UFM underwear features an adjustable support system (that is patented in the USA & many other countries) that provides comfort, isolation and superior male support. UFMs prevent sticking and chafing. It is also immune support loss that typical support underwear experience with the laundry cycle. This underwear is a more comfortable alternative to a jockstrap and is great for Fitness, Golf, Basketball, Fishing, Wrestling, Cycling, Yoga, Hiking, Campling or any sport that requires superior male support. Based on many customer testimonials though, it became clear to us that there were many positive medical applications as well: 1. Testicular pain (Hydrocele, Varicocele, Epididymitis), 2. Post-operative support ie Vasectomies. 3. Senior Sag 4,) Incontinence, It secures standard disposable pads, preventing embarrassing leaks. UFM Underwear Products can we purchased at www.ufmunderwear.com, www.athleticunderwear.com, ufmmensunderwear.com or Amazon.com and all EU Amazon sites. Show less
