DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE DISCLOSED TECHNOLOGY

[0021] An undergarment which keeps a male penis in a vertical orientation, whether flaccid or erect, or changing between such states, has a medial crotch panel. The medial crotch panel has a taut upper section and more flexible and/or extendable lower region. The upper section is designed to hold a shaft of a penis while the lower region holds a scrotum thereof. In order to keep the taut state of the medial crotch panel the panel is connected to taut side panels and a waist band, which, each are taut and tight along an anterior side of a person wearing the undergarment. The crotch panel can be in an hourglass shape such that a tightest region thereof is at the narrowest portion of the crotch panel where a shaft, below the glans, is held.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an undergarment with medial crotch panel being worn in an embodiment of the disclosed technology. The undergarment 10 is worn by a male 100 with penis, the penis having a glans 102, shaft 104, and scrotum 106. The penis 102/104/106 is within a medial crotch pane 34 herein referred to as a “crotch panel” or medial partially slacked crotch panel”. The crotch panel 34 is part of a “vertically middle” section of the undergarment which further comprises taut side panels 30, two leg panels 40, and a posterior panel 44. A waistband 20 forms a vertically upper section of the undergarment 10 to which the crotch panel 34, side panels 30, leg panels 40 and posterior (or rear) panel 44 are each fixedly attached, such as via stitching.

[0023] “Fixed” or “fixedly” is defined herein as “designed to remain connected through at least 100 wearings of the undergarment” and/or “requires cutting or destructive actions to remove.”

[0024] FIG. 2 shows a reverse side perspective view of the undergarment of FIG. 1 being worn. In this Figure a leg panel 40 is more clearly visible. Note that the two leg panels are substantially identical or identical in embodiments of the disclosed technology. The undergarment can have a vertical line of symmetry extending equi-distant between the legal panels 40 and/or at a vertical medial line and/or at a center of the crotch panel 34.

[0025] The compression fabric is elastic, stretching in all four directions. Each of the seams between panels have thin (0.8 mm) elastic bands sewn into the seams. The function of the “compression-fabric” and its design and shape is to tightly hold the shaft in place. This function is enhanced with the thin elastic bands being sewn into the seams that adjoin the panels; these thin elastic bands only stretch in the linear path of the band, with each end of these thin bands being anchored to the thick waistband; one end attaching to the rear of the waistband, and the other end attaching to the front of the waistband. The design and placement of the seams with elastic bands follows the contour of the human form in such a way as to enhance the function of the garment of holding the shaft in place.

[0026] Seams with elastic bands include seams between panels 40 and 32, 32 and 40, 30 and 40, 44 and 40. The pull of these elastic bands sewn into the seams further creates tension along the base of the shaft by placing tension towards the midline of the body without constriction of the testicles, due to the positioning and elastic nature of the seams between the panels 32 and 34.

[0027] Further, note that side panel 32 is taut meaning that the panel is held in the entirety, or substantially in the entirety, against the skin of wearer and/or stretched substantially to a maximum. So too, the leg panels 40 are stretched as such, and against a skin of a wearer in such a manner, from an anterior side thereof to at least a beginning of a posterior side thereof and/or to a beginning of a fixed connection with the rear panel 44.

[0028] Reviewing the above, the undergarment 10 has a top region 20 with elastic band or other mechanism holding the top region to a torso of a wearer (at a front and back side thereof). Beneath the top region 20 is a mid-region 30 with a centrally placed crotch panel 34 surrounded on two sides by front panels 30. The crotch panel has a taut region 34 and slacked or loose region 38, compared to the taut region. “Taut” can further be defined as “when pulled between two fingers and released, snaps back into a resting condition before the pulling.” The entirety of the mid-region is held taut in embodiments of the disclosed technology based on a pull of the leg panels 40 on the front panels 32 which pull on the crotch panel 36 and a rear panel 44.

[0029] Describing out of order, FIG. 4 shows a front elevation view of the undergarment of FIG. 1. The crotch panel 34 has a narrower / narrowest portion on the anterior (front) side situated between a superior (top) and inferior (bottom) region thereof. The crotch panel 34 is thus an hourglass shape when viewing the front side thereof. “Hourglass” is defined as “having wider ends than a central portion between the two ends.” The narrowest region (@ label 34 in FIG. 4) holds the shaft of the penis 104 (see FIG. 1) while a superior (top) region of the crotch panel 34 holds the glans 102 of the penis. The scrotum 106 is in a lower region 36 of the crotch panel 34.

[0030] The perineal section 48 of the crotch panel, in some embodiments of the disclosed technology, is integrated as part of the crotch panel 34. “Perineal” is defined as “the area extending from the anus to the scrotum.” The “perineal section” is a majority, substantially all, and/or all of the “perineal”. In this non-worn / resting configuration of the undergarment 10 while not on a person one can see that the front panels 32 are taut, though less taught than the upper part of the crotch panel 34 and more taut than a lower side/part 36 of the crotch panel 34. This is so that there is room for the scrotum 106 to hang therein without the fabric being taut thereon. When the undergarment 10 is worn on a person of a proper size (e.g. having a waist substantially equal to the circumference of a taut waistband 20) then the side panels 32, leg panels 40, and crotch panel 34 become more taut (more tight / more stretched).

[0031] Returning now to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 shows a plan view of panels used to create the undergarment of FIG. 1. The side panel 32, two of which are used to form the undergarment 10, has a convex curvilinear side at letter C. A linear / flat side is between the letters A and C and forms a top (superior) side of the panel in the undergarment 10. Another side, at letter A, has two linear parts with an acute angle between the linear parts, the inferior part being longer than the superior part. This side panel attached to a leg panel 40 whereby the portions thereof labeled with letter A are sewn or otherwise fixedly connected to one another. There are two leg panels 40; one for each leg.

[0032] The crotch panel has a shaft region 36, scrotum region 38, and perineal region 49. Each of these regions is adapted / designed / configured to cover the region of a person for which it is named. The shaft region 36 of the crotch panel 34 has two concave curvilinear sides which form the hourglass shape. Each of these concave curvilinear sides has a side C which attached to an oppositely-angled convex curvilinear side C of a side panel 32. This side panels 32 are stretched in a curve into the page (along a Z-axis) as well as an X-axis forming a rounded front of the undergarment along with the upper part 36 of the crotch panel and the rear panel 44.

[0033] The crotch panel has, in embodiments of the disclosed technology, has two wings labeled at B which fold and attach to the leg panel at B. This then creates a perineal region 49 of the crotch panel which at a linear end thereof is fixedly attached to a perineal region of the rear panel 44, the rear panel adapted to cover the glutes / gluteal muscles. This, when worn, causes the crotch panel to be pulled in an inferior direction (down) while one or both of the rear panel 44 and crotch panel 49 pass over the perineal section of a person wearing the undergarment 10.

[0034] As such, the crotch panel 34 is stretched and held taut when worn by a perineal region 49 thereof pulling on a loosely configured scrotum region 38. The crotch panel 34 is further stretched and held taut at an upper side by a waistband 10 and at lateral sides by side panels 32, and in some embodiments, leg panels 40.
