1. Nike
“Are you wearing the-“, “the Nike jockstrap? Yeah, I am”, said every single gay when these were released on ASOS last year. The jocks became really popular when they dropped and were then seen in mirror selfies across the globe. The jock is now back in stock and a pack of three costs £27 from ASOS here.
2. Chromatica
Take me to Chromatica! We couldn’t put together a list of jockstraps without including this one. All other jockstraps can go home because the Chromatica jock is here.
Yes, if you didn’t already know, Lady Gaga released a Chromatica-themed jockstrap to coincide with the release of her album of the same name. It was launched alongside a thong, rain boots and sweatpants, so something for every occasion – she’s such a thoughtful popstar. The jock is pretty limited in stock at the moment, but you can get it from Lady Gaga’s official store here.
3. Box Underwear
Box Underwear is a popular brand among gay men, you might recognise the logo from thirst traps online or you’ve seen the line yourself while looking for new underwear. The site has plenty of different styles including snug trunks, see-through boxers, tight briefs and ribbed. They’re priced from £20-£27 and you can shop all of the Box jockstraps on the website here.
4. Classic jockstraps
If you’re after a retro, classic and sporty look then these athletic ones are ideal. Obviously they were originally used for sports but are also a good choice for comfort and support, as well as aesthetic purposes in whatever way that may be… You can get these ones in a pack of three featuring white, black and green for £27.99 on Amazon or you can buy them individually.

They can also all be shopped on Amazon.

This classic design from Diesel is also a popular jockstrap choice and comes in packs of three at around the £24 on Amazon.

To shop them go to the Amazon page here.
7. Calvin Klein
Another popular underwear brand is Calvin Klein, so if you’ve got the briefs or the trunks then why not get the complete set and add the jockstrap.
