Should the technlogy in the wonderjock be used on speedos?

Question

I think they wonderjock is great. I don't think there's nothing to be ashamed for wearing it. With briefs, the testicles go mostly in between your legs. The wonderjock doens't let your tescticles be in between your legs, it puts them all in the front. It separates and lifts, there's no padding whatsoever, so it's all YOU.

I just want to know, wouldn't it be great if Speedo would use that technology on its competitive swim briefs?

I know it may create a drag, but guys wouldn't have to worry about shrinkage.

Answer 1

Actually I think it would be a pretty poor idea. I think if all your junk is pushed out and up in front your going to have more drag, so you will have slower swim times. I think keeping your junk in a closer location, ie. between your legs would allow better streamlining, and for swimmers that shave their bodies in order to streamline, well I think wonderjock will harm more than help swim speed.

Answer 2

I like the idea, I looked at the picture from your link. As long as it doesn't affect muscle movement and not too irregular in shape, drag will be less of an issue. Most of the technology that competitive swimmers do wear not only focuses on reducing drag, but to make the body conform to a specific shape or textures to repel water and muscles move more smoothly. As a former swimmer, I wouldn't mind having a technology that supports and creates less friction. Probably just as big of an issue is making better chlorine resistant fabric. Those competitive suits do not last long. Depending on what fabric they are made of, I've had some waste away in less than five meets. The shaving aspect to swimming, it can make you more streamline, but it's mostly in your head, you feel faster and in combination with good tapering prior to a meet, it will allow you to feel more confident.
