Abstract

A loincloth with a pouch to hold male genitalia to prevent exposure of the genitalia in public while the wearer is using a sauna or steam bath. The loincloth consists of two panels of material that are detachably attached together by two buckles to form a waistband. One of the panels has an elastic strip that concertinas the material to allow the panel to keep close to the wearer's posterior and the opposing panel has a pouch attached to the inside of the panel to accommodate male genitalia. The loincloth allows fresh air to all parts of the body, except the genitalia held in the pouch.

Description

1 2452985 ROdPOd Swimwcar (for men) This idea came about while i was thinking about a more useful attire when having a Sauna or steam bath. One of the problems that i found was that if I wear the conventional type of swimwear in a sauna or steam room the only place that does not get exfoliated is the area beneath the tninks. In addition to this removing and putting the swimwear was compromised by having to pull them down over both legs. At first i thought about just a traditional skirt type swimwear with vents at either side. However in a mixed steam or sauna this could be consideted indecent and you would be prone to expose yourself The ROdPOd consists of two pieces of material front and back see fig 6 & 7. These in turn are attached by a buckle fastener on the left side see figS and a release side buckle on the right see fig 3. on the inside of the back piece of material fig 6 there is an elastic strip which slightly concertinas the material and keeps it close to the body see fig 4.

The main feature of the RodPod is the elasticated Pod which is attached to the inside of the front of the material see fig 1 & 5. How it works is that the male's penis and testicles' are inserted into the Pod and the two pieces of material are then secured by the side release buckle see fig 3. There are gaps between both pieces of material and they are only joined by the buckle thstener and side release buckle one buckle static and the other a moving part. This would mean that the only area that is not subject to fresh air is the genital area as it is in the ROdPOd and the waistband. Clai
