yeah, it's a jock strap. yeah, it works. yeah, it's cheaper than a lot of other ones but just as effective. and yeah, even at the price it's still expensive, hence three stars. otherwise it could have gotten 4 stars. just can't rationalize giving a jock strap 5 stars under any circumstances. maybe if it smelled like lavender. can't hardly believe Amazon asked me to review this, but here it is.
