Pants

Abstract

Pants include a body having a first piece and a second piece and an auxiliary protecting-crotch having a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first piece and the second piece are sewn together to constitute a waist wearing-portion and two leg wearing-portions. The first/second connecting end are connected to a first connecting region located in the upper edge of the first piece and a second connecting region located in the second piece respectively. The distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the first piece along the body surface is greater than the distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the second piece along the body surface. Along a wearing direction, the length from the bottom edge of the first piece to the waist wearing-portion is greater than the length from the second connecting region to the waist wearing-portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention is related to pants, and more particularly, the present invention relates to pants with an auxiliary supportive-crotch.

2. Description of the Related Art

With the increasing demand of modern people for quality of life, the designs of various articles of personal clothing are undergoing continuous improvement to meet comfort requirements. However, in the design of underpants for men, the special and variable structure of the external male genitals limits the range of innovation; as a result, the extant designs of men's underwear have several notable deficiencies.

In the case of briefs for men, the genitals are better secured but the ventilation is less than satisfactory, leading to health concerns. Although boxer shorts solve the ventilation problem, boxer shorts cannot support the weight of the scrotum and penis effectively, so the scrotum and penis are neither supported nor secured.

In addition, the penis can vary in size or volume during the span of a day, and such changes may be visible as a bulge in the surface of the clothing. Obvious movements caused by partial or complete engorgement of the penis can cause embarrassment to the user.

Patent JP2007-070785 discloses men's underwear for accommodating and securing the penis by a genitals accommodating portion. However, the design of Patent JP2007-070785 cannot effectively support the weight of the scrotum. In addition, because the design of Patent JP2007-070785 applies a traditional cotton material to cover penis, no breathable space is available for the penis. Thus the design of Patent JP2007-070785 cannot provide overall breathability for the genitals.

Patent CN201479935 discloses an absorbent isolation layer and a scrotum accommodating space to solve concerns about health and poor breathability. However, the design of Patent CN201479935 provides neither breathable space for the penis nor support for the weight of the scrotum.

Patent CN202857839 provides a breathable shell mold for accommodating a penis and a scrotum in underwear for covering the penis and scrotum. However, the breathable shell mold is not flexible. The design of Patent CN202857839 has a limited accommodating space for the genitals and may not be comfortable for the user.

U.S. Pat. No. 2,446,326 discloses pants with an inner crotch. However, because the inner crotch covers the genitals entirely, the inner crotch can be considered as briefs sewn into boxer shorts, and this design cannot provide overall breathability for the genitals. In addition, the inner crotch provides neither sufficient space to accommodate the genitals nor any support for the genitals.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,820,284 discloses a supporting element configured in men's underwear for supporting male genitals. However, the design of U.S. Pat. No. 6,820,284 still applies the traditional cotton material of underwear to cover the genitals and cannot provide overall breathability for the genitals. On the other hand, although the supporting element can provide some support for the genitals, the underwear still cannot provide sufficient space for accommodating the genitals. In addition, the design of U.S. Pat. No. 6,820,284 further cannot conceal physiological changes of the male genitals.

Patent US2010/0058517 also discloses underwear with an inner crotch used for supporting male genitals. Similarly, the design of Patent US2010/0058517 also applies the traditional cotton material of underwear to cover the penis and cannot provide overall breathability for the genitals. In addition, although the inner crotch can provide some support for the genitals, the underwear still cannot provide sufficient space for accommodating the genitals. In addition, the design of Patent US2010/0058517 further cannot conceal physiological changes of the male genitals.

Patent US2005/0235399 further discloses underwear with an inner crotch, and the inner crotch can be integrated with a scrotum bag to accommodate and support male genitals. Although the design of the inner crotch integrated with the scrotum bag can provide some support for the genitals, the underwear still cannot provide sufficient space for accommodating the genitals. In addition, the design of Patent US2005/0235399 further cannot conceal physiological changes of the male genitals. Furthermore, this design includes an opening in the inner crotch, and a scrotum bag with breathable holes is sewn into the opening for supporting the genitals. The manufacturing process of Patent US2005/0235399 is complicated and requires much manufacturing time. Furthermore, although the design of Patent US2005/0235399 can provide supporting and breathing effects, it still cannot provide a breathable accommodating space for the penis.

From the above, it is clear that the men's pants of the prior art cannot provide overall breathability, securing and supporting effects for genitals, low manufacturing costs, or sufficient space for accommodating the genitals. In addition, the previous men's pants further cannot conceal physiological changes of the male genitals. Therefore, the men's pants of the prior art have to be improved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide pants which can provide overall breathability, securing and supporting effects for male genitals, low manufacturing costs, and sufficient space for accommodating the genitals and which can conceal physiological changes of the male genitals.

To achieve the abovementioned and other objects, the present invention provides pants including a main body and an auxiliary supportive-crotch. The main body includes a first piece and a second piece. The first piece and the second piece are sewn together to constitute a waist-wearing portion and two leg-wearing portions, wherein a user's leg can enter a leg-wearing portion through the waist-wearing portion along a wearing direction. The auxiliary supportive-crotch includes a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first connecting end is connected to a first connecting region located at the inner upper edge of the first piece, and the second connecting end is connected to a second connecting region located on the second piece.

In the present invention, the distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the first piece along the surface of the main body is a first distance, the distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the second piece along the surface of the main body is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

When the main body is in a folded status, the distance from the bottom edge of the first piece to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a first length, the distance from the bottom edge of the second piece to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a second length, and the distance from the second connecting region to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a third length. When the main body expands from the folded status to a wearing status along an expanding direction, the distance from the bottom edge of the first piece to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a fourth length, the distance from the bottom edge of the second piece to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a fifth length, and the distance from the second connecting region to the waist-wearing portion in the wearing direction is a sixth length, wherein the wearing direction is substantially perpendicular to the expanding direction, the first length is greater than the third length, and the fourth length is greater than or equal to the sixth length.

In addition, the auxiliary supportive-crotch of the present invention is, for example, an elastic mesh. The first piece has at least two breathable portions disposed on two sides of the first piece opposite to the auxiliary supportive-crotch. Therefore, when the main body expands from a folded status to a wearing status, a suitable accommodating space is formed between the auxiliary supportive-crotch and the first piece. The accommodating space can provide sufficient space for accommodating genitals and also serve as a buffer space for male genitals that undergo physiological changes to effectively prevent bulging. The breathable holes of the auxiliary supportive-crotch and the breathable holes of the breathable portions can provide air convection with the external environment so as to cause a breathing effect of the auxiliary supportive-crotch. Furthermore, the auxiliary supportive-crotch cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants due to the design of the accommodating space, nor can the disposition of the male genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch further be easily discerned from the exterior of the pants. Therefore, the breathability design of the present invention can also provide a function of personal privacy.

It should be noted that the pants of the present invention can be applied not only in the field of underwear but also in all kinds of pants, such as beach pants, sports pants or the like, and the present invention does not have any limitation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

To enable persons skilled in the art to understand the technical details of the present invention, the present invention is herein described with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1A is a schematic drawing illustrating the pants according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B is a front view illustrating the pants depicted in FIG. 1A. FIG. 2A is a schematic drawing illustrating the pants depicted in FIG. 1A from another angle. FIG. 2B is a schematic drawing illustrating the pants depicted in FIG. 2A turned outward. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2B, the pants 10 of the present embodiment comprise a main body 100 and an auxiliary supportive-crotch 200. The main body 100 includes a first piece 110 and a second piece 120. In the present embodiment, the first piece 110 is, for example, sewn together with the second piece 120 by a suture 102. The second piece 120 is adjacent to the first piece 110. The sewing connection between the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 configures a waist-wearing portion 130 and two leg-wearing portions 140. Therefore, when the main body 100 is in a wearing status, a user's leg can enter the waist-wearing portion 130 along a wearing direction A1 through one leg-wearing portion 140.

In addition, the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 of the present embodiment is, for example, sewn inside the main body 100. In detail, the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 includes a first connecting end 200E1 and a second connecting end 200E2. The first connecting end 200E1 is connected to a first connecting region R1 located in the inner upper edge of the first piece 110. The second connecting end 200E2 is connected to a second connecting region R2 located in the second piece 120. In the present embodiment, for example, the second connecting region R2 of the second piece 120 is located at one end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120. In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 is, for example, also sewn together with the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 directly or indirectly for increasing the sewing strength such that the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 is sewn inside of the main body 100 efficiently and securely.

From above, the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 of the present embodiment includes, for example, an elastic covering portion 210 and two elastic belts 220. The elastic covering portion 210 is, for example, an elastic mesh with breathable holes, and the elastic belts 220 are respectively sewn into two sides of the elastic covering portion 210. In the present embodiment, the first connecting end 200E1 is located at the front edge 212 of the elastic covering portion 210, and the second connecting end 200E2 is located at the end edge 214 of the elastic covering portion 210. The elastic covering portion 210 forms a suspended curved bag between the first connecting region R1 and the second connecting region R2. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the elasticity of the elastic belt 220 is greater than the elasticity of the elastic covering portion 210. Thus, the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 can cover, secure, and support male genitals efficiently.

In the present embodiment, the first piece 110 is, for example, a front-side piece, and the second piece 120 is, for example, a back-side piece. Therefore, the side edges of the first piece 110 and second piece 120 can be sewn together with each other by the suture 102. It should be noted that although drawings of the present embodiment are used to exemplify the underwear, the pants of the present invention can in actual application be embodied by all kinds of pants, such as beach pants, sports pants, or the like, and the present invention does not have any limitation.

FIG. 3A is a sectional schematic drawing illustrating the pants depicted in FIG. 2A along a wearing direction in a folded status, and FIG. 3B is a sectional schematic drawing illustrating the pants depicted in FIG. 3A expanded to a wearing status along an expanding direction. The second connecting region R2 of the present embodiment is, for example, located at the end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120. Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in the present embodiment, the end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120 is sewn together with the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 and the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110. That is, in the present embodiment, the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200, the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110, and the end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120 are sewn together with one another such that the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 can provide stable covering, securing, and supporting effects.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in the present embodiment, the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the upper edge 112 of the first piece along the surface of the main body 100 is a first distance D1 (represented as a thin dotted line in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B), wherein the first connecting region R1 is, for example, located at the upper edge 112 of the first piece 110 for being sewn together with the first connecting end 200E1 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200. In addition, the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the upper edge 122 of the second piece 120 along the surface of the main body 100 is a second distance D2 (represented as a thick dotted line in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B). Similarly, in order to represent all features of the present invention clearly, the present embodiment makes the following definitions: in the folded status (as shown in FIG. 3A), the distance from the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a first length L1; the distance from the bottom edge 124 of the second piece 120 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a second length L2; the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a third length L3.

In addition, when the main body 100 expands from the folded status to the wearing status (as shown in FIG. 3B) along an expanding direction A2, the distance from the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a fourth length L4; the distance from the bottom edge 124 of the second piece 120 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a fifth length L5; the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the waist-wearing portion 130 along the wearing direction A1 is a sixth length L6. In the present embodiment, the wearing direction A1 and the expanding direction A2 are substantially perpendicular.

The folded status of the present embodiment refers to the status in which the entirety of the first piece 110 is close to the entirety of the second piece 120, and the wearing status is the user's wearing status. In order to represent all folding features of the present pants in the drawings clearly, the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 shown in FIG. 3A are not completely adjacent. The location of the first piece 110 shown in FIG. 3A is only closer to the second piece 120 than the location of the first piece 110 in the wearing status (as shown in FIG. 3B). As a result, there is a suitable space among the first piece 110, the second piece 120, and the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 to show all features of the present invention. In other words, the drawings are presented herein for purposes of illustration and are not to be interpreted as indicating a limitation.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the first distance D1 (the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the upper edge 112 of the first piece 110 along the surface of the main body 100) is greater than the second distance D2 (the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the upper edge of the second piece 122 along the surface of the main body 100). The first distance D1 is preferably 1.05 to 1.5 times that of the second distance D2. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first length L1 is greater than the third length L3 when the main body 100 is in the folded status (as shown in FIG. 3A). When the main body 100 expands from the folded status to the wearing status (as shown in FIG. 3B) along the expanding direction A2, the fourth length L4 is greater than or equal to the sixth length L6. Therefore, when the pants are worn by a user, a larger space is configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 and the first piece 110 such that the pants have a preferred degree of breathability.

In detail, in the present embodiment, when the main body 100 is in the folded status, a first accommodating space S1 is configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 and the first piece 110. The first accommodating space S1 has the first length L1 in the wearing direction A1 and a first width W1 in the expanding direction A2, wherein the first width W1 is a maximum distance from the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 to the first piece 110 along the expanding direction A2. On the other hand, when the main body 100 is in the wearing status, a second accommodating space S2 is configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 and the first piece 110. The second accommodating space S2 has the fourth length L4 along the wearing direction A1 and a second width W2 along the expanding direction A2, wherein the second width W2 is a maximum distance from the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 to the first piece 110 along the expanding direction A2.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the first length L1 is, for example, slightly larger than the fourth length L4. The first width W1 is, for example, obviously less than the second width W2. Therefore, in the folded status, the second accommodating space S2 of the main body 100 in the wearing status is larger than the first accommodating space S1 of the main body 100. As a result, when the pants of the present embodiment are worn by a user, a larger space is configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 and the first piece 110 to provide breathability.

In a preferred embodiment, when the main body 100 is in the folded status, the first length L1 is greater than the second length L2, and the second length L2 is greater than or equal to the third length L3. When the main body 100 is in the wearing status, the fourth length L4 is greater than or equal to the fifth length L5, and the fifth length L5 is greater than or equal to the sixth length L6. Furthermore, whether in the folded status or in the wearing status, the pants 10 of the present invention allow the adjustment of a preferable degree of breathability by controlling the distance from the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110 to the waist-wearing portion 130 (the first length L1/the fourth length L4) and the distance from the second connecting region R2 to the waist-wearing portion 130 (the third length L3/the sixth length L6), and the pants 10 of the present invention also allow the adjustment of the second piece 120 of the pants 10 to provide a preferred degree of comfort for the user's buttocks by controlling the distance from the bottom edge 124 of the second piece 120 to the waist-wearing portion 130 (the second length L2/the fifth length L5). In other words, the pants 10 of the present invention have an overall and comprehensive design.

In order that the pants with the auxiliary supportive-crotch of the present embodiment can have a preferred degree of breathability, the present embodiment further can include at least two breathable portions 116 configured in the first piece 110. In the present embodiment, the first piece 110 has, for example, two breathable portions 116. The breathable portions 116 are configured on two sides of the first piece 110 opposite to the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200, and each breathable portion 116 has multiple breathable holes O. Furthermore, in the folded status, the breathable portions 116 are exposed at the front edge 118 of the first piece 110. In the wearing status, the breathable portions 116 are exposed at both the front edge 118 of the first piece 110 and the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110. Thus, when the pants 10 are worn by the user, the breathable portions 116 are exposed at the front edge 118 and the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110, which can provide air convection for the genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch through the foregoing second accommodating space S2, thus achieving the functions of heat dissipation and perspiration. In other words, the preferred embodiment of the present invention configures the breathable portions 116 of the front edge 118 and the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110 such that the pants 10 have a preferred degree of breathability.

In addition, the materials of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 can be elastic materials. When the pants 10 are worn by the user, the breathable portions 116 configured in the first piece 110 can be extended to increase the breathable area by the elastic material of the first piece 110, and then the breathability of the main body can be increased more comprehensively. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a projection area Z of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 projected on the first piece 110 overlaps, for example, at least a portion of the breathable portions 116 in the folded status. This is, in one embodiment, the configuring locations of the foregoing breathable portions 116 do not entirely overlap the genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200. Therefore, the auxiliary supportive-crotch cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants. In addition, the male genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 further cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants. Furthermore, due to the second accommodating space S2 between the breathable portions 116 of the first piece and the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 in the present embodiment, the auxiliary supportive-crotch further cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants 10. Similarly, the male genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch cannot be observed. Thus, in the present invention, the design of the breathable portions provides a function of good breathability and also provides a function of personal privacy.

In another preferred embodiment, in the folded status, the configuring locations of the above-mentioned breathable portions 116 can entirely overlap the genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200. In this embodiment, when the pants are worn by a user, the breathable portions 116 of the first piece cannot be corresponded to the breathable holes of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 because of the spatial mismatch. Similarly, in this embodiment, the auxiliary supportive-crotch also cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants. The color of the main body 100 and the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 can be black or other dark colors to further increase the personal privacy effect, and the colors of the main body 100 and the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 can be the same such that the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 configured inside of the main body 100 cannot be observed through the breathable portions 116.

Herein, the present embodiment describes the relations of the configuration between the breathable portions 116 and the first piece 110. FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing illustrating the breathable portions configured in the first piece depicted in FIG. 1A. In the present embodiment, each breathable portion 116 is sewn into the first piece 110 by a first suture 116A and a second suture 116B. The sewing curvature C1 of the first suture 116A is, for example, greater than the sewing curvature C2 of the second suture 116B. The first suture 116A and the second suture 116B intersect at two points P1/P2. The second sutures 116B of the breathable portions 116 are located outside of the first sutures 116A. The point P1 is, for example, located at the front edge 118 of the first piece, and the point P2 is, for example, located at the bottom edge 114 of the first piece. In addition, the minimum gap between these first sutures 116A is a first gap G1, and the maximum gap between one first suture 116A and the corresponding second suture 116B is a second gap G2. The width of the first gap G1 is 1.1 to 2 times that of the second gap G2. The ratio of the width between the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 can provide the genitals with a preferred and overall breathability, securing and supporting effects by the auxiliary supportive-crotch, and a personal privacy function.

The distance from the point P2 to the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110 is, for example, a third gap G3. The width of the first gap G1 is, for example, 3 to 6 times that of the second gap G3. In addition, in the folded status, the distance from the bottom edge 114 of the first piece 110 to the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110 along the wearing direction A1 is a seventh length L7 (referring to FIG. 3A), and the length of the seventh length L7 is 1 to 2.5 times that of the first gap G1. In a preferred embodiment, the length of the seventh length L7 is 1.5 times that of the first gap G1. Similarly, the foregoing width ratio can provide the genitals with a preferred and overall breathability, securing and supporting effects by the auxiliary supportive-crotch, and a personal privacy function.

In the foregoing embodiment, the first piece 110, the second piece 120, and the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 are sewn together with each other such that the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 is configured securely inside the main body 100. In another preferred embodiment, the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 can be sewn into the inner bottom edge of the second piece 120 directly and not sewn together with the first piece 110. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance from the sewing position of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 to the first piece upper edge 112 along the surface of the main body 100 is, for example, equal to the distance from the sewing position of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 to the upper edge 122 of the second piece along the surface of the main body 100. The second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 is sewn to the rear of the sewing position of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120. Preferably, the distance from the sewing position of the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 to the sewing position of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 is, for example, longer than or equal to the first gap G1. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the distance from the second connecting end 200E2 to the sewing position of the first piece 110 and the second piece 120 is, for example, 1 to 2.5 times that of the first gap G1.

Compared to the foregoing embodiment (in which the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200, the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110, and the end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120 are sewn together with each other), this embodiment (in which the end edge 110E1 of the first piece 110, the end edge 120E1 of the second piece 120, and the second connecting end 200E2 of the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 are not sewn together with each other) allows the pants with the auxiliary supportive-crotch 200 to have the same effects similarly through the definitions of the foregoing embodiment including: (1) a first distance D1 longer than the second distance D2, and (2) a relatively breathable design; therefore, the details will not be described herein again.

The present invention can increase the breathability of pants and provide a comfortable accommodating space for male genitals by controlling the connecting design among the first piece, the second piece, and the auxiliary supportive-crotch and does not require the addition of a scrotum bag as described in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention has lowered manufacturing costs.

In summary, in the present invention, an auxiliary supportive-crotch is configured in the interior of the main body, and the auxiliary supportive-crotch is connected between the inner upper edge of the first piece and the second piece, wherein the connecting location of the second piece sewn together with the auxiliary supportive-crotch is defined as the second connecting region. The auxiliary supportive-crotch can be applied for securing and supporting male genitals. In addition, in the present invention, the distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the first piece along the surface of the main body is greater than the distance from the second connecting region to the upper edge of the second piece along the surface of the main body. Therefore, when the main body expands from the folded status to the wearing status, a suitable accommodating space is formed between the auxiliary supportive-crotch and the first piece. The accommodating space can provide sufficient space for accommodating genitals and also act as a buffer space for male genitals that undergo physiological changes to effectively prevent bulging of the exterior pants.

The auxiliary supportive-crotch of the present invention is, for example, an elastic mesh with multiple breathable holes which can provide overall breathability to male genitals. In addition, in the present invention, a suitable accommodating space is configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch and the first piece for heat dissipation, and at least two breathable portions are provided on two sides of the first piece opposite to the auxiliary supportive-crotch, wherein the breathable portions are similarly configured with multiple breathable holes. Thus, the present invention can provide air convection with the external environment through the breathable holes of the auxiliary supportive-crotch, the accommodating space configured between the auxiliary supportive-crotch and the first piece, and the breathable holes of the breathable portions. Because the pants of the present invention have a design of breathable space communicating with the external environment, the present invention provides overall breathability for genitals.

Furthermore, due to the design of the accommodating space configured between the breathable holes of the first piece and the breathable holes of the auxiliary supportive-crotch, the auxiliary supportive-crotch cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants, and male genitals covered by the auxiliary supportive-crotch further cannot be easily observed from the exterior of the pants. Therefore, the breathable design of the present invention can provide a function of personal privacy. Furthermore, the pants of the present invention can be applied not only in the field of underwear but also to all kinds of pants, such as beach pants, sports pants or the like. Thus, the pants of the present invention further provide overall breathability, securing and supporting effects for genitals, and low manufacturing costs. Also, the pants of the present invention further can provide a sufficient space for accommodating genitals to prevent bulging in the front of the pants due to the physiological changes of male genitals.

Although the invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that modifications to the described embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention will be defined by the attached claims rather than by the above detailed descriptions.
