Claim:
A male genitalia shower protection garment for protecting the male genitalia, primarily the testicles, from the direct contact of the flow and splashing of water from a shower nozzle and spray, comprising: a support garment having a stretchable waistband to encircle the waist of a wearer; a front panel portion having a top end connected to the waistband by stitching and extending downwardly there from and of a length to cover the genitalia of the wearer; the front panel portion having a bottom edge that is attached to a tubular open ended bottom end portion; the tubular bottom end portion of the front panel portion has a circular outwardly curving open bottom edge; left and right leg bands have one end attached by stitching to a rear side of the tubular bottom end portion and a second end attached by stitching to a rear of the waistband; a solid, rigid, water impermeable cup structured to cover the male genitalia is inserted within the tubular bottom end portion and frictionally held therein; the cup forms a shell about the male genitalia and has a U-shaped outwardly curved open top edge and a U-shaped outwardly curved open bottom edge connected by left and right side edges that lie directly on and touch the skin of the wearer's groin and are formed to follow the angle of the wearer's groin to thereby provide a sealing of the cup along the wearer's groin to thereby prevent water from flowing between the cup and the body of the wearer; the outwardly curved top and bottom edges of the cup thereby providing a flow through tunnel passage so that air circulates about the genitalia of the wearer and so that shower water passes through and flows downward and away from the wearer's genitalia while the curved frontal profile of the cup will prevent the direct contact of the shower spray from hitting against the genitalia of the wearer; and, wherein the tubular bottom end portion of the front portion of the garment frictionally holds the rigid cup therein and securely on the genitalia of the wearer.
