A man's brief comprising: a) a conventional main body with an upper elastic waist opening, a pair of laterally spaced lower leg openings, and a front including overlapping panels connected to establish offset front openings for conventional access when wearing the brief; and b) an inside support pocket with: i) a lower conformable pouch connected to the inside front of the main body, a) the pouch extending around approximately 180 degrees between opposite sides when viewed from behind to establish an upwardly curved open pouch, b) the pouch having an elastic back edge extending substantially around said 180 degrees to establish a lower elastic perimeter of an opening to the pouch from behind, ii) a pair of flaps extending upwardly from the opposite sides of the pouch, a) the flaps being positionable between (1) a closed position overlapping one another and laying flat against the front panels of the main body generally above the pouch, and (2) an open position separated laterally from one another to open the pouch from above, b) the flaps having inside edges facing each other and extending upwardly from the elastic perimeter of the pouch to establish an upper perimeter of said opening with the flaps in said closed position, and iii) a two-part releasable closure, with complimentary parts connected to each of the flaps, to enable opening and closing the flaps, and thereby opening and closing the pouch for entry from above.
