Ok, I'll tell all for the sake of my fellow riders.  I wear...nothing.  Special, that is.  My methodology is one of 'containment', to prevent excess motion and keep 'things' stable.  You could use an athletic supporter, I just use regular low cut men's underwear, not the boxer style, the knit style.  Dennis Summers reported that Carousel has some new men's underwear for riders, I haven't yet tried them, but will, as I will try anything that will result in more comfort, uh, down there.  Even when my horse is a buckin' idiot, the containment afforded by the above underwear has served me quite well.  I ride in lightweight cotton/lycra tights (Carousel and other brands).

My husband just started riding this summer, this question is for the gentlemen.  What kind of support products are out there for protecting and supporting those precious male parts?  Tried to research the archives but couldn't log on this weekend.
