Pelvic protector

Pelvic protector

The pelvic protector is the female equivalent to the male jockstrap. It is designed to protect the female genitals (vulva, clitoris, etc.) It is also occasionally nicknamed a jill or jillstrap. Women wear the garment during contact sports or activities. The garment "cups" around the genitals and is usually reinforced with rigid material.
