What s a suspensory?
Supensory A suspensory is a garment designed to support the testicles and scrotum in a pouch suspended by a belt or waist band. It was invented in the 1800s primarily for horsemen to help prevent them whacking their balls against their horses saddles. It doesn t provide any support for the penis. While a suspensory may help for a scrotal hernia, it does not provide any relief for an inguinal hernia.
