George Armstrong Custer is known for many things ... including his underwear.

Post #3 at this website says it was patented in 1863

I've never heard of this.

True jockstraps are worn by athletes, what exactly was the purpose of this "device"?

Now I heard it all! So in 150 years some museum (like the NPS) will have Hillary Clintons multiple speed wand vibrator?

In Custer's case it was a supportive device as he may have had a condition with his reproductive organs, possibly a varicocele, which may have caused pain, particularly when riding a horse.

Although the evidence is anecdotal this may have been the reason that Custer and Libby never had children.

Ouch! I feel for anyone with "problems down below" having to ride a horse back then or at anytime.

Th8s whole thread has degenerated!

I thank you for posting it.

Is that the sort of thing you'd order from the back of a magazine or periodical? Like the long ago ads for cloth braces or trusses for hernias."Over the counter" they'd call these days.Or is it some high quality medical device special made by a real doctor,"Prescription".

 

[Cavalier]

It is my impression that Custer contracted gonorrhea that rendered him sterile. Not sure what treatments were given for that particular ailment in those days and have no idea if the jock strap device could somehow be connected to that. Also not sure about how all this would effect his riding abilities but he seems to have been able to work around that if it did.

If memory serves me right, male "trusses" were marketed through mail order and drug store to support hernias/ruptures etc.
