Stud Briefs helps improve testicular, scrotal, and testicular vein health. It, therefore, provides benefits for many associated scrotal and testicular diseases. Here is a list of diseases that Stud Briefs can help with:

• Varicocele Treatment
• Hydrocele Reduction
• Male Infertility (Improves: Sperm Count, Morphology, Motility, DNA Fragmentation)
• Testicular Pain and Discomfort
• Testicular Over-Heating
• Scrotal Sagging
• Inflammatory Conditions: E.g., from chemical or physical trauma
• Orchitis, Epididymitis, and other Scrotal/Testicular Infections*
• Post-Varicocelectomy Recovery & Care
• Varicocele Embolization Coils**

*Note: Stud Briefs does not treat infections. It can, however, help with associated pain/discomfort, as well as related swelling.
**Reduces the coils' damage to the testicular veins (this reduces associated pain/discomfort and swelling).

Stud Briefs was designed by 2 male fertility experts: Dr. Spence Pentland and fertility author Daniel Johnson. Stud Briefs uses a patented Crotch Mesh Technology and unique design to provide optimal testicular cooling and scrotal support.

1. Testicular Cooling
2. Scrotal Support

The fact is simply that the modern lifestyle is hot! We need to actively identify more and more ways of keeping our testicles cool and healthy. Many studies indicate that as long as no permanent damage develops, scrotal cooling will restore normal testicular health and function.

Proper scrotal support can be very therapeutic. Scrotal support improves testicular circulation and prevents blood pooling, e.g., from varicocele or during high-intensity activity. It reduces lymphatic pooling and helps treat hydrocele. It further helps reduce inflammation and protect against microtrauma from saddle sports (e.g., biking, horseback riding, sledding, etc.)

The problem is that almost every single underwear out on the market gets scrotal support wrong.

Support + Cooling = Testicular Healing.
Stud Briefs on the other than get all of the benefits of scrotal support, plus cooling. That's why they're healthy and also beneficial for many scrotal diseases.

​​Wear Stud Briefs all day long. The support and cooling will promote testicular health all day long and protect against the day's risk factors.

Optional: You may avoid wearing Stud Briefs for the first hour of the day; however, ensure to wear them for the remainder of the day.

Wear Stud Briefs when you're physically active (gym, biking, walking, running, yoga, weight lifting, sports, etc.), when you're sitting (for work, commute, or at home), and through any other daily activity!

At nighttime, take off Stud Briefs and perform the following exercises while lying on your back:

• Helicopter penis stretch with OK grip (high intensity)
  • Stretch left, right, up, down, and straight out.
• Testicle massage (very light)
• Perineum self-acupressure (medium intensity)

Note: Make sure to perform the above either when lying on your back or in an inversion (e.g., legs up the wall pose). Inversions enhance testicular blood circulation, flush out pooled blood, and bring new healthy, nourishing blood to the testicles.

​A little bit of coconut oil, almond oil, and avocado oil is healthy, anti-inflammatory, and promotes testicular, scrotal, and penile health. Avoid baby oil, Vaseline, and synthetic oils. ​

Note: The above takes about 2-5 minutes.

Stud Briefs are washer and dryer friendly. Wash with cold water and dry on low heat.

​Ideally, if you want maximum lifespan, you would hand-wash and air dry. However, this is not necessary. 

Stud Briefs can provide unmatched support because their design is tight and snug. Don't worry if they feel a little tight on your first wear. They will adjust to your body's shape and feel great after 1-3 wears!

Get your Stud Briefs on making sure your penis is in the front portion of the mesh and your scrotum in the supportive pouch. Then, enjoy and feel the breeze on your balls all day long!

What is the best underwear for testicular health and varicocele? You will be surprised by what you learn.

We will be passing the verdict on the benefits of going commando vs. wearing boxers, briefs, or stud briefs for varicocele and fertility. The court is now in session--all rise!

Look--going commando has its perks. It feels comfortable, cool, and free. It does have benefits in some cases. But, the same things that make it beneficial also make it non-ideal for varicocele. Think of it as a double-edged sword!

Going commando is more comfortable for most people because it's free and allows the scrotum and penis to move unrestricted. Freedom is a great feeling; that's why so many guys love it. All is good here--comfort is good.

In every case, going commando is cooler than wearing some fabric, unless I guess if you have some cooling gadget or ice in your underpants! I don't recommend cooling gadgets or ice underwear--because your testicular temperature naturally fluctuates and needs to self-modulate. Anyhow--all is also good here. Going commando keeps your balls cool, which is benefits varicocele.

The real problem arises because you have no scrotal support. The freedom might sound good, but it's detrimental for varicocele. A lack of support means increased swelling. Varicocele also damages the normal cooling mechanism of the testicles and increases scrotal sagging. So, not having support is the main downfall of going commando.

Some of our clients say that going commando helps them, and others say that they can't go without support. Going commando should be recommended on a person-by-person basis. The fine balancing act is cooling vs. support. Some benefit more from cooling than the negative impact of having no support. For others, the cooling benefits are not even close to being enough to balance out the engorged and irritated veins. So, you have to try it for yourself to find out if it will work for you.

Verdict: 6/10. Going commando may be helpful for some and but is detrimental for others. ​

Briefs are high-risk, high-reward for varicocele. They provide really great support for the scrotum, but at what cost?

It's important to know that every varicocele case is different requires a different treatment. There are two major challenges with varicocele:

1. Varicocele causes scrotal sagging. Acutely, because varicocele is heavy and over-heats the testicles, it causes temporary sagging. Chronically, varicocele stretches and weakens the cremaster muscle (the muscle responsible for pulling up the scrotum) and causes sagging. It both acutely and long-term excessively stretches the cremaster muscle.
2. Varicocele over-heats the testicles. Varicocele is blood pooling in the pampiniform plexus veins of the testicles. These veins are involved in a counter-current heat exchange mechanism that cools the arterial blood entering the testicles. Simply put, they are the primary cooling mechanism of the testicles. Varicocele completely damages this cooling mechanism and therefore causes testicular over-heating.

Briefs are great for protecting against scrotal support, but they trap a lot of heat. Even so-called "cooling briefs" significantly increase testicular temperature.

So, again, we have a balancing act: Temperature vs. support. Are briefs beneficial for varicocele? Again, it all depends on the individual case. If in your case, support is more important than over-heating, then they'll provide you benefits. However, if overheating is the main issue, you need to stay away from briefs.

From a long-term perspective, briefs tend in almost every case to worsen varicocele and increase testicular sensitivity and the risk for infertility.

Verdict: 4.75/10. Briefs may be useful for temporary relief but will almost always worsen varicocele over time.

Stud Briefs have the best of both words:

1. They provide healthy support to protect against scrotal sagging
2. Stud Briefs use a patented design and crotch mesh technology to maximize cooling

You can't get any cooler than Stud Briefs unless you go commando or have an ice pack in your pants or a cooling fan/device in your pants.

Stud Briefs are beneficial for varicocele and testicular health in 4 different ways:

• The patented design pushes the crotch forward and away from the thighs to maximize cooling
• Crotch mesh technology has maximum breathability, higher than any fabric
• Provides support to combat scrotal sagging (which is a real concern)
• Restores the pampiniform plexus cooling mechanism, restoring counter-current-cooling

Verdict: 9.25/10. Stud Briefs are therapeutic for varicocele.
