In those days, jockstraps were not out on the shelf where you could look at them and make your own selection. And you could only buy them at sporting goods stores. They were kept behind the counter and you had to ask for them.The coach was kind enough to explain that when the guy (no women working there) asked what size, he was asking about your waist size.
I remember those days. I wonder how jock straps are displayed nowadays... on mannequins? In a way, it would be on a par with mannequins displaying bras and panties.
IIRC, those jock straps we got in high school were issued to us along with our gym shorts, and had the same sizes as the shorts. It was up to us to take them home and get them washed. After gym class, we showered together, and I don't remember any of us well enough endowed to have a problem with the size of the pocket.
I'm not sure if a comeback is in progress. I've noticed other men in jocks at the gym or steam bath. But definitely not the younger guys, many of whom are paranoid of being seen naked by others in the locker room. As other posts have said, my first experience wearing one was in 7th grade PE. Felt awkward at first, but after a month or so became accustemed to it and was just like everybody else wearing one. Does anyone remember wearing a swimmer style at the beach?

Yes. Love that narrow waistband.

I believe they're just on the shelf (in boxes). Often hanging from those rods.
Of course, if they displayed them on mannequins, they'd have to cover up the butts -- OMG! I saw a mannequin butt. What shall I do? What shall I do?

Issued to you? And the shorts as well. We had to go buy ours. But swimsuits were handed out for each use -- you just told the man in the towel cage what size you needed.
So, for swimming, we stripped down at our lockers, then went and took showers. After that, we walked naked to the towel cage -- which was right there. Got a swimsuit, moved away from the towel cage, put the swimsuit on, and walked out to the pool. The pool was outside.
Being nude was a non-issue and a non-event.
Hated them in my younger years in Jr and Sr High, I have now found to enjoy the straps that OLD SHOOL but a modern fit. SKYSPERS on Amazon are just pure heaven to wear in the hot SC Summers. CHEAP too! They shortened the length of the pouch, so all the pouch stays in front of you yet allows your genital to hang naturally, no push up MAN-BOY kink fit and not gathering between your legs like the old BIKEs did. Never thot I'd own Straps and enjoy them! OMTEX is another line that are really comfortable as well and very reasonable.
It is too bad the KINKs have given Straps a bad name as sex-wear. I still were a strap when I work out but bot the looks you get wearing one in the locker rooms these days! HOOOT!

If you have to wear a jock, it might as well look good and feel good, but I prefer not to wear one at all.
