Briefs for male wearers and method for manufacturing same

A method for manufacturing a brief for a male wearer, the method comprising:

• using a stretchable fabric defining a first leg portion, a second leg portion, and a crotch portion integrally and contiguously extending between the first leg portion and the second leg portion;
• placing the stretchable fabric into a die assembly such that the crotch portion sits between a core and a cavity of the die assembly;
• mating the core with the cavity to cause the core to push a section of the crotch portion into the cavity such that the section is stretched from a non-stretched state to a stretched state with respect to a remaining section of the crotch portion, the section including a synthetic compound;
• applying heat and pressure at the section to cause a volume of the synthetic compound to melt while retaining the section in the stretched state, wherein the heat and the pressure are applied simultaneously for a same period, the same period ranging from 10.05 seconds to 13.03 seconds, a temperature value during an application of the heat being between 330.2 degrees Fahrenheit to 402 degrees Fahrenheit, and a pressure value during an application of the pressure being between 3.899 to 7.024 pounds per square inch (psi);
• and
• cooling the section, while retaining the section in the stretched state, such that a melted volume of the synthetic compound is infused or incorporated into a remainder of the section and solidified therewithin to cause the section to acquire a shape as that acquired in the stretched state and be retained in the shape to form a pouch seamlessly integrated with the remaining section of the crotch portion, the pouch configured to enclose genitals of the male wearer when the brief is worn by the male wearer.
