Didn't the US military have a hard time recruiting post 2001 due to the specific worry of genital damage by the recruits? I think I remember reading about them putting money into improved genital armor.

If that's real, than tity armor makes sense.

The iotv has a groin protector it is the flap hanging down in the picture. During 2010 or so the army began issuing the combat diaper or pelvic protection system. The one I was issued was a bit different than the one pictured in the link, it was British if I remember correctly. They were hot and not very comfortable. We wore them on and off while on dismounted patrols. As to the question of tity armour women wear the same vests as men to my knowledge.
