protecting the jewels...

I can totally understand this...for a man to loose his "most important piece" that would be devastating. What about the woman?  We need some serious boob protection...I am thinking something Madonna might have worn in the 80s?  I would totally wear this now, but it needs to be a bit more goth.

The latest piece of high-tech kit due to be issued to all British forces deploying to Helmand already has a nickname. It is known by the troops who have tested it as the "combat codpiece".
The name may be irreverent, but the intention behind the new piece of body armour is deadly serious: to protect soldiers' most important piece of personal kit from blast injuries to the pelvic area caused by the Taliban's roadside bombs.
