Benefits

WHAT they actually do.

Benefit 01

They run cooler

Cotton absorbs moisture and holds it against the skin. This knit moves it to the surface, where it evaporates. Independently measured against a cotton control.

Benefit 02

The pouch holds them away

A wider, structured pouch keeps the testicles separated from the thigh and torso instead of pressing them flat against you. Air moves. Contact heat doesn’t transfer. It is also the single thing customers mention most often, unprompted.

−1.3 °C

Benefit 03

Silver blocks radiofrequency

Your phone lives in the pocket closest to them, all day. The knit carries roughly two grams of silver fibre across the pouch, forming a conductive layer. Tested across the bands phones and Wi-Fi actually use.

Benefit 04

Less odour at the end of the day

Silver is naturally antibacterial — it is why it turns up on surgical dressings. Here it is the fabric itself, not a chemical finish that washes out after a season.

“Noticeably less odour”

Benefit 05

They outlast the drawer

Customers who bought at launch are still wearing the same pairs. The shielding is structural, not sprayed on, so it doesn’t fade with washing.

The science

Three measurements, labelled HONESTLY.

Two were done by independent university laboratories. One is ours. We separate them on purpose.

Test 01 · Independent

Radiofrequency shielding

Where

Laboratory for Radiation and Optics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana

Method

Fabric sample measured for transmission attenuation across 2–6 GHz

Result

Up to 99.99% of transmitted RF energy blocked

What it shows

The fabric attenuates RF

What it does not show

A health outcome. This is a materials test.

Test 02 · Independent

Air permeability

Where

Institute for Textile Technology, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, University of Ljubljana

Method

Standardised air permeability testing against a cotton control

Result

Up to 3.4× the air permeability of cotton

What it shows

More air moves through the fabric

Illustration: heat moving away from the pouch of black Majella underwear

Test 03 · Our own

Worn temperature

Who

Us, not a laboratory

Method

One month of paired wear testing during sedentary work. Same person, consecutive days, comparable clothing and weather — Majella one day, cotton the next.

Result

Average daily reduction of 0.4 °C; highest single-day difference 1.3 °C. Spread between individuals and days is wide.

What it is not

A published clinical trial. We are preparing one with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, using thermal imaging, to test temperature reduction under controlled conditions. When it is published we will link it here whatever it says.

The published research we rely on

None of this is ours. It is the literature that explains why testicular temperature is worth measuring at all.

Mieusset et al., 1995 · Zhu et al., 2022 — optimal spermatogenesis occurs roughly 2–6 °C below core body temperature

Gao et al., 2022 · De Toni et al., 2023 — changes in sperm parameters associated with elevated scrotal temperature

What we HAVEN’T PROVEN

That wearing Majella changes anyone’s fertility. Nobody has shown that for any underwear, and we are not going to imply it. The temperature research above is other people’s work on temperature in general — not a study of this product. What we can stand behind is the measurement: cooler, and shielded.

Care

How to WASH them.

  1. 01

    Use a wash bag

    Silver fibre shouldn’t go loose in the drum — it can catch. We include bags with every order of three pairs or more.

  2. 02

    30 °C, no bleach

    Warmer won’t destroy them, but it shortens their life. No fabric softener — it coats the fibre.

  3. 03

    Air dry, don’t iron

    No tumble dryer. They dry faster than cotton anyway.

  4. 04

    That’s it

    The shielding is structural, not a coating. It holds after 250+ washes.

Wear them. If they don’t convince you, send them back and we refund you – worn or not.

ONE THING we should say plainly

Majella is underwear. It is not a medical device and not a treatment. If you and your partner are trying to conceive and it isn’t happening, please see a doctor – that is the single most useful thing you can do, and it isn’t buying underwear.
