Codpiece

Codpieces were a type of front-cover for the breeches of human or humanoid males, allowing them to maintain public decency by covering their private parts.

Description
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue was known to sell linen and velvet codpieces in the form of both a flat cover or a bag, with the velvet variants being more expensive. They also offered them with optional gold ornamentation and gem encrustion.

Some codpieces had a clip-fitted interior vial for holding various potions or alcohol. Mulgur Wottyn of Waterdeep was known to sell these.

Reputation
In Faerûn, codpieces were considered an essential article of clothing for any well-dressed man, at least according to Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.

Notable Wearers

 * There was a standard-issue codpiece among members of the Purple Dragons. King Azoun IV was one of many people known to wear these.

Trivia
In Menzoberranzan's Eastmyr district, there was a festhall named the Mithral Codpiece.

A slang term for a lecher in Common was a "codloose winker".
