Those providing cover for some privates? (1-6)
I believe the answer is:
y-fronts
'those providing cover' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'for some privates?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'for' is 'fro' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for y-fronts that I've seen before include "Style of underpants" , "Men's pants" , "Underwear (of a certain character?)" , "Pants for men" , "briefs" .)
