Shock Doctor Athletic Supporter with Cup Pocket, Jock Strap Protection, (Cup Not Included)

My son in 10U baseball switched from wearing a cup in protective shorts to this jockstrap and noticed a difference right away, in a good way. He’s usually wears a YM and he says this fits way better and is a lot more comfortable than the old shorts he wore. He really puts it to the test too, since he plays catcher, pitcher, and utility. He catches a lot, basically any game he’s not pitching, so there’s plenty of squatting, running, and sliding. When he’s squatting as a catcher, this jockstrap keeps the cup exactly where it’s supposed to be and doesn’t let the cup point up and out. That matters, because it helps avoid that lovely little window where a bad bounce could come up and nail him right in the jiblets. Even when he is pitching and swinging his legs all around, he says this is way more comfortable and keeps everything secure and in place no matter where he’s playing. He’s used it through 30+ practices and games so far, and it’s holding up nicely. He’s had absolutely zero complaints. It’s also easy to put the cup in and take it out, and easy to machine wash.

Bought these for my sons (age 13 and 8) for baseball and by far these are the best we’ve used. Initially we tried the boxer brief type shorts with pocket for the cup, and then the jock strap with cup built in (non-removable). The shorts with cup pockets are useless as the cup just floats around suspended in air in that general region and ends up hurting their thighs when running, or pinching their goods. The jock strap with non removable cup is okay, but wears out the fabric around the edges of the cup really quickly and the cup size is set based on the waist size. My 13 year old size men’s large son doesn’t need a men’s large cup... These jock straps stay in place extremely well and hold the cup right where it needs to be with no discomfort (my 8 year old has even slept in his...) and we love the pocket allowing for the cup to be moved from one strap to the next during busy weeks, and allowing us to choose the cup size. The waist bands are quite snug, so if you are between sizes you probably want to go with the size up. We have 4 of these and will definitely be back for more.

Bought this because I am no longer 18 and my body no longer forgives mistakes. I train Muay Thai. If you know, you know. One lazy check or one mistimed knee and your entire existence comes into question. After enough near death experiences in the gym, I accepted reality and bought this. It does its job quietly and without drama. It stays where it is supposed to stay. It does not bunch, shift, or betray you when things get chaotic. I can kick, clinch, and move without constantly adjusting or thinking about it, which is exactly what you want from something protecting critical infrastructure. Comfortable enough to forget it is there. Supportive enough that when something goes wrong, it is not catastrophic. That balance matters. This is not optional gear if you train Muay Thai, MMA, or anything involving knees, shins, or bad timing. Buy it now or learn the hard way.

Order at least 2 sizes up. I ordered an XL and will be buying a second in at least a 2XL, because the straps dig into my hips very tightly. BUT--great support, and the pocket is perfect for a packer if you're trans masc. No more dick falling on the bathroom floor when I pull my pants down. Will also be great for swimming!

does the job

My son says this fits good and stays in place while he is catching. My only issue is that it is not very clear on sizing, so just for those like me that didn't know what size to order: they are sized like pants. My son wears size 10/12 or YL pants, so I got a large and it was the correct size, so order the size pants your son wears.

Hey Fellow Amazonians! Uhhhg! I like older Shock Doctor stuff and hoped these would be comparable. They somewhat are but, leave a lot to be desired. The cup pocket has no clasping mechanism. It causes the cup to rise and you end up with the top of your cup poking out of the cover. That causes the bottom, where the two straps connect, to have a gap of about 1-1.5 Inches. The gap negates the leg straps from working which causes the cup to rise about 1-1.5 inches. Add to that, the straps are TOO LONG, your cup rises further. The side-to-side movement is manageable due to the thicker waistband. If this jockstrap had a velcro clasp holding the cup pocket closed, I think it would be much better. Also, don't try to use this jockstrap without the cup. It's utterly worthless and doesn't cover or support the "goods".

Most comfortable

It holds the cup. It's comfortable. It works. Not much else needs to be said.

Despite the fact that I purchased the correct size, the size of the cup is slightly small. It is not comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Gute Passform, aber für Handballtorhüter nicht unbedingt empfehlenswert da die Gummis sehr schnell reißen. Ansonsten guter Schutz.

Esta comodo d buena calidad solo me mandaron l en lugar de m pero me funciono bien

Super comfortable. Really happy with the cup version and this is similar. It is a pretty snug fit and not exactly as their sizing chart so consider buying the next size up
