Shock Doctor Athletic Supporter Jockstrap, For Sports Support, Football, Baseball, Lacrosse & More, Mens

DO YOU NEED to keep your bits tucked in while you're exercising?DO YOU WANT to be able to take brutal blows to your crotch area?OR DO YOU JUST LIKE to look like a member of Spinal Tap when walking through airport security?If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, then the Shock Doctor with cup pocket is the jock for you! (If you don't want to take brutal blows, maybe the one WITHOUT the cup pocket, also available here on Amazon, is a better choice...)In all seriousness though:ABOUT ME:40yo male, hit the gym several times a week trying to lose this middle aged spread. Also avid martial artist training at the dojo for a couple hours 3-4x per week. 2 of those sessions involve contact, so I need the cup.MORE ABOUT ME:I've got large thighs but a small bottom (relatively speaking). This means I have to search far and wide for pants that fit (often settling for a waist size larger than necessary, and enduring baggy butt syndrome) properly. I tend to wear size "L" underwear and deal with the snug leg holes. But I can't fudge things when it comes time for athletic support/protection. I have tried compression shorts - the cup pocket is NEVER in the right place - and athletic briefs (kind of feel weird). I prefer a jock.PROS:1. It fits properly (XL does a great job for me with my weird body shape).2. Keeps the bits protected properly (when combined with a cup, NOT included).3. Nice soft crotch area.4. Protective triangle-shaped cup holder. (I very much prefer the triangular cup, although it was an adjustment at first!)CONS:1. I wore the last one out in about 18 months... so that might be a minor con, but see my above activity statement. We're talking probably 100 washes and 1000 hours of wear... that's not bad.2. It's basic. This is the mid-range jock from Shock Doctor. It's also around 50% of the expense of the pricey one. It is boring and white and has big ol' seams and stitching. If you want to look pretty OUT of your athletic pants, you might want to step up.Overall, I'll keep buying this as long as they keep making it like this!

This runs a little small. Do your sensitive parts a favor and go up a size. It works like a pelican case for your family jewels. Great pelican case for your family jewels!

I use this product with their cup of the same size every time that I train in martial arts. I use the extra large size, which matches my 5'10", 240lb. body pretty well, although sometimes I wish it was a tad larger. If I was any bigger or broader, I would see if they sell a size up. Used with Hanes athletic underwear, you gear will keep safe through hard workouts.

This is my first ever jock strap Also purchased bioflex X large cup, I bought it for 2 reasons. 1) Because I have a GSD puppy who likes to bite, nip and jump at my crotch i've been hurt badly before several times and was unable to walk normal for a few days. 2) to use for mountain biking just in case of an accident.I dont like the wide waist band it almost always folds and creates a turniquet. The straps do twist sometimes and it gets uncomfortable.I like the fabric and fit of the pouch I am above average length for the jewels and there is enough room.

My doctor recommended a jockstrap with cup pocket and this one worked great. Instant ice packs fit perfectly in the cup pocket.

Fist off the fabric is soft and comfortable and that shape of the pouch (with or without the cup) fits very nicely. The waistband is durable with a good and comfortable fit.However, the back straps are not the best elastic. They are a bit loose and leave a bit to be desired as far as keeping the pouch tucked in and close for a better fit. If you use it with a cup it sits in place a little better but the elastic is still not quite what I was hoping for. Also, the seams for the back straps seem a bit weak so DO NOT PUT IN THE WASHER!Defiantly a hand wash only garment and do not put them in the dryer or they will shrink, melt or just fall apart.If you just need something to use for short training session or low stress activates then it should work just fine but I would not expect these to hold up to much stress.

Very comfortable 👍

Very good quality jock strap with cup holder. Buy with confidence. Unfortunately they didn’t have xxL. XL might be a hair small.
