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

As the title suggests, this is one of the best cups of the market. I have had numerous cups including the Shock Doctor Compression shorts with a slide able cup pocket, the venum jock strap and cup, the lobloo, and many more. This product ranks as one of the best. For a cheap price, it pairs very well with the shock doctor carbon fiber cup. Best when worn on skin, and doesnt move at all and is surprisingly comfortable. Would buy again.

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.

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!

Sizing is wrong. If you're a Medium, buy a Large.

excelente producto me encanto

Various makers of some supporters tend not to pay too much attention to the ways that a particular part of the supporter is made. It’s where the actual support part (going behind) connects to the leg bands. On this supporter this connection is perfect. Very comfortable and not distracting. I’ve an extra large waist and am average and the extra large fits me very well. The pouch provides enough support without binding or being too loose. The price is unbeatable.

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.

I have a size 29 waist and I bought "Small". It fits snug, but that's perfect for me. Sizing on these Vietnam or China - made items always tricky so this is a community service FYI.

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.

Used these products for years and this is a replacement and the original in the kit bag as a spare. Got his a few times and it did it’s job

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