compression shorts vs jockstrap?

physicaltherapy · 11-30-2005, 10:11 PM

Hello everyone. I have made past jokes about freeballing it when I grapple. Slapping my balls on people's faces when I go north-south, etc.etc.

Yesterday, after going for a take down, I got severely kneed in the nuts. It was bad....I mean real bad, like my crotch has truned colors bad. Karma is a bitch.

So where am I going with this....I usually don't wear cups because the damn jockstrap is so uncomfortable......

How do compression shorts with a cup compare to a jockstrap?

People with experience please give me feedback.

Wise-asses feel free to crack jokes.

I have used the metal thai cups with the thong like straps and regular jock straps and don't like either of them. I use the compression shorts cup by Shock Dr. They are much more comfy then the other two styles. The metal Thai cup is stronger but I'll take the SD over it.

I carry all three styles and I sell way more SD then the other two.

I have not used compression shorts, but I love my underarmor jock. I can't imagine the shorts being much more comfortable.

I use a XO Pro Cup and Compression shorts...way better than a jock...much more comfortable, and you get some additional coverage and support for those highguard situations!

I use compression shorts that were in the ice hockey section. Anyways, they work well and the nice thing about them is that the cup moves a bit more with your body's movement, so if you're like kneeling on one leg or another the cup shifts a bit with it. Jocks are uncomfortable as hell. I'd say try the compression shorts.

I just use standard old jockstraps. sure they are uncomfortable, but better than a ball-color-changing knee to the going.

edit: i do have the XO cup though, with the soft gel sides. Cant go back to standard platic cups now.

Yeah, I was wondering about the Compression shorts aswell after I got taken down by a guy and his leg managed to ram so hard into my balls...oh it was so painful, I swore at first I thought I would be uni-balled for life as I thought he popped my right testicle lol.

I've heard a couple of people talk about UnderArmour Jocks but I've never seen them. I can't even find them on their site. I must be blind or something. Does anyone have a link to it?
