Cups for SHORTER dudes? 5'5" approx.

I'm 5'5" and doing BJJ.

I bought a ShockDoctor cup and cup holder. I think the Small size was a little too wide and felt uncomfortable, although, I don't know how the cup should exactly feel...

The bulge was pretty excessive. Standing up with any shorts on, the bulge was bulging. Is that normal?

Does anyone have any advice to offer? Do I need to go with Teen Large?

For the record, Im 20 and my waist is 29-30ish.

Thanks

The Shock Doc cups are pretty much one size fits all.

If you've never worn a cup before it may take a while to get used to it.

I suggest wearing it around the house for a while and you'll get used to the feel.

If you really don't like it - check this cup out: CSI Banana Cup

It's the cup that I primarily use. A small would fit you well.

Good luck.

Are you a smaller sized dude, yourself (height-wise)?

I mean stature-wise, not package-wise.

Projection is a bitch.

Wide cups are really uncomfortble. BIKE makes the thinner cups that you probably want.

Not sure that counts as small - you might need one custom made to fit that thing

Damn I thought I was just big. ;)

I have a bike cup and I feel it kind of pinches my package. I'll try out a shock doctor cup.
