I had a Macho Cup and if freaking sucks. Pay a little more and got an Under Armor and is much better, I recommend.

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

get a kid's size?
get a Nuttybuddy small adult size?

I was mainly asking for experience. No smaller framed/height/stature/whatever guys here? Like 5'5"?

I'm 5'4". Tried Bike, XO, CSI, Shockdoctor and some no-name shit. Shockdoctor steel cup is the best so far, after that, the Bike flex cup. Everything else was so-so. None of it felt too big, just get used to wearing a cup.

Try the Nutty Buddy. They have multiple sizes and I love mine. I wrote a review on it here

You might need "The Hammer" or "The Boss".

I'd give the one that Cageside recommended a go. Boomer (Cageside) knows what he's talking about.

I'm a short guy too, but I don't have a problem with the Shock Doctor cup's fit, so I can't help you out there. Sorry. What Cageside said is right, they only come in two sizes - Teen and Adult. So wheter you buy adult Medium compression shorts or adult XL supporter, the size of the cup is the same. I actually find the SD cup very comfortable because prior to using them I'd only been using steel Thai cups, which are wider with a less tapered shape that doesn't conform to the body as naturally as SD cups, imo.
