Shock Doctor Compression Shorts with cup - need help choosing size

Hey, wondering if anyone can help. I know there have been many posts regarding the Shock Doctor compression shorts with cup but I can't seem to find the exact answers I'm looking for.

I'm not sure which size to go for. Also I am from the UK and there are no shops which have medium in stock! only small and large. I measured my waist and it is exactly 29in but I do wear 30in pants. Would the 'small' fit me alright? or would they be too tight? as I have read that the elasticity is quite good on these.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me some advice on this.

Thanks..

Thanks for posting...I dont think they give me a choice on the size of the cup.

So do you think size small would be alright? or would it be too tight with it being compression shorts.

thanks for ur reply, thats what Im worried about... I also dont have much choice over here in UK as they dont stock medium at the moment. All the shops I've called said they are expecting them in approx. a month!!

Anyone out there own a pair size small?

You need a medium. We have those in stock but the shipping overseas will be nearly as much as the product. You can't find anything comparable in the UK?

Thanks for your post brawler..
so are the small like REALLY small then?! hmmm the only other compression shorts with a cup ive seen is the new Jaco guardian which costs more. Although I have just seen a shop online which say they have medium in stock but they are really overpriced compared to other shops.

...btw, nice shop u have there, UK is annoying for this kind of gear because they are so overpriced compared to US.

Hey...I just found out that in the UK inc delivery these shorts would cost just a little less than if I got them from your shop if shipping was nearly as much as the product. Would you be able to tell me exactly how much shipping would cost me? and an estimate of when I could recieve them?

Thanks...

I'm a 35-36 and wear the Large.
I like the fit. If they aren't a little tight they won't work.

I have more or less the same waist dimensions as you and I wear a small. I usually wear between a size 28 - 30 depending on the cut of the pants etc, but you get the idea. I was told to get the small size and they fit great. They are tight, but not uncomfortably so.
