Shock Doctor Athletic Supporter Jockstrap, For Sports Support, Football, Baseball, Lacrosse & More, Mens

These are the best jockstraps for keeping your cup steady during sparring. Snug and comfy.

Been in the market for some new jockstraps for a while, seeing as I've grown out of my old Youpers.I didn't even know Shock Doctor made these in black, so when I saw em, plus they were a few bucks off, I had to get em. Cup pocket is nice, they fit all my cups nicely and comfortably, no gaps for your bits to get caught in and squished.My only issue with it is that, the size I got, XL, is quite small for an XL. I swear they're as tight as my old youpers. I'm hoping that it's just a brand new product and that they just need to be worn in.Aside from that, they're quite comfy, with or without a cup.

Good product, would buy again. In fact - I already did! I bought this as a replacement for the Shock Doctor athletic supporter and cup set I purchased in 2022, as the athletic supporter from that set is just worn out from use. Grateful they sell the supporter without having to buy a cup each time, as who needs that many cups, you know?The fit is good, roomy and the waistband the right size to be secure but not too tight around. The cup fits snugly into the pouch, and everything stays put when in use, if you know what I mean.

My husband needed something with huge comfort for when he got snipped. He said it made a huge difference. Very comfortable, kept him safe, very functional for its purpose. Great durability and the price was perfect.

Okay, just in case you didn't pick it up from the title - this review is from a post-vasectomy perspective, not a sports perspective. Seriously, you want the support from an athletic supporter. Standard briefs or boxer briefs will not be enough. Fair warning, I'm going to use body part terminology below:While I already had a Franklin athletic supporter I had used for sports, I'm really glad I also bought this Shock Doctor to be able to swap out/wash the supporters with ease. The Shock Doctor won hands down on both comfort and frozen pea positioning. Fits as expected with good amount of elastic tension (not too much, not too little) and good, comfortable support whether empty or using the pea method below.A bit of digression: I've confirmed that the classic "frozen peas to keep down pain and swelling after a vasectomy" works well. The classic approach is to wrap a full 1-lb bag of frozen peas in something like a dish towel and apply. However, this typically requires frequent or constant use of one hand to keep it in place. I'd rather be able to type and play video games. I did use the whole bag method once, but the vast majority of my pea cooling was with the below method:Equipment: 1, 16 oz (1 lb, 454g) bag of loose frozen peas. 4 Ziploc style sandwich baggies. 1 athletic supporter (already worn for support). Procedure: Split the peas evenly between the 4 sandwich baggies and put 3 back into the freezer. Take the 4th and slide it into the cup pocket of the athletic supporter, adjusting for maximum scrotal contact. The layer of cloth was enough to prevent direct skin contact. If it's too cold for you, wrap the plastic bag in half a paper towel before slipping it into the cup pocket.By the time this quantity of peas mostly defrosts, you should probably take it out anyway. Be sure to spread out the peas in the bag to minimize clumping, and put the bag back in the freezer. YMMV depending on your freezer, but 4 sandwich bags was plenty for me - by the time I was ready to put the second one back in the freezer, the first had already refrozen.The Franklin supporter allowed for good top and mid-scrotal pea contact, but the Shock Doctor allowed me to wrap frozen peas all the way around the bottom of the scrotum - major plus. Even taking the pea positioning out of the equation, the Franklin just wasn't as comfortable for me - whether staying in place, or walking around.

I have always been in a market for a good guard holder. I play cricket and my waist is 3X. This fits perfectly with an extra large guard in it as well. Worth the money.Good qualityDoesnt rip apart easilyLong lasting

This is a durable supporter. I use it under my competition-style swim suit for daily swim team workouts. With little or no daily rinsing it held it's elasticity for almost two years. Very impressive under these abusive conditions, and fits and performs very well.
