Testicles are unprotected and vulnerable in their placement outside the body (unlike other vital organs, such as women's ovaries) - and also testicles are easily the mostsensitive parts of the body. Therefore, males are advised to wear a groin cup which is formed to cover the genitals to protect them from impact. Groin cups are worn in an athletic supporter made to hold the cup around these sensitive parts.
Women also have something similar now that is sometimes called a groin cup, but because a woman does not have anything to "cup" over, they are more like shields/pads that protect her groin, which is sensitive, but is extremely difficult to injure because it does not have reproductive organs hanging from it.

you put it over your crotch in a supporter.Yes, the best way to protect your testicles is to buy a properly fitting groin cup, placing them into it, and stopping the cup from shifting around by wearing an athletic supporter (jockstrap) over it. Important: If the supporter isn't holding the cup tight against the body during an impact, the cup's edge could trap a testicle and cause a potentially fertility-damaging injury and intense (and embarrassing) pain. Also, make sure the cup you choose is not too big, as it can get in the way of running, and not too small, because then the force of an impact will be transferred directly to the testicles - and you do not want to feel that pain!
