I have encouraged my boys to wear them for comfort, breathability, and character starting around 8-10 years old. Most middle school boys harass boys in the locker room who do not wear boxers or boxer briefs. My 10 and 13 year old were no exception, but they actually took pride in being obstinate by not just going along with the crowd. For a little while they were embarassed, for the other kids told the girls. They got over it by being very forward with it. I think that wearing them through formative years builds character.

It is pretty difficult to find a boys size in the store. Walmart carries Franklin, but the pouch is way too small and tight. I did not buy one of these for my sons, for then they would dislike all jocks. Bike and Duke jocks are the most comfortable by far. No cups. Cups are terribly uncomfortable. Go to sportskids.com. They have them in 2 packs and by the dozen. Get a size up and make sure they have several to wear. Mine have about 20 boxers and briefs plus about 14 jocks each to wear throughout the week for xc, Wrestling, track, and soccer. Our kids are involved in a bunch of sports so jocks are regular and ordinary underwear. So long as they are wearing a SIZE UP, then they will prefer them under a pair of shorts or compression shorts.
At a minimum, a boy should start wearing a jockstrap once they begin puberty, since their genitals will be growing and need more support. But boys should wear a jock and cup any time they play a sport where they might get hit, regardless of age.

Do you wear underwear over jockstrap?

Not usually. Usually when you have a jock on, you don't wear anything else with it, just your athletic gear on top of it. However, if you are wearing compression shorts, sliding shorts, hockey shorts, etc., you should wear those over the jock. Some people (inexplicably) wear a jock under a swimsuit, too. If you're wearing the jock for running or track, you just wear your normal shorts over the jock, no underwear. You can wear a lot of modern underwear (briefs, gripper jams, etc.) INSTEAD of a jock, particularly if the underwear fits closely and is supportive.


Do you wear a supporter and cup over or under your underwear?

Different men wear it differently. Oftentimes the jock/cup replace the underwear entirely. Otherwise the jock would typically go outside underwear, sliding shorts, etc.

It's a little bit uncomfortable at first to wear a jock strap, especially if you're not used to it. But it feels better to have good support when you run, and to not worry about getting hit down there.

erm....skin...since that's all you can wear under clothes!
