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.
I had my first one when I was 13. My son had his first at 11. In his case, puberty started early, and with that came growth down there of the frank and beans.
He caught a ton of crap for being the only guy to wear one at his age for gym, but by the end of the first half of the year, all but a handful of guys were strapped up for class.
They keep you cooler by not having your butt covered. They don't stretch and chaff your inner thighs like briefs(tighty whities) or some jammers will. They also keep the equipment in the pouch in place to it doesn't bounce around. Overall, for athletics, they are the most comfortable thing a guy can use and wear. If heavier contact sports happen, then you can get a jockstrap with a cup in it. Both my son and myself have Nutty Buddies for times when a cup is needed. These are the most comfortable cups to wear and they WORK! I took a direct hit from a hockey puck and didn't even know I was hit there. I never went down. Thanks Mark, for thinking and designing a cup that is anatomically correct to the male form. These are not the typical, one size fits all adults thing, but the cup itself comes in several sizes and is worn in a different manor than what you would think. All guys, men and boys, should check this site out and get one.
A boy should wear a jockstrap with a cup for sports with direct contact, regardless of age. It's a good idea for boys to start wearing a jock for support (no cup) for running, other non-contact sports sometime before puberty starts.
You should wear a jock strap if you need to be wearing a cup - so for sports where you might get hit. You should also wear a jock strap for support for running, working out, gym class, etc, even if a cup is not required.

How do you show your son to put on a jock cup?
Put the cup in the jock strap and tell him to wear it like underwear...
Does a jock strap count as underwear?
yes in footballNot me.No. Wearing underwear with a jock strap is the same thing as wearing two pairs of underwear at the same time, or like wearing jeans layered over sweatpants...very "Granny".a lot of people wear jock strips cuz wen they play a sport,regular underwear rides up wen u sweat and givs u a wedgie,so it kind of defeats the purposeNo Jock straps are made to replace underwear while playing a sport. Jock straps can also be used as everyday underwear but could cause "jock itch" if you don't shower after using it.

What is a street legal jock strap?
the one you can wear in public
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.
Is it uncomfortable to wear a jock strap?
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.
What do wrestlers wear under a singlet as the privates show a lot?
erm....skin...since that's all you can wear under clothes! If you mean what do they wear under their ring attire, then some wear athletic supports (jockstrap) some wear normal undercrackers and some wear nothing......I'd say the ones that wear the tight leather/pvc shorts probably use a lot of talcum powder tho!
