It kind of depends. Different men wear jockstraps differently.
Most often, the jockstrap replaces underwear entirely--one option. This is what I'd recommend in general.
If you are wearing a hard cup, e.g. in Baseball, then usually you wear the jock outside your sliding shorts. But a lot of sliding shorts have a cup pouch built in, making a jock unnecessary.
In hockey, if the cup pouch isn't built in, the jock can go outside.
I see no reason to wear a swimming jock if you are wearing racing trunks or jammers, so don't bother wearing a jock in this case.
well the penis should be on either side that is comfortable for u
A cup is made to support and protect a man's testicles and penis. The cup needs to fit tight against his body to work properly. Therefore, a tight-fitting cup-jockstrap (with the cup inside of it) should always be worn when wearing a cup. In addition, tight-fitting support underwear or compression shorts can also be worn over the cup-jockstrap to more firmly hold the cup in place. The cup will protect and support the penis and the testicles and will enhance a man's appearance.
The purpose of a jockstrap is to keep your testicles (balls) from being injured during lots of intense up-and-down motion during athletic activities, e.g. running. You can add a cup to a jock in order to protect your testicles from injury from balls, e.g. when playing baseball. So the purpose of the jockstrap is really to protect your testicles--so your testicles MUST be in the pouch for it to do any good. Your penis thus has to be in the pouch, too, but that's incidental since it is not liable to get injured.
A jock is probably not necessary unless your weightlifting uniform is revealing and you feel like a jock gives you more coverage or holds or penis in place better. (This can be achieved with compression shorts or workout shorts, too.)
A cup is the hard protective cover you wear to protect against impact. A jockstrap can be used to hold the cup in place, or worn to support the genitals during sports.
why do u need a jockstrap
Charles Bennett invented the jockstrap in 1874.
A "penis cup" is worn to protect the penis and the balls or for reasons of "chastity" in some religious beliefs. A "penis cup" is usually referred to as a "cup-protector" or as a "nut-cup". A cup should be worn inside a cup-jockstrap which is similar to a regular jockstrap but is a jockstrap made with a pouch to hold the cup. Some athletic briefs or shorts are made with a pouch to put a cup into. There are different sizes of cups, for youth, teenagers, and adult men. Also, different brands of cups are different in their shape and size. The "traditional" cup is triangular shaped and the "banana" cup is shaped to contour differently to the body. To put a cup on, you insert the cup into the cup-jockstrap or into the briefs or shorts which are made to hold a cup. Then you step into the jockstrap and pull it on, or pull the briefs or shorts on like you do when you put underwear on. The testicles fit into the lower part of the cup. With the triangular shaped cup, you can allow your penis to hang down or you can lift it up and lay it across the inside top part of the cup. With the banana shaped cup, your penis has to be allowed to hang down. To function properly, the cup must fit real tight against your body so that the impact of a blow will be transferred against your body and not against your penis or balls. Some briefs or athletic shorts which are made to hold a cup do not hold the cup tight against the body. To ensure a tight fit, you can wear compression shorts over the cup-jockstrap or over the briefs or shorts.

Answer I'd say it depends on your anatomy and what clothes you prefer to run in. I've never used one, and never been troubled by any discomfort from my genitals. Answer Runners should definitely wear jockstraps. A jockstrap pulls your genitals in against your body so they don't bounce or get sore while you run.
A supporter or jock or jockstrap is put on like underwear, with the pouch covering your genitals.
