Quite simply try on a jock. A good fitting jock holds you snugly yet comfortably. At no time should you feel restricted. A:Jockstraps are sized by the waistband. You just have to look at the boxes to see what waist measurements each size fits. You have to check them because they vary from brand to brand. So it's possible that you would need a medium Brand A jockstrap, but a small of Brand B. The pouch size does not differ between the sizes - except that most brands have boys and mens sizes. But all of the mens sizes have exactly the same pouch and all of the boys sizes have the same pouch (which is smaller than the mens pouch).

You wear it the same as your underwear against your bare skin with the cup pocket facing you you can also either wear it by itself or under a pair of underwear?
As an athletic, I have worn a jockstrap while running, Weightlifting, playing Basketball and etc. but I am no expert. I never wear underwear over my jockstrap. The jock gives you much needed support. If you are playing a sport like Baseball or (American) football, I would recommend wearing a cup to protect your "boys". If you are riding a bike, I would recommend wearing a jockstrap with a soft cup.
Jockstraps are sold by waist size and they are also grouped into youth, teen, and adult sizes, relating to the pouch size (or cup size, if it is a jockstrap with a cup) Measure your waist, and get a waist size to fit you. The youth / teen / adult depends on where you are at in puberty. For example, there is a youth size that fits 26 - 32 inches waist, and also an adult size that fits the same. The pouch (or cup) on the youth size is much smaller. On the adult size, it is much larger, since an adult's penis and testicles are larger. If you are unsure of where you are at in puberty, ask a friend or trusted adult.
To find out your size, measure your waist with a tape measure (the fabric like ones, not the hard plastic ones). Usually most jocks will have a indicator on the packaging, whether it is small, medium, large, etc. See if your number corresponds with the number for the jock's size (some jocks run 30-32 = medium).
a jockstrap is a type of underwear that keeps ur goods protected when u play sports. First u open the waistband and shove ur legs in the whole that keeps the pouchin front of ur penis. then move it around to make it comfortable and then put ur cup in the pocket
A jockstrap should fit pretty tightly, in order to support you or hold the cup in place. Nothing should slip or move around. It shouldn't cut in to your body though, and everything needs to be able to fit inside the pouch.
Pull it up and put your penis and testicles in the pouch.
A: Wear it just like you would your underwear. The straps go under your butt and hold the pouch in place.
The only thing around your legs are the straps, which should be pretty snug to keep the pouch in place.
