jockstrap, it protects and get the job done.
Jockstraps are exposing, uncomfortable, chafe easily, and are otherwise obsolete. Compression shorts (w/ cup for protection) are super comfortable, they don't expose anything, can be worn as regular underwear, and many come with padding for legs. Unlike the nasty jockstrap, compression shorts keep the muscles warm and keep your muscles in place, lowering the chance of injury or sprains greatly.
A jockstrap or compression shorts would be the best, to keep your genitals supported while you run and jump.
There are a ton of great retailers online in which you can purchase running compression shorts. I would use www.finishline.com and www.footlocker.com.
No. Perhaps the jockstrap is too tight. Wearing jockstrap so important that it has to be comfortable and forget the compression shorts. If the 13 yr still is in a youth jock go up a size into the teens and so on if the teen can switch to an adults size even a small might help stay away from the jock briefs or compression shorts just a good old jockstrap.
Probably most male tennis players wear either a jockstrap or some kind of supportive sports undergarment, e.g. compression shorts, jock boxers, athletic briefs, etc.
if your jockstrap/ compression shorts are not helping than you should look at getting another one and ask what would help
Yes, in many cases you can wear compression shorts instead of a jock. But it depends on what it is your doing. Compression shorts do not give much support at all compared to a jock. They don't hold your "equipment" UP.
Compression short can be found at Sams and Costco. If you are like some that love to run then the comfort of compression shorts is important to you and a place like Sams or Costco has the shots best for you.
I wear my jock and cup over my compression shorts. My compression shorts have a contour pouch that keeps my junk contained, so it stays under the cup. The above answer is totally incorrect! You should wear your compression shorts over your cup-jockstrap so that the compression shorts hold your cup tight against your body! If you wear your cup over your compression shorts, your cup might not fit tight to your body and a blow there could just slam the cup against your testicles, causing pain and possible injury. Some cup-jockstraps do not hold the cup firmly in place against the body.
A jockstrap is better in my opinion, but it really depends on what sport you're going to be doing. I like jocks just because there is a lot more freedom and it's cooler. I'm 19, and prefer jocks in almost every sport.
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.)
Compression shorts are everywhere these days, some compression shorts might be great for one, but not so great for the next person. I'm aware that most compression shorts are on sale in the late winter to early summer. It's all about personal preference, I suggest that you go to into the sporting stores such as Under Armour, Nike, SportChek, and such.
fighters dont wear jockstraps they use , specialized underwear that protects the "boys" well and keeps errything in place
