You should wear a jockstrap with a cup for contact sports such as football, Baseball, hockey, etc. But it's important to wear a jockstrap for support for anything involving running, jumping, or twisting - even without direct hits - track, Basketball, soccer, etc.
Guys do still wear jockstraps. Many find them comfortable and enhance their athletics. If you want to wear one then do so. Don't feel guilty, it's just underwear. Answer: I guess for a while guys got away from wearing jockstraps in favor of compression shorts. But I'm hearing they are making a comeback. I know at my HS most guys wear jocks instead of compression shorts. Definitely on sports teams almost everyone wears a jockstrap, or a jock with a cup depending on the sport. A pretty decent number of guys wear them for gym class too. Less than half, but maybe 1/4 to 1/3 depending on the class. But I know its different even at other schools around here. I have friends at other schools who have never seen a jockstrap in the locker room. But they aren't required to shower at their schools either - and they say no one does - and I think that makes the difference. If guys are so afraid of getting naked in front of each other that they would rather stink for the rest of the day, then they probably don't want to change into a jock in front of each other either.
no
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.
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.
Not usually. You just wear gym shorts, or your regular sports pants.
yes, jockstraps help. Some schools require them to be worn in sports and or in gym class
men and women
NO.
It would be a good idea to wear one for working out, running, or phys ed class. You probably wouldn't need one for everyday activities.
Yes. Yes he does.
I wear it inside of my underwear. this gives me more supprot and somewhat comfortable. I just wear the jockstrap. just wear the strap When it is hot in the summertime or in the south it is better to just wear the jockstrap by itself.
Unless perhaps you're coming right to a practice or game from home, it'd make a lot more sense to change into your jockstrap in the locker room. It's nothing to be embarassed about, it's just part of your sports equipment.
Nothing to it....... Jocks can be worn any time you feel like it. Particularly if you are changing in the school gym! It's REAL macho........................not like these baggy bloomers of BOXER SHORTS most boys are made to wear.
