Cups are mandatory for Baseball, Softball, Hockey, Lacrosse and any other sport where a ball, puck, or stick is used and could come into contact with your balls or penis. Of course, some choose not to wear one, but believe me, when you take a hockey stick in the groin or a line drive to your testicles, you'll regret not wearing one.
I think that soccer is where the biggest debate occurs about using a cup. Some say it's a good idea, but others say that with all the running and other leg action that goes along with soccer, the cup either gets in the way, is uncomfortable, or both. Some say the "soft cups" work well for soccer but of course don't offer as much protection.
Guys do end up in the hospital for testicular injuries suffered while playing sports. The phrase "burst testicle" is not appealing to me!
Some guys prefer to wear a cup in what are thought of as "non-contact" sports too. This may be because a cup supports and holds the vitals differently compared with a regular jockstrap. For some guys, a cup is more comfortable and adds to their physique more compared with a regular jockstrap.
Answer:
I agree with the first answer, except that I don't wear a cup for soccer. I always wore a jockstrap with a cup for baseball and lax, but for soccer I just wear a regular jockstrap. A cup seems like overkill. Like wearing a helmet for soccer! But I do need the support of a jock.
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.
The waistband should rest on your waist and your genitals should be securely tucked into the front pouch on the jockstrap. Slide the cup into the pouch at the front of the jockstrap. The narrower end of the cup should be facing downward, with the wider end up just below the waistband.
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.
Most swimmers just wear Speedo or Speedo-like swimming suits. Some swimmers wear a "swimmers jockstrap" too. A "swimmers jockstrap" has a narrow 1-inch waist-band, which is smaller than the standard 3-inch waist-band of a standard jockstrap. The narrower 1-inch waistband will not reveal the jockstrap as much and the jockstrap waist-band will stay under the swimming suit. However, male swimmers who want to show a bigger "package" may chose to wear a cup-jockstrap under their swimming suit to enhance their masculine appearance. But they don't really need the protection of a cup when they are swimming. So it is all a mater of personal preference.
fighters dont wear jockstraps they use , specialized underwear that protects the "boys" well and keeps errything in place
i am 13 and I play baseball and wear a protective cup. over the years I have been experimenting with different ways to make the cup less visible because it can be embarrassing sometimes. I would suggest first wearing a jockstrap with a cup underneath it and NOT in the pouch. it will still stay in and function properly but not be very visible. the second suggestion is to wear black baseball pants. the darker the less visible it gets. better yet, do both. I wear a jockstrap and black pants and you can`t tell that I am wearing a cup, even when you are close. it is totally normal to wear a jockstrap and it has more comfort and protection. hope this helps!
I wear a jockstrap in bed only because I like to sleep naked but my boyfriend has a habit of kicking in his sleep and he sometimes kicks my ball sack and I donβt half know about itβ so I wear a jockstrap and cup to stop been woke Up in agony when Iβm kicked in balls π€¦ββοΈ
no
men and women
NO.
Baseball is considered a full contact sport. There are many times that you can be hit in the groin. They normally require guys to wear them so they have a higher chance of not getting injured. *** You'd be wise to fit a cup in there somewhere too because foul tips and base runners inevitably make body contact in usually the most sensitive places.
Yes. Yes he does.
