How do you know what size you wear in jockstraps?

Answer 1

This all depends upon your age and maturity. Some men mature faster than others, so the size selection will always be an "individual" preference based on comfort and ease of use. Maybe start out with a medium size and go from there. *** Or you could just check your waist size and look at the size chart on the box. That will tell you which size to get. After all, the only difference in jockstrap sizes is the waistband. They are not like Bras, where they come in different cup sizes. The pouch is exactly the same size on all adult straps (of the same brand) whether they are small, medium, large, or whatever. The only time there are differnent size pouches is between adult and child sizes. And there are some companies that have come out with teen sizes that are between the child and adult sizes. But the pouches within each of those groups is ALWAYS the same regardless of the waist size. If you compare jockstraps from different companies you might see a difference in their pouches, but i don't know how much of a difference that would be.

Jockstraps are sold based on waist measurement, so if your waist is, say, 30 inches, buy a size 30 jockstrap. Jocks are often sold simply as small, medium, and large--this refers to your waist.

The actual pouch doesn't really vary much since the pouch is made of very stretchy, flexible material. That said, different brands are cut or designed differently, so you might try different brands to find one that's comfortable for you.

Answer 3

It's a bit of joke with the lady clerks in sports shops.

Guys come in to buy a jockstrap or protective cup and opt for the large or extra large figuring the size relates to the "equipment" holding capacity. It actually refers to the waist size.

Buy the same size as you would underwear.
