THE MOST EMBARASSING SUBJECT: Cups

[The Laxer]

Which cup do you use??

[laxcus27]

I dont wear a caup, i just wear 2 helmets!

[slinkyspine]

I wear the Shock Doc one...so comfy.

[LaxMaxVince]

I dont wear a caup, i just wear 2 helmets!

o nice


the company of mine is called Bike

[The Laxer]

I dont wear a caup, i just wear 2 helmets!
thats odd b/c a helmet didnt fit me last time i checked

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

I use Itech Protective Jock. I should really invest in a goalie cup though.

[LacrsseJsusFrek]

i dunno, some offbrand one, all i know about it is its too small and i need a bigger one before summer league really kicks into gear!!!!

[laxpro]

Bike, but it isn't really good. I might get a Shock Doctor one, I hear they are comfy.

[the next 'one']

lately i havent been wearing mine. i dont know the brand, i think its under armour since it came with the under armour compression shorts i wear.

[HRLAXER]

i have a bike one that came with compression shorts but i dont wear a cup.

[slinkyspine]

LM32.... how I agree... I feel like its made for a 10 year old.


But the Shock Doc one fits okay in compression shorts...its the strap part that hurts. ITs soooo tight on my waist. And I'm not a fat fellah by anymeans

I had the exact same thing. The Shock Doctor compression shorts were waaay to tight in the waist, and too loose in the compression shorts so the cup didn't sit right. And I'm not fat either, I only weigh 140 lbs, and am 5'9. Now I have a Lowry's one I think, it's really really small, and I have to like bend the cup in half to get my boys in there.

But I guess I'd rather be wearing that when I get hit, then not wearing one like I used to.

[cgv1016]

i use the itech hockey one but i should look into another kind because it is hot and uncomfortable for lax.

[MachAttack39]

I use a true-fit

[PBlax]

i Use the Grey gel one i got from Di*ks

Shockdoctor Cups are so ridicioulusly small its sad.

[RockStar]

How is this an embarassing topic? All guys have junk, and many think it's a good idea to protect it!

Seriously, the best ones are the "banana" cups. Narrower profile so you hardly even know they're there.

Bike makes some good supporters for this shape that are almost like a pair of cotton briefs with a pouch in front ( http://www.bikeathletic.com/product.aspx?catId=9 see no. 26 ).

They're snug and fairly comfy, and if you use these, you probably don't even need to wear anything else under your uniform shorts. This is a bonus for those hot days where you're sweating your balls off......no need to be wearing compression shorts in addition to a jock!!

[EastCoastSurf]

shoc doctor, probably the most comfotable cup ive ever worn, except for my hockey goalie cup.

[marflax33]

I usually wear just a regular Bike one for midfield, But now im thinking of taking up some goalie for summer league (less running, good for my healing lungs) so i'll probably be getting a cup a little more protective and shatter-proof.

[i live 4 lax]

i dont see how this is embarassing. i wear some underarmour compressions and a bike XXXL cup. jk i wear a large.

[tiplax]

i use the Bike cup, the white shell with the grey plastic sides, i also use an Under Armor girdle to hold it

[Riot]

I don't wear a cup. There's nothing worse than when it gets out of place, so uncomfortable.

[robi]

Shockdoctor flex cup- I don't find it that comfortable, but it holds up well.

[ekajsk8er]

I don't wear a cup. There's nothing worse than when it gets out of place, so uncomfortable.
I'm pretty sure getting nailed in the balls is worse than having your cup come out of place.

And I have no idea what company mine is, it's like mcdavid or something along those lines.

[Monzo]

I use a true-fit
True-dat. hahaha. Anyway, I normally wear my compression shorts under it, which is extremely comfortable. The compression shorts that I have don't have a cup-holder thing in them.

[D Bay]

Shockdoctor, but I don't often wear it because it pinches a lot (sorry if that's too much detail). I agree with those who say bike sucks, they're terrible and smash up your junk so much. I don't understand why they're like all flat and wide, it chafes the legs and makes what should fit not

[crazydrew86]

i wear an old bike cup. its awesome a tight fit but awesome. i forget im wearing it

[b_cannons_123]

Bike Cup with Under Armour Compression Shorts.

[Riot]

I'm pretty sure getting nailed in the balls is worse than having your cup come out of place.

And I have no idea what company mine is, it's like mcdavid or something along those lines. I'm taking the chance that I don't get nailed in the balls. :(

[boxlax4life]

shock docter with the compression shorts, fits great.

[cougarlax21]

I prefer the Shock Doc cups 'cause they so comfy.

[wolfie8914]

Which cup do you use??


Just to clarify....why are cups the most embarassing subject (in all caps)?

I think we should be able to talk about the thing that protects the goods from hard flying objects with no shame. Blimey.

[Mayhem]

FLEXYYY CUP! they are the best!

[LaxKiller69]

i wear this one

[gigo567]

i wear this one
http://shockdoctor.com/lacrosse/powerLAXmen.html
Same, except it bulges out. Looks kinda weird when you have it on.

[Tex71]

i wear a shockdoctor cup and i think it is more comfortable than my football one that i used to have so i am happy with it

[Emerpus]

Shockdoc Compression shorts for the win :D

[LAX13]

Same i wear shockdoctor compression shorts w/ shock doctor cup i dont even feel it!

[JockRob]

I have 4 hard cups I alternate using. The Yellow Original Banana Cup is by far the most roomiest and comfortable. Never have to worry about chafing or riding up. I also bought the BIKE Proflex which is ok, but the edges are hard and can distract you. The OBC has a foam insert so that if you happened to get knocked in the cup it helps take the sting off.

Really though, this isnt something any guy should be embarrassed about at all. "Cups are made for GUYS". What *is* embarrassing is seeing a teammate get nailed right in the nuts and go down in pain.

I have tried the brief supporters and the compression shorts with cup pockets built in, but I could never get used to them.
The traditional Jock with Cup pouch and straps is the way to go!

Rob =v=

[livinglegend]

i dont wear a cup. i hope i can still have kids when this is all over

[exile lacrosse]

bike. i wouldnt mind trying a shocdoc one cuz ive heard they are comfy. but i dont think any cup is comfy by any means, but ill deal with it so i can have kids one day

[OldGoalie]

I play goalie, so I use the Brian's Pro Goaler jock. The best.

[laxgoaliebm16]

Under Armour strap with shock doc cup its amazing

[MACDADDY]

i have a shock doc large cup. its really weird. its nice when u first put it on but then it hurts.

[laxstarmp]

i have a bike - it's pretty uncomfortable. maybe i'll get a new one one of these days.....

[LVMcNasty06]

shockdoctor

[LaxDaddy17]

Bought my boys XO ProCups 2 years ago. Has flexible silicone sides. They love them. One wears them in baseball slider pants.

[THE WALL #00]

i use a eagle goalie jock. I use it for goalie. I also use it for runner when i get to play out. believe it or not i have never found a players jock that fits even the biggest ones bunch everythin up too much that is why i use it for runner

[zanderaruba]

shock doctor built in with the compression short

[Levin]

Shockdoctor for me... gotta have my junk protected by kevlar

[BSPAHSMID]

i wear this one
http://shockdoctor.com/lacrosse/powerLAXmen.html

same here...whats' embarassing about cups anyway?

what is really embarassing is getting kneed in balls playing hoops and having to be helped off the court --in front of like 1100 people :whyme:

[LilLaxBro]

XXXXXXXXXXL

[bigdawg10]

Baseball helmet. but seriously, i play d, and i dont usualy wear one, because i lost the jock, so i just put it in my UA compression shorts and let my junk hold it their. it wouldnt be a problem, but one pair of comp shorts is larger than the other, so their isnt enough compression and it will trun and twist. and turn upside-down. OUCH

[checklax]

Mines "Pro Cup" by xo athletics.. haha thats the randomest brand...

[goaliebeast00]

I use a true-fit
True fits are the way to go

[Jesse]

I wear the Bike one.
The elastic on it is so bad. They break on all of them.

[Shakerlax8]

i wear my hockey itech jock. its very uncomfortable but atleast ill have kids in the future

[Ghslongpole14]

The DUKE!!! :agree:

[The Laxer]

hock doctor is a little big on me and there is a noticable bulge....i guess as long as it protects the jewels its ok...

[scarsdalelax08]

dont wear one

I HAVE NADS OF STEEL! lol

[shootandfeed]

i wear a soft teeball cup i dont know why

[DutchyLacrosse]

I wear a brandless one and yeah it´s bad.

[LaxDman62]

I wore a jock one game and I hated it. Its so uncomfortable. Compression shorts are much better because they protect your jewels and help you not pull a muscle. They are much better for a running sports like lacrosse. I use compression sliding short because they are easier to find with a cup pocket and the partial thight pads for baseball work good just incase you get hit in the thigh.

[jasonkim]

The shock doctor lacrosse shorts are wayyy too hot, they ahve two layers. I would reccomend either the power hockey lacrosse shorts if you want the extra support/tightness, or the hockey basix cup if you want something less hot.

[mfLax03]

has any one tried that nutty buddy thing?

[mikecoyle]

Which cup do you use??
Mann cup!!

[JaxLaxdefender8]

the nut hut... Warrior's best name for a piece of equipment.

[BwineLAX42]

I use Itech Protective Jock. I should really invest in a goalie cup though.

I though you said Itch :laugh: .

Anyways I have a Bike one that came w/ my bike compression shorts.

[jasonkim]

The new one by warrior? It looks like a of shock doctor. Its like the nut hut or something. And since warriors quality blows on their softgoods (IMO), I would not expect them to last nearly as long or be as good as the shock doctor ones.

[Riot]

I don't need a cup.

[CHSLAX22x]

no cup in football, no cup in lax, the mobility you get from not wearing one is definitly worth it in my oppinion.

[jasonkim]

the shock doctor cup does not restrict mobility one bit. It seriously feels like you have no cup on.

[jesuitlax]

i bought the underarmour regular compression shorts. can i just stick i cup under it or do i need to buy something else to hold it in place, iv never been one to wear a cup but a kid on my team got hit and.....damn...

[cdg9899]

Uh, if you stick the cup under your UA shorts, it's going to rub against bare skin. Not a smart idea. Even if you wear, say, boxerbriefs under the UA shorts, the cup is still doing to slide around. Better to get shorts with a cup insert or just wear a jockstrap/cup combo over the UA shorts.

[SuperSully]

im getting a new shock doctor one... i outgrew my other one, but i played an entire baseball season with it and it was too small... NOT COMFORTABLE

[rjattack19]

thats odd b/c a helmet didnt fit me last time i checked


thats odd cuz last time i checked you were only 15 :rofl: :guns:

[GoBucks]

I LUUUUUUUUVVVVVV Under Armour jock straps. They're so comfy, it feels like it's not even there. I forget what cup I use, it's just one I bought at the store, but it does its duty.

[laxmandudeguy]

The nut hut, its surprizingly comfortable

[shortboy4real]

yup the nut hut has done me good

[sammyduelist]

Bike baby
Its not the best , nor is it the worst
But in the end, when you know your safe, that is all that matters

[laxloser10]

i cant wear i cup because honestly i am yet to find one big enough to fit me
