Cup/groin guard suggestions

[naqis]

I need a new cup for BJJ, any suggestions on types and on line stores? Flame away if you must, but I'd appreciate some actual advice. Thanks.

i love my xoprocup, im generally picky about things and this cup was my first and will be my last cup i buy. for like 15 bucks or whatever its worth its great.

IMO the cup isnt as important as the jock. Any cup should do the job for grappling but i feel that the reagular jock straps on top of compression shorts or underwear give the best support.

I don't use a cup when I wrestle, is it really needed for bjj?

I get heeled in the balls almost every time somebody is trying to get hooks in on me. And when they try to get the knee in to keep me from closing my guard after it's opened my nuts always get grinded by their shin. Those two are pretty much the only time I get hit in the sack but man it's so painful I don't even care... I wear a cup every time anyway.

How about a thai cup? I'm thinking about getting one for sparring anyway, you can't beat the protection it offers.

For what it's worth, I use the Shock Doctor Compression shorts/cup and love them

I always wear a cup..nothing like going for the mount and catching a knee or shin to make you wish you had worn one.

I just went to walmart and got the Duke jock shorts/cup combo. Works great.

yes, because getting knee cut passed hurts without!!!
