Does Your Son Need a Jockstrap or Jock Shorts For Sports?

Yes, if your child is participating in contact sports that require a protective cup, you will need to get a jockstrap or pair of jock shorts as well. We covered the necessity of youth groin cups elsewhere, but in short, young baseball players and hockey players should start wearing a cup between the ages of five and seven.

NutShellz® compression jock shorts have the benefit of a built-in jockstrap, so your child won’t have to deal with the discomfort or potential rash associated with a traditional jockstrap. Our groin cups are engineered for comfort and to fit perfectly inside our own compression shorts.

Our youth hockey jocks include velcro for easy attachment to hockey socks. And our other compression jock shorts are popular among young baseball players.

Get Your Child the Best Cup Possible

There’s no reason to cut corners when purchasing a cup for the young athlete in your family. Many mass-produced cups are made with cheap plastic, don’t fit well, and leave your child at risk of injury.

NutShellz® cups are made with ballistic-tested materials, and they have a comfortable and safe ergonomic fit. Buy cups and jocks separately or bundle them together.
