Shock Doctor Unisex 244 Core Supporter with Cup Pocket

I bought this as replacement for the original which lasted years. However the quality seems to have dropped dramatically and it actually ripped after just a month so had to stitch it up. Shockdoctor used to be know for high quality but now I'm not so sure.

This ad is extremely misleading. The "Shock Doctor Unisex-Adult Core Supporter with Cup PocketCore Supporter with Cup Pocket" does NOT actually come with a cup at all! Both the name and especially the pictures on this ad showing that it comes with a cup and even a chart that shows what size of cup it comes with are all very misleading and nowhere on the ad does it say that it does not come with a cup. It's also the same price as all of the other athletic support cups on Amazon that do come with a cup. The least the advertiser can do is specifically state that it does NOT come with a cup.

Super comfortable. Really happy with the cup version and this is similar. It is a pretty snug fit and not exactly as their sizing chart so consider buying the next size up

I tried every cup I own and not a single one could make this thing comfortable. Not sure who they tried this one but the pocket to waist size ratio is terrible.

Bought this because I am no longer 18 and my body no longer forgives mistakes. I train Muay Thai. If you know, you know. One lazy check or one mistimed knee and your entire existence comes into question. After enough near death experiences in the gym, I accepted reality and bought this. It does its job quietly and without drama. It stays where it is supposed to stay. It does not bunch, shift, or betray you when things get chaotic. I can kick, clinch, and move without constantly adjusting or thinking about it, which is exactly what you want from something protecting critical infrastructure. Comfortable enough to forget it is there. Supportive enough that when something goes wrong, it is not catastrophic. That balance matters. This is not optional gear if you train Muay Thai, MMA, or anything involving knees, shins, or bad timing. Buy it now or learn the hard way.

As a mom, my heart nearly stopped when a bad shot at lacrosse practice sent us rushing to the ER. My 15-year-old son always complained about how uncomfortable athletic cups were until that day. Now, he won't step onto the field without his Shock Doctor Athletic Supporter. It's his favorite by far, and he's learned his lesson the hard way about protecting his assets. I recommend pairing this with a pair of compression shorts for a fit that's snug and doesn't shift, no matter the hustle. For all the sports moms out there, this is a must-have to keep your young athletes safe and focused on the game, not on the discomfort. Trust me, it's worth every penny for the peace of mind! #SaveTheTesticles
