Diamond MMA Athletic Cup w/ Soft Rim, Shock Absorbent Groin Protector for High Impact Sports, Combat Sports, Baseball, Lacrosse, Football, Hockey, MMA, BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai | Adult & Youth

So far this cup has been amazing during training. Wish the accompanying underwear were a bit cheaper so I can purchase them together but I just got some generic underwear to keep it in place and it’s been working well

This is my review for the Diamond MMA Athletic Cup Groin Protector w/ Soft Rim, which I use together with the Diamond MMA Four-Strap Jock Strap Supporter with Built-in Athletic Cup Pocket for Sports.I use the Diamond MMA Athletic Cup for Krav Maga where we regularly perform martial arts kicks and other stand-up fighting techniques as well as ground fighting.I've done other martial arts in the past without wearing a cup, but I wouldn't go without one the way we train for Krav. If you are working out in Krav Maga with a high level of intensity and a variety of partners, or sparring, you need a cup. There's just too many dynamic movements, or techniques where you target the groin area, to go without. This cup has definitely saved me a number of times.I work hard and I sweat allot. I'll admit when I first got a cup for Krav Maga I was worried it would be uncomfortable, might pinch or cause friction sores, or limit my mobility. I have really been impressed with the Diamond MMA cup. Their system of straps has always held the cup exactly where it needed to be. The way the cup itself is designed the "ergonomic soft elastomer edges" are forgiving (a flexible material that holds its shape well) so that I've never felt the cup cutting into my legs or limiting my mobility. And, when there's been "impact" the cup has been very effective, to the point at times when we are practicing a technique with a groin strike and you'd typically target the leg instead I've just been like "it's ok...I'm wearing a cup...hit me". I'd never offer myself up for a full-power rising front kick to the groin, but the cup has been completely effective for hand strikes or accidental glancing kicks.The cup hasn't effected my range of motion/mobility at all. And it's comfortable. I won't go so far as to say I can forget it's there entirely. I know it's there, but it doesn't restrict my movement and it's not uncomfortable. I frequently work out pretty hard for 2-3 hours and have no issues.I been using this cup for multiple workouts/week for over a year, and besides the little stick-on logo on the front of the cup coming off I can hardly tell it isn't new.I suppose if I were to make one suggestion for improvement, it might be to add some ventilation holes. I'm actually kind of surprised they don't have ventilation holes? Why not? Are they afraid it would effect the structural integrity? Or that it might somehow impact comfort? Coming from someone who works hard and sweats a lot, I do think it could benefit from a little venting.Besides Krav Maga I also play hockey. I have long used Shock Doctor jocks and cups for that. They seem high quality and have always done the job, but it's a different range of motion. I'm glad I went with the Diamond for Krav.When I first went looking for a jock on Amazon there seemed to be a fair number of folks asking about or worried about the size of the cup. The cup, compared to other cups I have used, seems fairly good size in terms of volume.Let's address the elephant in the room...the price. I would not consider the Diamond MMA cup and jock cheap. I was a little skeptical when I bought it, immediately thinking "this cup BETTER BE GOOD for that price". All I can say is, yeah, I feel like it has been that good.

Great, great product, I am well protected, and it's comfortable

much more comfortable than previous cup

It’s a great product but only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it shifts while using it sometimes and you have to adjust while on a round so it doesn’t pinch your junk.

Very comfortable!

I know this is embarrasing to write a review specially when it comes to a crotch protector but however I feel I needed this product. I thought lost one so I had to waste my money to buy another one only to found the one that was lost but then again that is my money and it aint the end of the world. I apologize for going off topic there but I needed a product to protect me from bees landing on my crotch and potentially killing my masculinity if you know what I mean. This product I wear short boxers, tuck this bad boy in underneath and fits pretty well tight enough comfort for my valued parts which they enjoy this very much. This bad boy does the job well and I can finally protect myself from any dangerous bee infested within this city as needed

This cup works very well for my jujitsu training. The outer shell is a softer material, which is nice, and it doesn't dig into the inside of your thighs. Well constructed and recommended.
