in Fitness and Exercise
okay I am looking for some real pros and cons of a jockstrap for use when exercising. I am thinking of getting one but I really would like to know some opinions of it first. Any pros or cons of it would be great. Thanks

    I"ll pass. It may make lifting weight easier (for the bargain price of your dignity), but I'll stick to boxer briefs. Unless you're talking about lifting in only a jockstrap, in which case I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon in even the most progressive gyms.

    Edit- I can't think of any pro's.

    Compression briefs are the way to go.

    Compression briefs for running / rowing. If you need a jock strap for lifting you should probably see a doctor.

    Not a big fan of a JS unless I'm doing something that needs a cup (such as karate sparring). Otherwise compression shorts / bike shorts / thigh length speedo under the looser gear is enough to keep the junk from bouncing around and they wick sweat better than a JS.

    I use compression shorts. No need for anything more restrictive.

    I would also stay away from the JS, but hey, whatever you feel comfortable in.

    I personally don't like long cut boxer briefs/compression shorts that cover up the whole thigh area. The "trunk" style is more comfortable for me (think a shorter legged boxer brief), and less riding up.
