I am in Krav Maga and we do a lot strikes to the groin, so even for women having a female groin protector is recommended. I did not like this product. The biggest problem was that it chaffed against my inner thighs like crazy because it is so thick. And I don't have big thighs. The whole time I was wearing these it felt like I had a chastity belt on or something.

Also, the abdomen protector on it is so high up that it was very difficult to do ground defenses or even perform sit ups! Every time I bent over or tried to sit up, the edge of the protector would dig into my stomach and cause some breathing discomfort. This would be a perfect ancient Medieval torture device.

I gave it 3 stars because 1) it arrived quickly, 2) it does protect the groin very well although the way this thing feels it could protect you from bullets, swords or rape, and 3) I think this protector would work better on women who are 5'6 and above. Maybe a longer torso would feel better.

I purchased this as protection for a martial arts class I am taking. I carefully measured myself prior to buying it and bought it because of the sizing chart. Well, don't measure your waist - measure your hips. I have a relatively average torso and the "waist band" does not go up to the waist on this groin protector. It fits around the hip, which at least on me is several inches wider than my waist. Other than the sizing issue, it fits comfortably and appears to add the protection needed. I have not used it yet in class, though, so I don't know how well it actually will protect if I receive a blow to the groin.
