Perfect For Tough Sports
I've purchased a number of these for use in jujitsu classes. These classes are very physical and your equipment takes a beating in protecting you. The Shock Doctor products fit extremely well and stay in place despite all kinds of grappling, judo throws and exercises including running, jumping jacks and yoga-like stretching.

Shockable Dr.
The Shock Dr. compression shorts could indeed shock due to the built-in design of the cup pocket. It doesn't allow the cup to float deep enough. If the wearer bends over, the fabric doesn't allow movement of the cup; the position of the cup changes to a very uncomfortable one that would cause great pain should it be "forced" to protect the protectables.

Shockable Dr., July 9, 2008
The Shock Dr. compression shorts could indeed shock due to the built-in design of the cup pocket. It doesn't allow the cup to float deep enough. If the wearer bends over, the fabric doesn't allow movement of the cup; the position of the cup changes to a very uncomfortable one that would cause great pain should it be "forced" to protect the protectables. As an umpire, bending over is part of the job; around 250+ times a game. I would like to think comfort and protection were with me during the whole game.

Good on their own, but together, crap, September 3, 2009
The compression shorts are comfortable, fit well, and keep everything together nicely. You know, where it all should be. The cup is solid, but flexible, and breathable. But when you actually put the cup inside the pocket on the compression shorts... you have to wonder what the people at Shock Doctor were thinking.
First of all, the pocket for the cup is OUTSIDE of the compression shorts. So when the cup is inserted, it just kind of floats there above your junk. It's not very snug, not very tight. Lo and behold, the first time I was kicked while wearing the cup/shorts combo, it pinched something fierce and scared me for my future progeny.
There is a quick fix: if you wear the cup in a jock underneath the shorts then all is well. It works quite nicely this way. But that entails buying a jock. Which was not my intention in buying this combo in the first place.

Perfect For Tough Sports, January 18, 2009
I've purchased a number of these for use in jujitsu classes. These classes are very physical and your equipment takes a beating in protecting you. The Shock Doctor products fit extremely well and stay in place despite all kinds of grappling, judo throws and exercises including running, jumping jacks and yoga-like stretching. I would give this a five-star rating if they were just a bit more durable. I do end up purchasing four or more each year but that's largely due to the rigor of the sport and the constant washing. I would highly recommend.

comfortable, effective, few downsides, February 7, 2008
They have a comfortable fit and I like them better than a traditional jock. I use them for martial arts where a cup is a necessity and though I quickly forget I'm even wearing a cup using these, I have been reminded (kicked, crushed in grappling, etc, all unintentionally) several times and this product has proven effective protection.
You could probably use these for other sports just as well, but note that company does offer some similar products with apparent design differences to target specific sports [...].
I initially had trouble finding sizing info but here's a chart I found elsewhere on the web:
S 27 - 29
M 30 - 32
L 33 - 35
XL 36 - 39
2XL 40 - 44
I'm usually between 32 or 33. I decided on the M and it fits well and it should be fine even if I gain a few extra pounds.
After about 4 months of use I have noticed a couple thread unravellings, but easy enough to repair. Also it isn't the quickest thing in the world to get the cup into the short's elastic and velcro pocket, but I guess it's more important that once it is in that it stay in place during use, which it does.

Not good for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, June 2, 2009
Get the Shock Doctor Ultra Supporter instead. These compression shorts push the cup up so that it ends up resting on my groin instead of protecting it. It became such a problem that I just decided to pull the cup out (only had the compression shorts on). However, the shorts for some reason keeps pinching on my groin skin. It makes it very difficult to do arm bars, and even hold half guard. I also have had the Ultra Supporter for the past year which worked excellent. Now I'm sorry I decided to switch to the shorts.

Great protection, excellent comfort., December 29, 2007
The Shock Doctor compression shorts are much more comfortable than a traditional cup and supporter. Makes wearing it for extended times much easier. Highly recommended for athletes!

Great training shorts for martial arts, May 18, 2007
If you are looking for a compression short with a cup, look no further. The Shock Doctor Compression Shorts with the cup is fantastic. I use it in my martial arts classes and give me the compression around my hips, thighs and back for extra support and warmth.
I liked them so much that I bought an extra pair.

Super!, April 22, 2009
I bought these for my son who plays lacrosse and he loves them. He has had Shock Doctor before but these seem to be a little longer in the leg, which he prefers. They are very well made and support it all the right places.

very comfortable!, December 3, 2008
The only cup jock/short I have ever worn that fits well and does not 'crush' you while protecting you. The cup is ok, very similar to Bike brand, etc. Get it if you are in contact sports/judo or jujitsu.

Worthless for MMA, June 18, 2010
I practice boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, therefore I need a cup.
This thing shifts, smashes, and snakes around far too much to be worthwhile. I've had my berries smashed, exposed, and I'm constantly shifting this thing to get comfortable. I'm pretty easy going on my reviews, but I DO NOT recommend this thing.
