Protecting Your Balls While Playing Ball

Have you ever wondered what those hot college players are wearing under their football pants? Ever noticed that baseball catchers are always grabbing at their crotches? Have those big bulges under a lacrosse team’s shorts ever caught your attention?

Hard Cups, Sports Cups, Protective Cups, Athletic Cups, Nut Cups: Whatever you prefer to call them, since the invention of the first jockstraps over 125 years ago a huge variety of hard cups have been designed to protect men’s nads. And, we can be sure, ancient warriors and athletes had their own devices to keep their “boys” safe and secure. All men know how excruciatingly painful a blow to the groin can be and smart athletes don’t even think about going out onto the playing field without wearing a sports cup.

At International Jock, we’ve always thought that there was something especially sexy about a guy strapping a solid wall of plastic or metal over his masculinity to protect himself against a hardball, hockey puck or football cleat. There’s also something special about wearing a hard cup that makes you feel more masculine, more aggressive, more secure and ready for battle.

In addition to mens briefs and mens boxers, International Jock has always offered the perfect stuff to protect your stuff, photographed on some of the hottest guys anywhere.

They’ve dug into their photo archives and chosen some of their finest photos of guys in their nut cups for your viewing pleasure. We hope you enjoy!
