Customer Reviews

Shockable Dr.2
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, crap2
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 Sports4
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.
