Mcdavid Adult Performance Hexmesh Supporter with Flex Cup

Like most men, I'm very particular about products used to support my "boys." I've tried several different brands of athletic supporter -- Player's, Shock Doctor, Martin / Pro Down -- and none compare to McDavid. It outperforms the others in several ways:1. Sizing. Many other brands are simply sized too small. For instance, you have to buy a size XXXL (that's not a typo) in Player's brand to match size L in McDavid. Even if you finally find the right size, the other brands use cheap rubber elastic, so the waistband starts to dig into your skin after a few minutes. With McDavid, the waistband doesn't use elastic -- it uses stretchy nylon and spandex. The difference is like night and day.2. Materials. Like I said, the waistband is better quality because of the fabric used, but it doesn't end there. The thigh/butt straps are made of the same material, which is soft compared to other brands. You barely feel that you're wearing it, and it doesn't bunch up or fold over like nearly all other brands I've tried.3. The cup. Other cups I've worn were so uncomfortable, I often wondered if the manufacturers even knew what male genitals look like, or if they ever tested the cups on real people. The McDavid cup is very comfortable in comparison.Now, their marketing will tell you things about "moisture management" and "airflow properties" and such. But when it comes right down to it, the biggest benefit of this product is its use of high quality materials and the ability to get a better, more comfortable fit. Here's the sizing, according to their website: S 28-30, M 30-34, L 34-38, XL 38-42, XXL 42-46. They don't offer size XXL with a cup, but you can find XXL (without a cup) at  McDavid HexMesh Athletic Supporter .

I give this product five stars, but it should be noted that I have nothing to compare it against.I got this after taking several hits to the groin while practicing a new hobby: spinning poi. The practice poi I have been using are essentially just tennis balls attached to the end of bungee cords. While this doesn't usually result in serious welts, even when I've hit myself in the face, it was clear that this wasn't going to be my favorite activity if I didn't have adequate protection.Spinning doesn't require an especially great range of lower-body movement, so I can't comment too much on how restrictive or not this supporter and cup are. I can say that it serves my purposes very well. As I've continued to practice more difficult moves, I've continued to incur the wrath of the tennis balls. But now, instead of crippling pain for several seconds after taking a hit, it's a split-second of surprise from the impact against the cup. I don't know how this cup would fare against anything harder, but it works great against fast-moving tennis balls. It has a good cushion, and fits well with the supporter.I have worn it for several hours at a time when I wasn't actually practicing, and even with the cup in place it has felt pretty unobtrusive.I ordered a size small which coincides with my waist size, and the supporter stays in place without any problems.

I needed a supporter to aid in my fitness and sports requirements. It fits well for size large. The only thing is I need a larger cup for my boys down there. I need more space but this is OK. It has reduced aches throughout workouts from my boys getting banged up. I am looking into buying a larger cup that may fit this. If not, I may have to get a supporter that has larger cup capacity. Not sure if buying a XL supporter will help since its not the waist measurements that is the problem, but the cup itself. However, this product is comfortable almost as if you're not wearing one. The cup in the front is OK. Wish it had more room though. Overall, not too bad if you got smaller boys down there. For me as a tall guy 6'2" I need more room.

This cup has saved my boys a few times. I’m pitcher on softball team, and glad I was wearing.

I do Krav Maga so protection is a must. This was by far the most comfortable supporter of the ones I tried (Shock Doctor, etc). Even after 2 hours of sparring, this is comfortable. The only quibble is that it tends to run a bit small in the pouch.

I bought this jockstrap for gym use without the cup. I can say that this supporter definitely doesn't support anything when used without the cup. It runs very large. A jockstrap is supposed to be tight so it can do its job. The pouch is not very pouch-like. There is no contour to it; it is basically a flat piece of fabric. I have included a picture with a size medium Bike jockstrap that shows the small McDavid has at least 2 more inches in the waistband, as well as much more length in the pouch and straps. That being said, I did test out the cup, and it seems very comfortable, but it's not why I bought this jock.

Loved the supporter and cup that comes with it; but not big on washing every week.This means I can swap out the cup and wash supporters when I get around to it.Pro - one of few that fits my body contour and is comfortable for hours. I've used the cup and supporter for some time and support has been washed many times and elasticity holds up.Con - none so far.

The McDavid supporter has a description stating: "The vast majority of the products are produced in the USA".This is trickery, as this item was produced in Taiwan.Also, the tag normally seen on the outside front of men's supporters is sewn on the outside rear of this one. It looks out of place.Other than that, it is comfortable, and I would have given it a much higher rating if it was made in USA.

Great saw, makes it actually easier to cut along the line since the casing is on the other side compared to a direct drive saw.The weight of the saw makes kickback less of a problem.The only draw back is the fact that it has to be oiled once in a while

Headline says it all. It looked very smart and small, but was bigger than I thought. Good fit. But would maybe buy a smaller next time.

Good quality, and the only cup I have worn that actually covers everything. Here it is next to my cracked and useless shock doctor.

great fit & material, the slightly flexible cup gives comfort during mma related excercises.material is easy to wash and dry

Great jock
