Title: Wearing a cup while racing?
Post by: eightonezero on April 16, 2008, 10:53:22 PM
Any of you guys wear a cup while racing? I've smacked my boys hard a few times (near highsides) and almost had to stop in the middle of the race.  I just got a sperm test done and I have 46.8million sperm per ML  :biggrin:   I'd like to keep that number up

I bought some under armour with a built in cup, but its really big. I don't think it will fit under my suit. It looks like a turtle is permanently fixed on my crotch.  I would have tried my suit on, but Alexa has it

My friend used one until one his boys got loose and was smashed between the cup and him. That thing swelled up to the size of a grapefruit. The Dr. was using the same machine on it as if he was looking for a bady in there.

have you ever worn/used a cup?  They dig in and hurt.  And hunched down on a bike, it would hurt like shit IMHO...

And BTW, kudos for coming to grips with being hung like a hamster:

I use tighty whiteys and shorts under my leathers to help keep things where they belong.   8)

I'm with the non-cup wearing crew but I did talk to a Doctor about it racing and he thought it would be a good idea to at the very least empty your bladder before you race or go out on the track. Bladder are apparently very fragile when blunt trauma is applied and it can cause lots of infection in your body for even an apparent easy get-off.
