Ok so I'm going to proboubly play football or maybe baseball next school year and I'm debating on which type of athletic supporter to wear. Should I wear compression shorts or a jockstrap? A couple of my athletic friends have said jockstrap because it's cooler and it offers better protection. What is best for and without a cup in your opinion?

Compression shorts are more comfortable. With or without a cup. But thats just me.

I would suggest a jock strap for things like baseball or football but compression shorts for things like soccer...

Compression shorts are a lot more comfortable and a lot less embarrassing

compression shorts all the way, however they are usually geared more towards soccer. you may wanna wear a jock strap for baseball or football.

I use to play competitive soccer. Compression shorts were the best. there was not need for jockstraps cause we dont where cups. Its something you kinda get use to in soccer. Only when the play is coming at you hard and fast is when you gotta worry about the gonads.

I personally prefer the jock strap. I use it for rugby, holds everything down nicely lol

Compression Shorts may be more comfortable, but believe me, a jockstrap will offer more protection because it holds your cup firmly against the skin, It can absorb the impack which means less pain for your fellas', whereas compression shorts, holds cups loosly allowing them to (If you get hit) slam against the testicles. So I reccommend a Jockstrap, and after a while, You will get used to it, and you wont feel it.
Oh and no H8 because I got those facts straight from an athletic health website.

I play footbal and I threw my jockstrap away after the first practice and went to compression shorts. If you get the good ones they are way cooler and more comfortable. As far as a cup goes I sometimes wear one but only part of the time usually I don't and I have yet to get my balls hurt.

Try both, maybe use the jockstrap in summer and compression shorts in winter when it gets cold.
