A groin protector (also called a foul-proof cup or abdominal guard) protects the groin, lower abdomen and hips from low blows. If you spar, it is not optional.
How a boxing groin guard should fit
- The top edge should sit around or just above the navel.
- The guard should cover the hip bones without digging into your thighs when you move.
- It should stay in place when you bend, pivot and throw body shots.
Choosing your size
Use your waist measurement and the size guide on each product page. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one and tighten the straps for a secure fit.
Lace-up or hook-and-loop?
Lace-up guards offer an adjustable, snug fit. Hook-and-loop closures are faster to put on alone. Both protect equally when fitted correctly.
Wear it over or under shorts?
Most boxers wear the guard over compression shorts and under their trunks. This keeps it stable and comfortable through long rounds.
