If you play baseball / softball what is your preference to wear as your base layer under baseball pants?

Jockstrap & Cup then baseball pants

Jockstrap & Cup with compression /slider shorts over then baseball pants

Compression shorts with cup then baseball pants

I don't play baseball / softball

For added comfort and to reduce chafing during sports some Athletes wear a standard Jockstrap first then place their cup and Jock over this for their sport. The extra Jockstrap underneath keeps their junk secure and eliminates the possibility of their junk from sliding out from under their cup. Which way do you gear up?

I wear a Cup Jock only

I wear a Jockstrap first then wear a Cup Jockstrap over it

On standard Jockstraps and Cup Jocks the legstraps tend to only be approx. 7/8" wide. I would prefer a new style jock or cup jock to have:

1" wide leg straps

1 1/2 " wide leg straps

2" wide leg straps

I'm comfortable with the current width of leg straps on Jocks

When laundering your Jocks do you:

Wash then throw them in the dryer

Wash then let them drip dry

Whats your preference when gearing up with a Jock & Cup:

I put the Cup in first then slide the Cup and Jock on

I pull my Cup Jock on then slide the Cup in.

Yes, I've double cupped

No, I've never double cupped

I've read about Major League Baseball Catchers & Hockey Players who double cup but never tried it myself

Might be worth trying If It's comfortable & protective

For Baseball Catchers: Do you find that a Jock Cup or Compression Shorts holds your Cup in place better while playing that position?
