How to protect the family jewels...?

[purplemag]

Ok, of course the easy answer is to wear a cup.
But I find that they feel and are very restrictive. Anyone else know of a protective layer for that area?
I know some would be inclined to laugh at this post, but if you have not taken a shot down there straight on, it is definitely no laughing matter. Will definitely ruin your day and the next few also!!!

Wear several layers or a rubber cup. I use a rubber cup cause it's more moveable but yet strong enough to protect the jewels from small impacts like that of a paintball.

lol, throw a cucumber in there. they protect you and give the GALS writing thier phone numbers for you. it may be uncomfortable but... you will thank me. LOL

Wear a small towel tucked into your waistband/belt. Have it hanging down.

I got a kneepad from some football pad and taped it to a pair of boxers.. Now I just throw them over top of my boxers, and there's my protection.

In a bank safe deposit box?

Dye slider shorts have a foam pad that slides into a pocket right "there". Very comfortable and non-restrictive. I have yet to "test" this feature however and hope I don't ever have to.

Hey,have you thought of having them removed. You'll make it to the 50 faster with out the boys slowing you down and your back players will hear your higher pitched voice

[Konigballer]

just dont protect them, trust your luck and except your fate I've played for eight years now and I've never worn one. My "family jewels" and my neck are the two places I've never been hit, and I've been flat out lit up on a number of occasions.

I guess it pays to have some Irish in your blood

i highly reccomend a soft cup. Honestly, it will promote bounce, but it will not compress enough to do dammage to the jewels.

search on google for em, they are a little hard to find, but they are worth it. they fit into slider shorts, and get rid of that dumb piece of foam, that isnt big enough for the area, nor will it provide much protection from a ball o gelatin going 300fps.

a soft cup flexes enough so that it isnt uncomefortable. look, your eye has the same consistency as your nut, we wear gogles to protect our eyes, so why dont we wear something for out nuts?

how often are your nuts hanging out from behind a bunker though?

My answer to FallNAngel:
Yeah, but when you run up and jump over a bunker to bunker somebody, the "boys" are out in the open. So you could trust your luck (like most people do) or pay $50 for some slider shorts. Either way, your getting screwed.
