Shock Doctor White Compression Short with Flex Cup Constructed of supportive four way stretch, moisture wicking material with a unique wrap around X Fit(TM) cup retention system. The X FIT(TM) system keeps the cup close to the body and places a padded area around the base for increased comfort and reduced chaffing. The included Flex Cup provides protection with mobility, comfort, and ventilation. Flex Cup offers four layers of protection: the shield, shock absorbers, shock dispersers, and a gel comfort pad.

Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great compression shorts, Decent cup. Comment: I could only give this combo 4 stars because the "Protective Flex Cup" is no comparison for the company's X-Flex cups. Had that cup been included with these compression shorts, it would've been 5 stars with no question.
So, if you pick this up, check out the X-Flex aka Carbon Flex cup up to replace the not-as-nice basic Flex cup included.
Otherwise, it is still better than most other cup/jock combos out there. So if you can't find the other, this will do in a pinch.
As for the compression shorts, due to the "fit" of them with the cup, this is probably best suited for Hockey or Martial Arts, not for something like Baseball. Customer Rating: Summary: Comfortable and effective Comment: I use this item while practicing karate. It protected against an accidentally uncontrolled kicks as it properly diverted the force of impact to less sensitive areas. Definitely recommended when practicing kumite.
The cup is not in the way, even when doing warming up exersizes. When laying on your stomach you can feel it, but it is not getting in the way (even with things like Bhujangasana).
However I was most pleasantly surprised that the smoothness of fabric of the shorts also helps when kicking, not having to go and 'pull up' the trousers by hand to do a high kick.
I took a white one to match the Karate-gi color, although I don't think there is much of a chance to see this through dense fabric of the gi.
