I picked this up for my Muay Thai class. It’s obviously not as comfortable as not wearing a cup, but I forget it’s there pretty quickly after a couple minutes.
It doesn’t interfere with any of my kicks and knees, and doesn’t travel out of place. My last cup was old school, this is definitely an improvement on that, padding on the cup is definitely an upgrade from the old style. Stays where you want it and it easily separates so you can wash the strap or cup.
Depending on how aggressive your training schedule is it would be super easy to get a second strap so you could wash the straps at the end of the week and just transfer the cup since it’s plastic and washes/dries fast.
Like I said I haven’t tried any of the newer styles of cups, but I know this one works for martial arts. I read the reviews on the other style I saw tons of sellers advertising with the compression shorts and then you just slip the cup inside that, they had a really high star rating, but when I looked at the lower star ratings it was a lot of times people in martial arts saying they didn’t work for them. Maybe they would be good for baseball or something, but I needed a protector for fighting, too many people complained with the compression shorts style that it would move when you threw a big hip opening kick( like a higher roundhouse kick), or when grappling/rolling. I saw multiple reviews saying that the compression shorts style would move and sit on top of the grapes making it even scarier to catch a kick then not even having protection. This strap style I got just over the top of my boxer briefs and under my shorts stays put, let’s you throw strikes the same way you would without it and it definitely feels solid enough to do it’s job.
Hope this helps someone in deciding what product they should get.
