Review on ๐Ÿ’ Ultimate Protection: Shock Doctor Core Loose Hockey Shorts with Pelvic Protector for Women & Girls by Tom Tucker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was hoping for - effective protection in nice comfortable shorts

I ordered these for Krav Maga and found them to be exactly what I was looking for. You work a little tight; I usually wear medium ones and they fit me, but if I had extra pads they wouldn't fit. The elastic is surprisingly wide and comfortable (I'm picky about that) and also snug. They are flattering too. I removed the Velcro on the waist, front and back because I simply wear them as shorts over compression shorts for the benefit of protecting my pelvis. And this protector has been pretty good so far, protecting from both kicks and groin hits. I may order another pair they are so good. A few words about inserting and removing the protector because someone else commented on this in a review. On the side of the body, closer to the shorts themselves, is a Velcro tab. Open it and you can pull out the protection. I was hoping I could wear it when wearing shorts, but I had to take them off to put them on, or at least take them off to do so. But I'm glad the Velcro isn't on the side of the body as that would be uncomfortable. Overall, I'm glad they're designed exactly the way they are. One last thing: I accidentally ran the pelvic protector through the washer and dryer multiple times with no apparent side effects. You probably don't want to do this all the time, but fooling around won't ruin it right away.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
