As a baseball player in HS - College etc I have worn jocks and cups for many years - so a jock with cup optional I was a bit put off, since most that use a cup need the cup to stretch the pouch to get the pouch for your support. This jock is GREAT, it feels good, provides support and provides the coverage you looking for without slip and sliding out the sides. The jock fits as it should - the waistband is comfy and secure; the straps are soft a bit thinner than most I have worn. Guys if you looking for a jockstrap to do what you need. This is the one. I've worn it for about 7 days at the gym. I already purchased a second one.
