FAQs
What sports is this compression short designed for?
This compression short with the Bio-Flex cup is ideal for contact sports such as American football, rugby, baseball, hockey, and martial arts, as well as basketball and other athletic activities where protective support is beneficial.
Does the Bio-Flex cup need to be purchased separately?
No, the Bio-Flex cup is integrated with the shorts via the X-Pocket Cup Retention System and is included with the product.
How do I clean and maintain the compression shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, and do not iron or dry clean.
Is this product suitable for women?
This specific product is designed for men and boys, focusing on male anatomy and protection needs. Shock Doctor offers other protective gear suitable for female athletes.
What is the main benefit of the X-Pocket Cup Retention System?
The X-Pocket system holds the Bio-Flex cup in a more natural position between the legs, ensuring a closer, more comfortable fit and preventing the cup from shifting during activity.
How does the moisture-wicking fabric work?
The antimicrobial polyester fabric is designed to draw sweat away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping to keep you dry and cool.
Can I wear these shorts without the cup?
While the shorts can technically be worn without the cup, they are designed with the integrated cup pocket and retention system for optimal use *with* the cup inserted for protection.
Troubleshooting
Cup feels uncomfortable or shifts during activity.
Ensure the Bio-Flex cup is inserted correctly into the X-Pocket system, with the wider end oriented upwards. Adjust the shorts for a snug waistband fit. The cup's anatomical shape should provide a natural feel once properly seated.
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
Verify you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if available. Ensure the waistband is not rolled or bunched, which can constrict comfort.
Fabric is not wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the shorts are not excessively worn or damaged. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog fabric pores and reduce moisture-wicking properties. Wash with similar technical fabrics.
Seams are causing irritation.
While designed to be chafe-free, if irritation occurs, ensure the shorts are the correct size and not too tight. Double-check that the seams are lying flat against the skin.
