Carbon fiber, D3O and leather – choosing materials based on the sport
Carbon fiber (Shock Doctor SD329, Ultrapro 337): stronger than plastic at a low weight - ideal for advanced practitioners in all martial arts.
Intelli-Shock D3O (Rival RNFL10-360 D3O): superior shock absorption for professional boxers - the material hardens upon impact.
Leather and foam (Rival RNFL10, Cleto Reyes Kidney and Foul): traditional professional materials for high-level boxing.
Microfiber Feather Lite (Rival RNFL100 Professional, 377 g): the lightest professional model in our range.
Size guide for men's groinguards – from boys' XXS to adults' XXL
XPRT Basic men's: available from XXS (boys) to XL in White, and XS to XL in Black—the widest size range in our collection.
Shock Doctor models (SD213, SD329, Core Bioflex, Ultrapro 337): S to XXL—measure your waist circumference for the correct size.
Rival RNFL series (RNFL Pro, RNFL10, RNFL100): S to XL. The RNFL10-360 D3O is available in M and L.

Velcro or laces – closure systems for professional groinguards boxing
Most groin protectors have an elastic band—no fastening required, just pull them on.
For professional kidney and groin protectors for boxing, there are two options.
Velcro (Rival RNFL Pro, RNFL10, RNFL10-360 D3O, Cleto Reyes Kidney and Foul, Winning CPS-500B): quick to put on and take off, easy to fasten yourself.
Laces (Rival RNFL100 Professional, Rival No-Foul Guerrero, Winning CPS-500 Lace-Up): provides the most precise and snug fit—the choice of professional boxers. Requires a second person to fasten.
Maintaining your men’s groinguard – keeping it hygienic and durable
Loose groin protectors (XPRT Basic, Shock Doctor SD213, SD329, Booster G8, Twins Steel G3): easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaning product. Always let them air out after use.
Compression shorts (Shock Doctor Core Bioflex, Ultrapro 337): follow the washing instructions on the label. Wash after every training session.
Professional leather kidney and groin protectors (Rival RNFL10, Cleto Reyes, Rival No-Foul Guerrero): regularly treat with a leather conditioner. Never store them in a closed bag.
Microfiber models (Rival RNFL100 Professional): wipe with a damp cloth and let air out after use.

Why are groinguards for boxing so different from regular jockstraps?
A "standard" cup only protects the groin. A no-foul protector for boxing protects the kidneys, liver, and groin.
In boxing, the chance of taking punches to the liver or kidneys is much greater than in kickboxing. Therefore, extra protection is needed to minimize the risk of injuries and damage.
Is a groinguard mandatory?
Yes, usually.
A groinguard is often mandatory or recommended. For boxing, kickboxing, and karate training, for example, it is recommended. In krav maga and self-defense systems, it is mandatory. The area protected by the groinguard is naturally highly susceptible to injury.
For exams and competitions, a groinguard is always mandatory for both men and women.
Can groinguards and cups be washed?
Yes and no.
This depends on the brand and model. You can almost never wash the cup (the hard part), nor do you need to. Most regular groinguards are worn in a type of sports brief (jockstrap). You can remove the cup and wash the brief.
The larger kidney and groinguards (No-Foul) for boxing can of course not be washed in a washing machine. This actually shouldn’t be necessary. You can simply wipe them down and dry them to keep them fresh.
Of course, you can’t wash the steel cups either. The metal isn’t resistant to this.
What size groinguard should I get?
When choosing the size of groinguards, the waist circumference is the main consideration, rather than the cup size itself. For each groinguard, we have included a unique size chart (in the size selector and below in the product information) for that specific brand and model.
