Why is everyone wearing jockstraps instead of compression shorts anymore?
John M asked:
I went to the sports store the other day looking for compression shorts and couldn’t find any. I asked a sales guy and he said they only carried “sliding shorts” and thats for baseball and more guys buy jocks instead of compression shorts anymore. He said that compression shorts are kind of over with. I went to the gym that weekend and all the guys from 15-40 were wearing jocks when i walked into the locker room. Does anyone over 14 wear compression shorts anymore, or are they gone? And if they still sell them where in the heck do i get them?

Yeah i’ve noticed that too. I kinda get the feeling that compression shorts are kinda viewed as things to wear over jockstraps. I’m in HS and thats what most people do. I think most guys would agree jockstraps are something every man should have.
Probably wanting to protect their valueables a bit more, I guess. I dont even bother with them, Jocks all the way.
Modell’s.
Compression shorts help to prevent hamstring pulls. They do not duplicate the function of a jockstrap.
Any store that carries UnderArmour can provide compression shorts.
