Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wear a groin cup — do I need a jockstrap or compression shorts?

The RDX 1R is designed to fit into the cup pocket of a compression short or jockstrap. Most dedicated boxing/MMA shorts do not have a cup pocket, so you will wear compression shorts or a jockstrap underneath and place the cup inside. Always ensure the cup is positioned correctly before training — it should sit centred over the groin without shifting during movement.

Is a groin cup required for boxing or MMA training?

For sparring and competition, groin protection is mandatory in virtually all sanctioned boxing and MMA events. For general pad work and bag training, it is highly recommended as accidental impacts occur even in non-contact drills. Most gyms require groin cups for any contact training as a standard safety rule.

How do I clean a groin cup?

Wipe the polycarbonate shell with a damp cloth and mild antibacterial soap after each session. Allow to air dry fully before storing. If the gel lining is removable, follow the specific care instructions included. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the polycarbonate or gel materials.

What size groin cup do I need?

The RDX 1R is available in one size designed to fit most adults via the ergonomic cup shape and compression-friendly profile. If sizing is critical (for youth athletes or specific body types), check the product dimensions against standard sizing guides for groin protectors in your sport.
