Shock Doctor Jock & Undergarment Sizing Chart & Guide

Shock Doctor has earned a reputation for providing athletes with superior protective gear and undergarments that enhance performance and comfort. However, achieving the perfect fit is crucial for maximizing the benefits of their products. Improperly sized jockstraps and undergarments can lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and even compromised protection. This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and tools to ensure you select the ideal size for your Shock Doctor gear.

Wearing the wrong size jockstrap or undergarment can have several negative consequences. Ill-fitting gear can cause chafing, irritation, and discomfort, leading to distractions and hindering performance. Additionally, loose-fitting garments may not provide adequate support and protection, while overly tight options can restrict movement and circulation.

Shock Doctor provides separate size charts for their jockstraps, compression shorts, and cups. Each chart lists waist and/or hip measurements alongside corresponding sizes. To find your perfect fit, simply locate your measurements within the chart and choose the corresponding size.

Please Note: These sizing charts are for reference only and may not reflect personal preference.

To ensure you get the perfect fit, follow these simple steps to take accurate measurements for your Shock Doctor jockstraps, compression shorts, and other undergarments:

tand relaxed and locate your natural waistline, which is typically just above your hip bones. Wrap a measuring tape comfortably around your waist and note the measurement in inches.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Locate your fullest point around your hips and buttocks. Wrap the measuring tape around your hips and record the measurement in inches.

Shock Doctor offers cups in various sizes to accommodate different body types. To determine your ideal cup size, measure the distance from the base of your spine to the center of your thigh. 

Refer to the Shock Doctor size chart (see below) to find the corresponding cup size based on your measurement.

Here are some common mistakes athletes make when selecting Shock Doctor products, along with tips to avoid them:

Your clothing size may not translate directly to your Shock Doctor size. Always refer to the brand's specific size charts for accurate measurements.

Selecting the right cup size is crucial for proper protection and mobility. Don't just assume a one-size-fits-all approach for the cup.

Not all Shock Doctor products are one-size-fits-all. Ensure you choose the right size based on your specific measurements to guarantee proper protection.

Guessing your size can lead to discomfort or inadequate protection. Take accurate measurements as recommended by Shock Doctor to ensure the right fit.

Beyond size, consider these additional factors when choosing Shock Doctor undergarments:

• Material: Choose moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester or nylon for sweat management and comfort.
• Activity Level: Opt for more supportive garments for high-impact activities and lighter options for lower-impact sports.
• Sport-Specific Needs: Certain sports require specific features, such as built-in pockets or additional padding. Consider the unique demands of your chosen sport when selecting your undergarment.

If your cup feels too tight, uncomfortable, or doesn't adequately cover and protect your groin area, you may need a larger size. Follow the manufacturer's sizing guidelines for the best fit.

While primarily designed for sports, Shock Doctor undergarments can be worn for non-sport activities, depending on comfort and personal preference. Keep in mind their intended purpose for optimal performance.

 Replace Shock Doctor gear regularly, especially if it shows signs of wear, tear, or a decrease in protective capability. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for specific gear replacement intervals.

Yes, there is a difference between adult and youth sizing in Shock Doctor products. Ensure you select the appropriate category based on your age and body size to get the right fit and protection.
