lobloo Thai Cup 2.0 – Professional Athletic Cup for MMA, Muay Thai & Contact Sports | Engineered Performance Protection | Slim Lock Fit, Lightweight Freedom | Made in Sweden

I have been using the Thai Cup 2.0 for 6 months now for Taekwondo and a bit of Hapkido and BJJ. Usage: I wear the cup every practice over Adidas athletic boxer briefs. There can be a little bunching of the briefs caused by the elastic leg straps - a small annoyance. Additionally, the cup can press into the lower abdomen during crunches and any bent over stretch which can limit motion in that direction. However, the cup stays in place and after getting used to the pressure between my upper thighs during crossing steps it does not interfere with kicking motions at all. I don't really notice it during kicking drills. The most important part of the review: It works! I've taken about six kicks to the groin during practice and sparring. The force is well distributed by the cup to the extreme lower abdomen and area surrounding the groin. I know I've been hit and it usually takes a moment to shake off the effect of the blow, but there is no long lasting radiating pain. I consider it highly effective - a hit is only a little worse than taking a strong kick to the outer thigh, a lot less painful and debilitating than a clean shot to the solar-plexus or unprotected groin. Other notes: Initial adjustment was easy following the video provided by the manufacturer. There was a little fine-tuning of the fit needed, and I have needed to re-tighten the waist strap twice in 6 months of use. The leg loops so far have been set and forget. The interference with crunch type movement can be off-putting. I am 5'7" and 150 Lbs. and on me it can really dig into the lower abdominal wall and can press on my bladder. On that note, make sure you are empty before putting it on. It is a bit of a hassle performing a pit stop when geared up. Lastly, it can be bit of a pain for grappling partners: it creates an uncomfortable pressure point during rear mount - especially if you dig in hooks and extend with your legs -thrusting pelvis forward. And be careful performing arm bars where you pull between the legs - make sure you guide your partners arm "south" below the cup or you will have a ton of leverage to do some real damage. Overview: Very Effective Protection and the most comfortable guard I've tried. Yes, you know you're wearing one, but it is the most effective type of protection because you will be wearing it rather than leaving it in your equipment bag.

Like the title says, this is the best athletic cup on the market. It is very great as it is adjustable like no other. You can adjust the waistband, and the leg fastener. Out of all the cups I have tried this is the best one, and I will be sticking to it. It is worth every cent, don't cheap out and buy a cheap 20 dollar one, it provides a fit like no other, and makes me feel like I have a cup on. Sometimes I forget I even have one on due to how comfortable this cup is. 5/5 stars.

Great cup with excellent compression and adjustability. It is the best one I have used so far. No jock strap and no uncomfortable strings. The impact absorption is much better than a traditional Thai steel cup, with no bruising and minimal shock. It stays securely in place even during intense training.

Good (if pricey) alternative to a steel cup. It is usually more comfortable, a touch more breathable, and it doesn't require a between-the-cheeks strap compared to my rope-tied steel cup. Unlike some other reviewers, I used an adjustable grip knot on my rope-tied steel cup that doesn't require re-knotting, so the Lo-Bloo cup is actually a touch slower to put on or take off and not particularly easier, but it should be faster than the classic steel cup setup. Sometimes with wrestling or ground work, the elastic leg bands of the Lo-Bloo can make my boxers to ride up a bit, but otherwise, it's been fine for kicks and knees (both performing the actions and getting smacked in the groin by said actions). It's also a bit more comfy even if pressed against the ground from above compared to a standard steel cup, and tends to move around less, even despite my steel cup technically not having any elastic and this being all elastic bands. It's still a touch uncomfortable doing certain legwork where the thighs are press closer together (like lying-down armbars), but that's not a disadvantage compared to a steel cup, per se. As a word of warning, I recently tried using the Lo-bloo with my Ex-Officio boxer briefs, and for some reason, it caused a bit of pinching towards the sides of the cup body. This never happens with my normal boxers (also Ex-Officio, and exact same materials, just different fit), but for some reason, the boxer brief form allowed something to pinch intermittently, which was quite distracting. So maybe watch out if you normally train with boxer briefs or briefs? Overall, it's a good cup, and mostly more comfy with the same protection, but it's still pricey and feels like a bit of splurge, even with its advantages.

Perfect! Followed the simple diagrams to loop the elastic strings and straps. Tried it on over my boxer briefs then made tightening adjustments. I was utterly impressed- stayed securely put and still no matter what movement I did. Threw several dozens of different kicks, squatted, rolled, and jumped around… no matter what this cup stayed where it was supposed to be. I got so confident and comfortably with it within a few minutes, it felt like it was part of me. Good protection, too as knocking and hitting it transferred no pain. Only thing to say is if you’re an adult movie star, go for another brand that makes something XXL. This is medium/large, closer to a medium size fit for all. Great product. If ever needing another one, I’ll go for this style again, no doubt.

Ottimo prodotto che utilizzo durante gli allenamenti di Krav Maga. Facile da montare. Rimane ferma e protegge molto bene, non creando fastidio o dolore, in qualsiasi posizione. Molto resistente

La coquille est solide, grande qualité sans conteste. L'ergonomie est ok, pas incroyable mais très bien. Le hic c'est l'assemblage, la fiche explicative donnée avec la coquille n'aide pas vraiment et la vidéo sur youtube est erronée au sujet de l'assemblage de la sangle de taille, en effet lo-bloo nous explique qu'il faut passer cette sangle dans deux des trois trous prévus a cet effet. SAUF QUE, il faut en réalité passer par les trois. J'explique : a l’intérieur de la coquille vous verrez que ceux ci sont notés (1, 2 et 3) d'abord passer la sangle par l’intérieur dans le 1, ensuite la faire passer dans le 3 de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur, puis de l’intérieur dans le 2 et le refaire passer de l’extérieur dans le 1 (j'ai mis des photos pour essayer de mieux visualiser la chose) donc, 5 étoiles pour la solidité de la coquille (elle ce met bien sur le corps aussi, bonne liberté de mouvements, aucunes genes etc) 2 pour les mauvaises informations de montage :/

Esta es una de las mejores coquillas del mercado. Una vez que la has fijado, se ajusta perfectamente y no se mueve. Está hecha de plástico duro y los bordes que tocan con la pelvis son más blandos para amortiguar. El precio de la coquilla es elevado pero merece la pena teniendo en cuenta lo que proteges. Descubrí esta protección en una web que se dedica a probar equipamiento de lucha llamada fightquality. Esta es la versión de esta marca sueca de las coquillas de acero thai tradicionales que se atan al trasero con una cuerda, esta es mucho más cómoda por el sistema de cintas que trae. En resumen, si tu bolsillo te lo permite, no lo dudes esta es la mejor.

Ladies and Gentleman let me first start by saying, "THIS CUP IS AMAZING". The first notable quality is the silicone edge of the cup which really emphasises the comfort of the product for longer sparring sessions and no chaffing. The design of the waist and thigh straps really do make the cup fit comfortably without the cupping moving from positions or "slipping" in dynamic movements, adjusting the tightness is simple with a pull of one of the straps. The Cup itself does very well in negating a lot of the pain with being hit in the crotch, (note: most of the pain is negated but not all of the pain). In comparison to a metal thai cup the straps offer more comfort than the "String" up the crack of your glutes and the cup offers similar piece of mind as wearing a metal cup in regards to absorbing shock from heavy blows. On a final note, The price of the product is a bargain for a quality product. The maintenance of the product is quite easy as you can keep it in the draw string bag it comes in and throw it in the wash, which makes it easy to clean without wearing out the elastic and straps.

I was really impressed with the guard. First of all, it looks reassuringly well made and designed. It's also very light and exceptionally comfortable on - the design means that it fits well and doesn't move out of place, even when doing ground work. You easily forget that it is in place, until it's called into action. I've caught kicks and knees and haven't felt anything coming through. It's also the most easy to use and maintain guard, in that you just pop it in the wash bag provided and clean it in the washing machine. It is a bit more expensive that other guards, but you really get what you pay for - it is frankly next level to others that i've used. It's a clean modern design, doesn't cause any restriction or discomfort, and offers solid, reliable protection. Once again, there are some things that you really ought not to economise on! Well worth the money.
