Description

A baseball traveling at 90 mph can deliver 2,400 lbs of force. Other cups on the market can reduce that impact to 450 lbs of force—still enough to cause serious injury. The NuttyBuddy® Flex Cup has been proven in scientific tests to reduce that impact to just 110 lbs of force, which is within acceptable levels of impact.

A properly fitting cup shifts less, is more comfortable, and does not impede movement or performance. The unique, award-winning design of the Nutty Buddy Flex Cup more effectively and comfortably covers the male anatomy, while a full range of sizes - Hog, Trophy and Mongo - will help you achieve a perfect custom fit.

For those who need more give in their protective cup, go for the FLEX. Originally designed for MMA fighters, this cup is designed for even more comfort and flexibility.

FEATURES

  • Constructed of the same materials used in bullet-proof glass and military protective gear
  • Unique anatomical shape provides superior protection
  • Flexible, rubberized edge for comfort and fit
  • Vented for additional comfort

In order to provide the utmost comfort and protection the Nutty Buddy, we recommend you wear your flex cup worn as a three piece system. To wear correctly, first put on compression base layer. Place jock and cup over the compression wear. Note: compression base layer and jock sold separately.

As far as comfortable, this thing is second to none. Big thing I was worried with was going to cover 3rd and having to walk back to home adjusting my cup and looking like a pervert. Set it how you want it and it is there until you pull it out. I have yet to test it as far as getting hit but at the same time I won’t be mad if I don’t have to test it.

Tough to review this as an individual product. The cup does not fit well in a traditional compression short and is recommended to be worn "sandwiched" between a company short and jock (found out after an uncomfortable day and some product research). I have not taken a direct hit yet, but wearing this in a compression short was uncomfortable and I will not do again until I can order a jock to accompany it.

I recommend this cup to all my fellow colleagues, and I’d buy it again for myself.
