I wear this type of hook and loop cup and I felt that this cup didn't fit me to good, I have been hit below the belt and this groin cup does give some level of protection but I felt not enough. I also think that this cup doesn't wrap far enough under because I have been hit with a low upper cut and think this cup is alright but I'm looking for a better fitting cup. I recommend this brand (everlast) maybe a different model though.
