Boxing Groin Protector

All About Boxing Groin Protector

Low blows are common in boxing, most of them being accidental, but sometimes they are intentional. Just ask Riddick Bowe. It's usually mandatory to wear a groin protector in the ring and if it isn't, it's just common sense. Boxing protectors are a little different than those in most other sports, as they are bigger and more rigid then flexible. The protector's are usually made of shock absorbing, lightweight foam padding over a hard cup that protects your hips, waist, kidneys, lower abdomen and groin areas. Make sure the protector is adjustable and fits properly as you don't want it slipping during a bout. The protector should be lightweight and water resistant and shouldn't hinder your movement. Groin protectors come in various materials, sizes and colors. Women's models are also available.
