All About Fencing Athletic Supporters

In fencing, it’s probably a good idea to also protect your groin and crotch area from any wayward foils, epees or sabers with an athletic supporter and cup. The cup is a hard plastic removable protective shield that fits into front of the supporter, which fits around your waist. The inside of the cup is padded with foam rubber to help absorb and cushion any impact. There are many types of supporters on the market with some of supporters having the cup sewn into a pair of shorts or a girdle. Whatever style you decide, you should always wear an athletic supporter to help prevent injuries. Athletic supporters are available for men and women in various sizes and materials.
