Is Your Son Wearing the Wrong Size Protective Cup? (3 Signs He Is)
(Introduction) Buying baseball gear online can be scary. especially when it involves... sensitive areas.
Many parents guess the size, thinking, "I'll buy a size up so he can grow into it." While that works for T-shirts, it is a terrible idea for protective cups and sliding shorts.
If the gear doesn't fit perfectly right now, it cannot do its job. Here is how to tell if his current gear is failing him.
Sign #1: The "Inner Thigh" Red Marks
If he comes home after a game with chafing or red lines on his inner thighs, the cup is likely too wide for his pelvic frame.
-
The Danger: A cup that is too wide will dig into his legs every time he runs, causing him to alter his stride and slow down.
Sign #2: The "Migration" (It Moves Around)
Does the cup slide up, down, or flip sideways? This usually means the sliding shorts are too loose.
-
The Fix: Sliding shorts are meant to be a "second skin." They should feel tight. If there is loose fabric bunching up, you need to size down. The compression needs to be strong enough to anchor the cup against the body.
How to Size Correctly for Davion
Forget about "Age." Every kid grows differently. To get the perfect Davion fit, you need two numbers:
-
Waist Size: Measure just above the hips, where his belt normally sits.
-
Weight: This is often the best indicator for youth sizing.
-
Small (Youth): 40-60 lbs
-
Medium (Youth): 60-80 lbs
-
Large (Youth): 80-100 lbs
-
X-Large (Youth): 100-120 lbs
