lobloo Thai Cup 2.0 – Professional Athletic Cup for MMA, Muay Thai & Contact Sports | Engineered Performance Protection | Slim Lock Fit, Lightweight Freedom | Made in Sweden

I have been using the Thai Cup 2.0 for 6 months now for Taekwondo and a bit of Hapkido and BJJ. Usage: I wear the cup every practice over Adidas athletic boxer briefs. There can be a little bunching of the briefs caused by the elastic leg straps - a small annoyance. Additionally, the cup can press into the lower abdomen during crunches and any bent over stretch which can limit motion in that direction. However, the cup stays in place and after getting used to the pressure between my upper thighs during crossing steps it does not interfere with kicking motions at all. I don't really notice it during kicking drills. The most important part of the review: It works! I've taken about six kicks to the groin during practice and sparring. The force is well distributed by the cup to the extreme lower abdomen and area surrounding the groin. I know I've been hit and it usually takes a moment to shake off the effect of the blow, but there is no long lasting radiating pain. I consider it highly effective - a hit is only a little worse than taking a strong kick to the outer thigh, a lot less painful and debilitating than a clean shot to the solar-plexus or unprotected groin. Other notes: Initial adjustment was easy following the video provided by the manufacturer. There was a little fine-tuning of the fit needed, and I have needed to re-tighten the waist strap twice in 6 months of use. The leg loops so far have been set and forget. The interference with crunch type movement can be off-putting. I am 5'7" and 150 Lbs. and on me it can really dig into the lower abdominal wall and can press on my bladder. On that note, make sure you are empty before putting it on. It is a bit of a hassle performing a pit stop when geared up. Lastly, it can be bit of a pain for grappling partners: it creates an uncomfortable pressure point during rear mount - especially if you dig in hooks and extend with your legs -thrusting pelvis forward. And be careful performing arm bars where you pull between the legs - make sure you guide your partners arm "south" below the cup or you will have a ton of leverage to do some real damage. Overview: Very Effective Protection and the most comfortable guard I've tried. Yes, you know you're wearing one, but it is the most effective type of protection because you will be wearing it rather than leaving it in your equipment bag.

Like the title says, this is the best athletic cup on the market. It is very great as it is adjustable like no other. You can adjust the waistband, and the leg fastener. Out of all the cups I have tried this is the best one, and I will be sticking to it. It is worth every cent, don't cheap out and buy a cheap 20 dollar one, it provides a fit like no other, and makes me feel like I have a cup on. Sometimes I forget I even have one on due to how comfortable this cup is. 5/5 stars.

This Cup is top of the line. I use it for Muay Thai. It's extremely light and it's simple, but effective strap system fixes the cup rocksolid in one position. It's so light you forget you wear it sometimes. And it's built like a tank: Even when I get a full on Teep to the groin, minimal to no impact pain at all. The little bag in which you keep the cup & also can wash it in, is a genius little ad on, that makes a good product perfect. Only one thing - minor: You should wear tight boxers under. If you wear a small slip that is smaller than the Cup's outline, it might shuffle a little on the skin. But it's not an issue at all when wearing Boxers. All in All: Best Cup I ever owned, worth the money 100%!

Good (if pricey) alternative to a steel cup. It is usually more comfortable, a touch more breathable, and it doesn't require a between-the-cheeks strap compared to my rope-tied steel cup. Unlike some other reviewers, I used an adjustable grip knot on my rope-tied steel cup that doesn't require re-knotting, so the Lo-Bloo cup is actually a touch slower to put on or take off and not particularly easier, but it should be faster than the classic steel cup setup. Sometimes with wrestling or ground work, the elastic leg bands of the Lo-Bloo can make my boxers to ride up a bit, but otherwise, it's been fine for kicks and knees (both performing the actions and getting smacked in the groin by said actions). It's also a bit more comfy even if pressed against the ground from above compared to a standard steel cup, and tends to move around less, even despite my steel cup technically not having any elastic and this being all elastic bands. It's still a touch uncomfortable doing certain legwork where the thighs are press closer together (like lying-down armbars), but that's not a disadvantage compared to a steel cup, per se. As a word of warning, I recently tried using the Lo-bloo with my Ex-Officio boxer briefs, and for some reason, it caused a bit of pinching towards the sides of the cup body. This never happens with my normal boxers (also Ex-Officio, and exact same materials, just different fit), but for some reason, the boxer brief form allowed something to pinch intermittently, which was quite distracting. So maybe watch out if you normally train with boxer briefs or briefs? Overall, it's a good cup, and mostly more comfy with the same protection, but it's still pricey and feels like a bit of splurge, even with its advantages.

Great cup with excellent compression and adjustability. It is the best one I have used so far. No jock strap and no uncomfortable strings. The impact absorption is much better than a traditional Thai steel cup, with no bruising and minimal shock. It stays securely in place even during intense training.

Perfect! Followed the simple diagrams to loop the elastic strings and straps. Tried it on over my boxer briefs then made tightening adjustments. I was utterly impressed- stayed securely put and still no matter what movement I did. Threw several dozens of different kicks, squatted, rolled, and jumped around… no matter what this cup stayed where it was supposed to be. I got so confident and comfortably with it within a few minutes, it felt like it was part of me. Good protection, too as knocking and hitting it transferred no pain. Only thing to say is if you’re an adult movie star, go for another brand that makes something XXL. This is medium/large, closer to a medium size fit for all. Great product. If ever needing another one, I’ll go for this style again, no doubt.

I use this cup for BJJ and Krav Maga. It works very well for both. The cup stays on your body the entire time while rolling. So there are no uncomfortable escapes of your equipment like I would sometimes get with fabric pocket cups. Pros: Snug fitting. Moves with you. No gaps. No separation from your body. Cons: The bands that hug your thighs can pull hairs. I would buy this cup again. It is a nice benefit to MMA sports. Funny Story: I have a habit of taking my MMA cup out of the pocket and hitting it with a spritz of Lysol before hanging it up. I tried that with the Lo Bloo 2.0 not thinking about the direct body contact. The next time i rolled with the Lo Bloo I got a contact rash from the Lysol. Not a very pleasant rash to have. Feel free to learn from my stupidity. Your Welcome. =)

The Lo Bloo is a great concept! I really like the idea of a cup that doesn’t require a jock-strap to hold it in place, I can wear this over my underwear and take it off easily. But the elastic cables that come with it are awfully short, and they wind up pulling the cup down and back between my legs. The lower half of the cup is also far too wide and winds up rubbing the inside of my thighs. I can only wear this cup for about 15 minutes before it gets super irritating.

Ottimo prodotto che utilizzo durante gli allenamenti di Krav Maga. Facile da montare. Rimane ferma e protegge molto bene, non creando fastidio o dolore, in qualsiasi posizione. Molto resistente

Best cup I had, takes a while to adjust to the size you want while training

La coquille est solide, grande qualité sans conteste. L'ergonomie est ok, pas incroyable mais très bien. Le hic c'est l'assemblage, la fiche explicative donnée avec la coquille n'aide pas vraiment et la vidéo sur youtube est erronée au sujet de l'assemblage de la sangle de taille, en effet lo-bloo nous explique qu'il faut passer cette sangle dans deux des trois trous prévus a cet effet. SAUF QUE, il faut en réalité passer par les trois. J'explique : a l’intérieur de la coquille vous verrez que ceux ci sont notés (1, 2 et 3) d'abord passer la sangle par l’intérieur dans le 1, ensuite la faire passer dans le 3 de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur, puis de l’intérieur dans le 2 et le refaire passer de l’extérieur dans le 1 (j'ai mis des photos pour essayer de mieux visualiser la chose) donc, 5 étoiles pour la solidité de la coquille (elle ce met bien sur le corps aussi, bonne liberté de mouvements, aucunes genes etc) 2 pour les mauvaises informations de montage :/

Ich nutze den Tiefschutz für Krav Maga, Kickboxen und generell Kontaktsport und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Was mir besonders gefällt, ist die Möglichkeit zur individuellen Anpassung. Es braucht zwar etwas Zeit, bis man alles richtig eingestellt hat, aber der Aufwand lohnt sich. Danach sitzt der Schutz deutlich besser als bei vielen anderen Modellen, die ich bisher ausprobiert habe. Im Training gibt er ein sehr sicheres Gefühl. Auch bei härteren Treffern hatte ich nie das Gefühl, unzureichend geschützt zu sein – der Schutz ist wirklich gut. Der Tragekomfort ist nach der richtigen Anpassung ebenfalls absolut in Ordnung, nichts verrutscht oder drückt unangenehm. Insgesamt ein durchdachtes Produkt, das vor allem durch die Anpassbarkeit und den guten Schutz überzeugt.

Bought for my son who practices Muay Thai. He said this cup protected him well when he recieved a back kick to his groin. He did not feel any pain.
