Where do you buy an athletic cup?
Dick’s…
Ok, actually we found one at Hibbitt’s, but we went to Dick’s first. Jack needed one for football. He plays rough, and needs to protect the Comer line.
Now the closest thing I have ever worn to a cup is a dance belt. And, FYI, they are very different.
It’s football season, again. Jack wanted to do the cup shopping with me. Seems he was too modest to talk about it with his mom.
“He needs a new mouth piece and…he wants to get something else…” his mom said with that “you know” sound in her voice.
“Ah…”said I, understanding, ” we will take care of that.” I figured this would come around soon. 
He’s hit an age where his modesty is kicking in. It’s kinda cute. He was changing the other night while I was in the room and ask that I turn around. I can’t imagine what he asks his mom to do…probably leave the house.
So we went in search of the athletic protection device. It’s not required at this age, but I would think it would suck to take a helmet to the groin without some padding there. Again…I didn’t have to worry about that in “Camelot”, just hiding my panty lines in my Kermit the Frog green tights. Do you know how hard it is to find a youth ball barrier? We went to 3 stores before hitting a home run at Hibbitts. Now, hopefully, we have protected the boys from harm.

I Dont know much about the concerns of a dancer (except that if I’m the one dancing watch out for lots of flailing and spastic movement)
But trust me, in football He’ll want some protection!!!!
(Oddly if he goes far enough in football, he’ll stop wearing a cup, true! Professional Football players, and I would assume College(depending on position) feel that the cup restricts movement…. so they go COMANDO …. YikeS!

Dick’s seems like the perfect place to find an athletic cup.
I actually had a classmate take one in the nether regions during massage class last week. We were practicing draping the sheet and the chick that was working on him pulled a bit too aggressively on the sheet. Sheet came loose from her fisted hand, fisted hand thrust into testicles. Niiiiiiiiice.
