no i don't because they can rub and give u the worst rash of ur life where the edeges of the cup rub and plus my crotch area of my jeans get really tight whern i run so the balls just bounce. i admit this scares me but in the end all 3 of my boys are still there ------------- http://imageshack.us">

i just can't wear them i guess my legs are different or sumthin. anyways personally i'd rather get shpt in the nuts than in the throat and don't start making fun of me for that comment but if u get shot at the bottom of the neck. u can't breathe for like a minute and panic big time. not to mention the immense pain and afterwards u cough up blood. but luckily u usually pass out. i was the unlucky one who had to sit thru the whole thing. its worse than choking on something. it scares u bad .

Do you guys wear a cup when playing hockey, baseball, football, soccer? If so wear one when you play paintball. I wish i still had the pic of the guy who was shot in the nuts by a paintball. They took 4 ounces of blood out of the left testicle. Lets just say that testicle no longer works. He is now left with only one.
The reason a cup is uncomfortable is that you have the wrong size. Either too big or too small. Another trick to make it more comfortable is wear it above a pair of boxer briefs or boxer shorts. This way you won't get any chaffing. Also you can pick up a soft cup they are more expensive than a hard cup but least you are protected. The indoor field i play at you have to wear a cup of some sort. If not you cannot play. The reason is we shoot a very close ranges and you never know when you will be hit there. Trust me the longer you play sooner or later you will be hit in the rocks. -------------

I probobly should, but I dont. I have heard, and this may sound funny, but a few wadded up socks down there can help cushion an impact. Now, this is no replacement for a hard-cup, but anything is better than nothing. I dont even wear a hard-cup supporter for Martial Arts sparring tournys. If the ring judge asks me I will just lie. ------------- Hey, nice marmot!  |

ill try the socks idea.. sounds a lot more comfortable and affordable since the whole shot in the nuts story changed my mind. but getting shot in the throat rivals a nut shot greatly ------------- http://imageshack.us">

hey if someone's rich why would you make fun of them? i'm not saying this is true or anything just what it sounds like so don't tell me im sayiong this about you if you don't like rich people. if ur making frun of someone that has more money than u it sounds like ur jealous and if they have more money than you they obviously worked harder or someone in there family worked harder than you or they could have stumbled on to some luck. but i still don';t see why to make fun of rich people i would suck up to em and get free money! ------------- http://imageshack.us">

11 years of paintball experience and I've never got shot in the nuts, or at least never got shot close up enough to actually feel it. Personally, I think its bad luck to wear a cup. I saw a friend of mine play with a cup on one day and he got shot in the crotch twice that day. -------------

to tell you the truth i'd buy some dye pants or w/e if i had the money. i mean a paintball marker is more exoensive than those pants. And thas not being rich if you have a job. How much did those pants cost? 80-120? at 6 bucks an hour thas up to 20 hours of work which is half a week if you work AMAP. thas if they cost 120 and i've seen some for 60 so is not that much. if i had a job i;d be decked out in dye jerseys and stuff becuz they breathe really well and provdie nice padding. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

um. actually i dont wear a cup. i dont like them their irritating.. i had to wear one when i played rugby as a team. didnt like it. plus i dont even own one but i usually just wear jeans . their comfy . um this one time though i was playing 2v1 .. and my friend sam shot me right between the legs. and this, is why i like jeans. since i was wearing my tight pair and i was on one leg the middle was stretched. so it didnt even hurt my pals =). it did break tho so i was out.. but i was so releived it didnt nail them.. woulda hurt like nothin else -------------
