The NuttyBuddy® athletic cup is like no other cup ever designed. Our cups are made to the highest quality using a high impact resistant polycarbonate material – the same material used in bullet resistant glass.

FLEX - For those who need more give in their protective cup, go for the FLEX. Originally designed for MMA fighters, this cup is designed for even more comfort and flexibility. If you are running hard, crossing over, and/or spend time on your back buy this cup. Ideal for hockey front line, rodeo, martial arts, football, or those who simply want more comfort and flexibility. You will still get the most protection from NuttyBuddy®, then any other cup on the market.
CLASSIC - This cup is our most protective. Full high impact from any assault—front, side, and underneath. If you play a sport with a hard ball – Buy this cup. Ideal for baseball, hockey, and lacrosse. This is the beast that will keep you and your heirs safe.
NuttyBuddy® Athletic Cups
• The most comfortable cup on the market. Period!
• Allows movement with ease

Why Three Pieces?
The NuttyBuddy system features a uniquely curved cup for anatomical fit, worn with an outer jock strap and snug shorts for optimal comfort and protection. This design ensures the cup stays close to your body, outperforming traditional pouches. The professional-style setup offers luxury and security, protected by our “Wear It Like A Pro®” trademark.
My team has white pants. Does the NuttyBuddy system come in white?
We don’t offer white cups, shorts or jocks, as black is less prone to staining and wear. Black performs just as well and it’s extremely rare that it shows through your white or gray pants. But if you’re not satisfied within 30 days, we’ll issue a full refund - so you have nothing to lose by trying it out.
How do you choose the best fit?
Choose cup size based on height to ensure pelvic protection. If too big, it may rub uncomfortably. For jocks and shorts, use waist size, with jocks sometimes one size larger for comfort. Consider weight and body shape for best fit, ensuring the cup stays snug but comfortable.
Does Junk Size Matter when choosing a cup?
No, cup size is based on height, not junk size. For instance, a 6'9" person needs our largest cup, the Mongo. Shorts and jocks should be chosen by waist size, which is true to size. If the system doesn’t fit, we offer exchanges or refunds within 30 days.
My son doesn’t want to wear a jock. What should I do?
Educate him on the importance of proper protection. Though jocks may seem uncool, our system offers superior comfort and protection. Once he gets used to it, he’ll likely find it comfortable. If he’s not satisfied within 30 days, we’ll provide a refund.
Why do the shorts cost so much?
Our shorts are high-quality, made in Toronto from custom fabrics, and feature patented technology. They’re built for maximum protection, not mass-market pricing. Like a Rolls Royce, they’re an investment in comfort and safety. We believe your health and legacy are worth it.
What is the NuttyBuddy® Guarantee?
If you’re not satisfied with your first NuttyBuddy® purchase, we offer a refund or exchange within 30 days. Contact us with your order number for a refund or exchange. Replacement items ship free. For other returns, see our standard policy.
Do the Lock Shorts have a pouch for the cup?
Nope—and that’s intentional. Our cup system is designed to work with three separate pieces. The shorts are your base layer, the jock goes over the shorts, and the cup slides securely between the two. It’s what makes NuttyBuddy work better than anything else.
Can I wear an NB cup in a pouch?
No, our cup should NOT be used with pouches. Pouches don’t hold the cup securely, risking injury. Our system, worn as intended, keeps the cup snug and moves with your body. The professional setup provides the best protection and comfort, as endorsed by our trademarked “Wear It Like A Pro®”.
Do you have team pricing available?
Yes, visit our team pricing page here or contact theboys@nuttybuddy.com for team pricing details.
Why does NuttyBuddy require a jock strap?
The jock strap holds the cup securely outside the shorts for optimal protection and comfort. Unlike pouches, it keeps the cup snug and in place. Our jock features a unique design with a 2-inch support band and patented gusset for added stability and safety.

This is a long over due upgrade (I was still using an original nutty buddy ! ) now, don’t get me wrong, a direct hit his still gonna hurt some but the low profile anatomical fit and the short jock system means this is by far one of the lowest profile comfortable fits out there , the shape combined with the jock/short system means this moves with you beautifully regardless of what your doing with out need to readjust every few minutes .

We'd been trying to convince our son to upgrade his cup for a while. We bought several different options, but he disliked every one for one reason or another and always went back to his basic Shock Doctor. As a 14U travel lacrosse goalie, we knew he needed better protection. After he finally took a hard shot, another goalie parent recommended the Nutty Buddy—the same cup their son uses as a college goalie. We gave it a try, and it has been a huge success. No complaints at all. It provides excellent protection, it's comfortable, and most importantly, he actually wants to wear it. If you have a goalie who's reluctant to switch, this one is absolutely worth considering.

I’ve been a Nutty Buddy user for all of their 20 years. Mostly used in men’s league hockey and when I coach. Great product, very innovative when it came out and my go to since. My only issue is depth of cup. When the original cup was released it was deeper. Then when the strength ribs were added to the inside of the cup the depth was reduced. I understand the need for the strength in ribs as I cracked a cup taking a slap shot to it. I always felt the ribs should have been added to the outside of the cup and continue with the original depth or make it even deeper. I am using the XXL Mongo which is about the right size but I feel could be a bit bigger. Thank you. Great product, just giving some feedback, hope it helps.

The NuttyBuddy is the best protection going. Direct hits from passed/foul balls are painless. I highly recommend the NuttyBuddy to our new umpires.

I watched the videos and laughed, but was sold. I wore it once and it's as comfortable as it can be. I did a self test and I think it's legit.
