These shorts secure the cup in place, preventing shifting during movement. Their high-performance material offers breathable support, keeping you cool and confident during intense action.
Designed for additional stabilization, the jock strap ensures the cup stays exactly where it’s needed, offering a snug fit that enhances both protection and freedom of movement.

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.

I play Gaelic sports, worked great for the hurling tournament I just played! Only drawback is I got some bruising between the thighs but it wasn’t noticeable during play

I started umpire in 2006. I meet Mark Littell back in 2006 and he told me about his cup, and how it work and all. I switch to NuttyBuddy and been using them since. I decided this year it was time to buy a new cup as well as the Turia Blue 20 year anniversary cup. I tell everyone who come into my umpire school that NuttyBuddy really works and it worth the investment. As a umpire with all different ages I have been hit with wild pitches up all the way to 87 mph and haven't gone down or lost my manhood. Thank you Mark. Hope your are enjoying watching ball games from heaven.

Great, no movement at all not consistent adjusting myself
Scotty H. 5/5 Verified
So comfortable you have to knock twice to make sure it is there.
Heath B. 5/5 Verified
My son can barely tell it’s there! Love that it doesn’t distract him from the game and according to him, he doesn’t even know it’s there. I will say, fitting him for the right size was weird because he is in the weight range for a larger size but he has a very small waist. We ended up using his height to pick the size and that worked out great!
Melissa H. 5/5 Verified
USPS lost my package but Nutty Buddy was on it, they got the order replaced and I got it in a snap! My Son has been using his Nutty Buddy ever since and never once complains about fit or comfortability. I see the other boys always adjusting in the field during practices and games, but not my kid! Once he sets it, he forgets it. I’ve seen a definite change in his ball confidence now that he knows his own are safe. Definitely recommend 10/10

First day wearing this i tested it out as i got tripped mid game and took the right goal post to the boys…..! Didn’t feel a thing and i am sure that had i been wearing another shot glass (small azz cup) id be in the hospital having one or both repaired or removed….

Championship hockey game with protection from Nutty Buddy
Daniel P. 5/5
Umpire backfield MLB and NCAA for over 14 years. Been hit several times and NO PAIN. Even in the vulnerable spot when the ball comes up underneath the cup (ricochet off ground). Jock, cup, compression shorts = gold-standard for protection. Won't wear anything else.

We love them! They are the only ones we use!

I ordered what I needed. They told me when it was coming in came in exactly when they said very professional nutty, buddy is the best. Thank you

I continue to order the best from the best! I’m 76.5 years old. I continue to play in 3 softball leagues a week. Years of trying every jock and cup combo on the market. I believe it was four or five years ago I ordered my first Nutty Buddy. When it arrived, my wife wanted to see if it was a good as they claim it is, so, she had me put it on, then wacked the boys with a bat. When I didn’t drop to my knees she said, “wow it really does work”. I wish they were around 50 years ago! It is the best, THE BEST! Jock -Cup system I’ve ever owned. I’ll wear it sometimes 7-8 hours straight (depending on double headers or tournament play) and never even know it’s there. I played baseball until I was 50, now I still play competitive softball at 76.5. Protecting the boys has never been easier!! Trust me: this system really works!!! It’s worth every penny, just ask my wife.

I've already taken a foul ball to the groin and before I got the compression shorts my cup would slide all around. WITH the compression shorts it stays put and protects me well.
Mark M. 5/5 Verified
Chose this after a close call umpiring a Little League game with a cup that wouldn't stay on place. Two games after owning this I took a one-hopper directly to the middle of this cup and I didn't feel a thing! Great protection that stays in place!
Chris P. 5/5 Verified
As expected my son loves it
Gary P. 5/5 Verified
I bought the NuttyBuddy for my grandson who plays youth football. Through some practices and one game he says it is more comfortable than his old traditional cup, which was the reason for my purchase. No rave reviews from him but if the NuttyBuddy is more comfortable and that causes him to use the cup it will be worth the purchase.

The customer service is stellar! The product is great and provided an alternative for my son who has been wearing standard cups during football!

It didn’t fit right on me and I couldn’t ever get comfortable. With that being said the team at NB took very good care of me and I don’t have anything bad to say.

Store owner replied: Thanks, Brendon! We're sorry we couldn't get the fit right for you, but we really appreciate you giving NuttyBuddy a try—and especially the kind words about our team. At the end of the day, we'll always do our best to get our customers situated. Thanks again! — The Boys 🛡️
Can’t stress enough if you’re using a nutty buddy you need to use the branded shorts/jock combo. Comfortable, fit well and this is what makes the system work as well as it does.

My son always was uncomfortable with other athletic cup until he got his Nutty Buddy. It stays in place and he feels more confident that he's protected which leads him to play better.

Third one. The only problem I ever have is the rubber around the protector gets torn.
