victridge Men's Football Girdle Black, XX-Large — 5-Pad Padded Compression Shorts with Cup Pocket

victridge 5-pad football girdle: low-profile compression shorts with sewn-in hip, thigh and tailbone EVA pads plus a front cup pocket for added protection during practices and contact drills.

This padded football girdle is built as a training and contact-practice base layer that adds targeted cushioning without the bulk of separate pads. Sewn-in 12mm EVA foam pads cover both hips, both thighs and the tailbone to reduce impact discomfort while four-way stretch fabric, breathable mesh panels and anti-slip leg grippers keep the girdle in place during sprints, cuts and tackles. The front cup pocket accepts a compatible athletic cup (sold separately) so you can pair protection options to your needs.

How does the girdle stay in place during movement?

The girdle combines a compression fit with construction details that prevent ride-up and shifting so pads remain aligned with the body. Elastic-bound hems and built-in leg grippers anchor the shorts at the thigh while the sewn-in pads don't shift inside pockets.

• 4-way stretch fabric for a snug, athletic contour
• Anti-slip silicone or elastic grippers at the hem to prevent ride-up
• Sewn-in EVA pads that remain positioned through cuts and contact
• Use under game pants or on their own for drills

What level and type of protection do the sewn-in pads provide?

These are low-profile, 12mm EVA foam pads intended to cushion impacts typical in practice, scrimmages and contact training rather than replace hard-shell protective equipment. Padding covers both hips, both thighs and the tailbone to spread force and reduce bruising and discomfort from repeated contact.

• Five sewn-in 12mm EVA foam pads (hips, thighs, tailbone)
• Designed for impact absorption and comfort, not rigid force dispersion
• Low-bulk profile fits under football pants or shorts
• Ideal for drills, pad work, and day-to-day contact practice

Can I use a protective cup with these shorts?

Yes—the girdle includes a front cup pocket with an elastic-bound opening to hold a compatible athletic cup in place. Verify your cup size fits before purchasing; the pocket secures the cup during running and contact but the cup itself is not included.

• Front cup pocket with elastic binding for stability
• Cup sold separately—confirm compatibility before ordering
• Pocket design reduces cup movement during dynamic play
• Works with many standard athletic cups on the market

How should I choose my size and care for the girdle?

Select by natural waist measurement rather than pants size: M (30–33 in), L (33–36.5 in), XL (36.5–40 in), XXL (40–44 in). If you fall near the upper end of a size or prefer less compression, opt for the larger size. For longevity, machine wash cold and tumble dry low or hang to dry; avoid high heat.

• Sizing: M 30–33 in, L 33–36.5 in, XL 36.5–40 in, XXL 40–44 in
• Choose larger size for reduced compression or if between sizes
• Care: machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry
• Wash after each practice and ensure fully dry before storage
