Are athletic cups required/recommended for paintballing?

Question

Is it a necesity for guys t wear athletic cups while painballin? And do girls have to wear them too?

Answer 1

It would be wize to wear one,think about it,fast moving progectiles shot at you by thrill loving people. Have you even been shot anywhere unprotected? I can't imagine the pain!

Answer 2

guys yes girls probably, i once knew a guy you got a ruptured t******e from being hit with a paintball. like i always say, its never a good thing when three balls collide.

Answer 3

Yes recommended, required depends on the field.  I will say from first hand experience that while movement seems to be a bit more delayed a well placed ball to your.....(too easy of a pun).........hurts like the Dickens.

Answer 4

never been shot in the twig and berries... a hard cup sounds like a good idea to me.

Not a girl...but I think I remember some kind of protective gear for lady  jocks... I'd think that you wouldnt want to get shot down under either.
