Female groin preotectors?

Question

I am starting karate soon and was wondering if i needed groin protection. Any females out there use groin protectors? I could use my boyfriends cup, can you just use male cups? Any girls know any websites that sell female groin protectors?

Answer 1

check out this web site.  www.sakuramartialarts.com/Martial_Arts_V...  it hasall the stuff you will need including breast protectors and female groin protectors

Answer 2

I suppose you could try, but it's not really designed for a female's anatomy.  Better safe than sorry, because stuff happens sometimes.  

Go to a sporting goods store and if they don't sell them, ask if they can order one in.  If that fails order one online.  The first ones I found were:

seka-sports.com

shop.com

Good luck and train safe.

(Spense, you don't know anything about girls, do you.)

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

why would a girl need one? i don't get it.

Answer 6

females need them too.

and as for when you need it, I doubt you will need it on your first day, maybe your instructor knows where to pick one up for cheap in your area.

Answer 7

Check out title boxing or titlemma.com.  They have female groin protectors.  

They are important in sparring, but you shouldn't be sparring for a while.  

Don't use your boyfriends cup.  Its not made for your anatomy (clearly) and won't offer you the protection you need.  It could damage you worse than not wearing one because of how it would fit you.

Answer 8

hi!there..you joining karate?I'm a karate student. in a sparring session or competition girls normally not necessary to use groin protectors. chest protector is most important but is up to an individual to use groin protector.

hope you enjoy learning karate!

Answer 10

Female groin protection is available at any sporting goods store and at some Wall Marts in the sporting good section. Yes it is a good idea if you go to a school where there is a lot of sparing. Otherwise you could do without it. Women do have a vital pressure point in that area and it is painful when struck.

Answer 11

Umm no. I don't.  I am sure your teacher can assist you with whatever you may need.

Answer 12

Yes females need them as much as males. Doesn't matter who you are it hurts to get hit there.

I would suggest not wearing a male cup. as it will not protect the way you need it to. Invest some money in a good cup designed for the female anatomy. You wont be sorry.
