How do I get my hip pads to stay in?

Question

This is my first year of football, and I got my girdle yesterday. I already have pads and everything but im a little confused about hip pads. How do you ge tthem to stay up on your hips? the pockets in my girdle are pretty deep and the pads stay in the pocket and the tops of the pads dont stick out to provide support. Is it necessary to have the pad stick out of the girdle, and if so, how do i keep it up and tightly in my girdle?

Answer 1

I play high school football so i know by experience that it is not necessary to have the pad stick out of the girdle as long as it covers your hip bone.

Answer 2

Try a smaller girdle.

Answer 5
