NuttyBuddy Classic Athletic Cup

It is without a doubt the most comfortable cup I have worn. Thankfully it hasn't been put to the test yet, but I'm confident that when it does it will protect the jewels.

I have no doubt this cup will protect you but I would go at least one size bigger than recommended. I purchased the one for my recommended height and it was too small.

I was a catcher and never had protection like this! Since umpiring I've taken a number of direct shots where people have "ooohed & ahhhed" and I didn't miss a beat! They couldn't believe it! Best there is, I wouldn't spend the $100 on the Kevlar cup.

This was my first purchase when I got into umpiring. I played catcher growing up and took my lumps (if you know what I mean). It has served me well going into my 5th year umpiring high school and league ball. Ya got to see the video - this product sells itself.

Absolutely love this product. Use it for both high levels of baseball and softball. My only addition to this is that I would love to see a NuttyBuddy compression pant instead of just the shorts as I personally like to wear a long pant to my ankle under my gear!

I loved my NuttyBuddy until my dog munched it last year. Then I could not find them to purchase anymore. I am so glad to see it is available again. I wear mine in the pouch of McDavid compression shorts, with a jockstrap over that, and then compression tights over that. Holds everything nice and secure. The Nutty Buddy was always very comfortable and fit perfectly. I took a couple of shots and it worked well in that regard, too.

Worked A full weekend with NuttyBuddy right out of the box. No discomfort.

Very comfortable, hope to never have to see if it works...lol. Definitely a great purchase.

Satisfied with the NuttyBuddy.

Perfect protection.

Very comfortable.

Best cup on the market. First time on the field with it and I took a direct shot! Cup was just as advertised! Never going back. NuttyBuddy is it!

Hands down the best umpire cup on the market, took several shots this summer. Did not phase me one bit. I was a catcher for all of my playing years and shots to the cup in the old days would drop a man to his knees or worse. Not this product. The only way you know you get hit is by everyone else's reactions.

Best cup I have ever used, it sits well and is super comfortable. After using this, I will never switch cups again.

Guys get rid of the old banana cups, this is the way to go with out a doubt. Banana cups seem to keep you crunched together, NuttyBuddy has room that helps to absorb that hit, spreads it out. Don't forget you wear it between compression shorts and supporter it is very comfortable. Time to move up guys.

Simply the best protection you can have! Very comfortable and I don't even realize I have it on, versus other traditional style cups. I wear it between my long compression pants and my compression shorts. I wouldn't own anything else.

This cup works great when hit by a ball. It doesn't fit uncomfortably like a regular cup.

This is the best product of its kind anywhere in the market. I see umpires go down in pain and agony when they take a shot. Of course they are never wearing a NuttyBuddy!!! I have taken shots and have Never gone down!!! Buy this!!!!!

I took a direct foul ball that probably would've knocked me out of the game with a regular cup. Granted, I did go down but only for a minute or two compared to being knocked out of the game. Great product and a must buy.

Aside from the second to none customer service, I've purchased several items, but one item I'm very proud of buying is the NuttyBuddy. I've been hit there several times, but the last time I got hit and it was hard, it broke the supporter. The hit even rubbed the "NUT" off the cup, so all it has is "TYBUDDY". As in Thank You Buddy. A lady in the stands even offered me ice. But 15 seconds after getting hit, I realized, I was fine and yelled "Let's go" because I was simply, good to go. A lot of shocked faces, but I had to peel the supporter off the NuttyBuddy, but it saved me from a lot of pain and it's the most comfortable cup I've ever worn. My hat's off to the NuttyBuddy. This one's worth it.

Overall great protection - equally as important I can say "Comfort." This is by far more comfortable that the "banana" style protectors.

Originally used a Shock Doctor. Then, I left my jockstrap at home, so I got this as my main cup and use SD as backup in the car. This is so much more comfortable. Haven't taken a shot, but this thing is hard as a rock. I feel like that scene in Super Troopers where Mac tests the bulletproof cup!

This is my second cup that I've bought. There is no other like it. I've been hit while working the plate at men's league and did not feel any pain other than the fact I knew I was hit. I finished the game and had no bruising at all. I love this NuttyBuddy.

I was working with a guy wearing a NuttyBuddy this summer. Kid crosses up the catcher and he takes a lower 80s fastball right in the cookies. It sounded like a gun went off. Guy never stepped away from the plate. That sold me!!!!

Quite simply the best $30 I've ever spent.....Only had the NuttyBuddy about four games when I took a foul shot straight back in a senior game that hit me so hard, my first thought was 'I'm on my way to the hospital...' After picking myself up off the ground I realized I wasn't hurt.....but I definitely should have been. While getting changed at the end of the game I took off my NuttyBuddy and saw that the ball had hit it so hard that the fabric was actually stuck directly to the cup. I won't get behind the plate again without it. Awesome product!

Best cup I have ever had! I took a direct shot this past weekend and the protection is unbelievable. The NuttyBuddy is worth it's weight in gold!!!

I haven't had a true test (no hurry) yet but VERY COMFORTABLE!!!! Great piece of equipment I'm glad I have.

Worth every penny after I took a 70+ mph direct deflection off the dish. Pressure, yes, but no doubling over, crying for Mommy. It works awesomely!

As an umpire for 38+ years, can truly say, "where have you been for all my life?" It is much more comfortable than the traditional cup, not to mention the protection it affords. I up-sized (Trophy, rather than the Hog), thinking that bigger is better. No issues; it just looks like I'm excited all the time. I also play in a co-ed senior softball league; the women are curious. You know us guys have been embellishing size for years. Seriously though, I feel braver that if I 'catch" one, that I won't be singing soprano. Great product!!

The NuttyBuddy should be the FIRST piece of protective equipment any umpire purchases. It is by far, the best decision I've made regarding the protection of "the boys." The review above which describes the difficulty a user had inserting into the pouch of a regular cup/supporter and his inability to get a good fit is strictly because the Nutty Buddy isn't designed to fit INSIDE a cup/supporter pocket. It is designed to fit OVER one's underwear or spandex shorts, and UNDER a plain jockstrap. It was designed to "float" and "move" with the wearer, making it comfortable, as well as keeping it right where it is supposed to be. It is SO comfortable I don't even feel it when I'm moving behind the plate AND when I'm working the bases. I wear it for both umpiring positions. I've taken a few foul balls directly into the NuttyBuddy, and have come up smiling. My partners who have witnessed this have gotten their own NuttyBuddy after seeing how well I have been protected on balls that would normally drop an umpire to his knees. If you wear your NuttyBuddy the way it was designed, you'll never do another game without it.

I bought this at the beginning of the baseball season. I have to say this is THE best cup I have ever worn. Once you get it on, it almost "disappears" it is so comfortable. You literally don't remember you are wearing a cup until...you need it. Great comfort, great protection and definitely worth the price. I would recommend this to every umpire.

I just purchased the NuttyBuddy and am most happy with this piece of protective equipment. I have viewed the video and all the other information about it. I will use no other type of protective cup again as this one is so superior to all others. Highly Recommend this product and for the price well worth it.

Hands down the best cup ever created. I've taken more than my fair share of shots to the cup over the years. I have well over 1,300 games at high levels under my belt and I will never go back to the traditional cup. Probably one of the best investments you can make.

I love this cup, I wore it for the first time this weekend and seems so much more comfortable than my standard shock doctor cup.

A fellow umpire shared an experience with me about how he had taken a foul ball below where a normal cup ends. He was told about the NuttyBuddy and suggested that I watch the video. I ordered mine the next day and have worn it over 100 times in the past year. This is by far the most comfortable cup I have ever worn. When I come out from behind the plate and have to move into position in the infield, I can't even tell I have the thing on. It is that comfortable. A little tip that may help, wear the cup/strap over your tights and the. Put compression shorts/padded shorts on top of it and you will be good to go.

This product works and is comfortable.

I am so glad to see that Ump-Attire.com is carrying the NuttyBuddy. It is by far the best athletic cup I have ever worn. I switched to it about 4 years ago and I will never go back to a conventional cup. It is comfortable, stays in place when worn properly, and is very protective. I hate it when I do not have it with me and have to call a game protected by something else.

I have tried several other protective cups and each has failed me in some way. I even finished a game with a collapsed cup. This NuttyBuddy Really Protects the Twins! This should be required equipment for all players and Umpires. As news of the NuttyBuddy gets around, it will make all other testicle protection obsolete!
