Good on their own, but together, crap
The compression shorts are comfortable, fit well, and keep everything together nicely. You know, where it all should be. The cup is solid, but flexible, and breathable. But when you actually put the cup inside the pocket on the compression shorts... you have to wonder what the people at Shock Doctor were thinking.
First of all, the pocket for the cup is OUTSIDE of the compression shorts. So when the cup is inserted, it just kind of floats there above your junk. It's not very snug, not very tight. Lo and behold, the first time I was kicked while wearing the cup/shorts combo, it pinched something fierce and scared me for my future progeny.
There is a quick fix: if you wear the cup in a jock underneath the shorts then all is well. It works quite nicely this way. But that entails buying a jock. Which was not my intention in buying this combo in the first place.
shorts alone are great, cup is poorly designed
When I bought these I already owned a couple pairs of the UnderArmour version. As much as I love UA products, I decided to order these, the shorts themselves are great, the fit me very well, a little looser than the UA but no big deal. The cup however, terrible design. It's very narrow, and tapers to a point (towards the bottom) don't have to try these on to know why that's a problem. I put the cup I was already using in and it fits much better, but the cup pocket is cut to accommodate the other one so it's not a great fit and it tends to move around very loosely (a little freedom is nice but that's not what this is)

Nice Shorts
I have a couple pairs of these Shock Doctor Compression Shorts with cup. I really like the way the shorts fit. I bought them for Tae Kwon Do sparring. I like them so much that I also wear them for extra support while snowboarding. The tight elastic fit means they ride up a lot less than normal underwear, though they do occasionally require minor adjustments. The only complaint I have is the way the cup fits. Maybe I am just shaped weird, but the cup does not fit as tight as I would prefer. Regardless of the loose fit, it still does its job and I can completely forget about it during matches. Overall, I think the shorts are a great buy.
Not good for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu
Get the Shock Doctor Ultra Supporter instead. These compression shorts push the cup up so that it ends up resting on my groin instead of protecting it. It became such a problem that I just decided to pull the cup out (only had the compression shorts on). However, the shorts for some reason keeps pinching on my groin skin. It makes it very difficult to do arm bars, and even hold half guard. I also have had the Ultra Supporter for the past year which worked excellent. Now I'm sorry I decided to switch to the shorts.
Very comfortable
Shorts are very comfortable and the produce quality seems very good. I'm wearing the shorts for MMA training - I haven't had the shorts for too long and the cup does seem to float a bit (not a big deal - just readjust) - I purchased two pairs originally and am likely to purchase another pair.
