FAQs
Q. How do Kookaburra Jock Straps differ from standard athletic supporters?
A. Kookaburra Jock Straps are specifically engineered for cricket with a specialized pocket designed to precisely position a cricket protector box. The pocket dimensions, angle, and elasticity are optimized for the unique movements of cricket, maintaining protection during the deep forward stretches of batting, explosive movements of bowling, and dynamic fielding positions. Standard athletic supporters lack this cricket-specific box retention system.
Q. Should I wear these jock straps with or without additional underwear?
A. Kookaburra Jock Straps are designed to be worn as the primary undergarment without additional underwear. Wearing them over regular underwear can create uncomfortable bunching and compromise the secure positioning of your protective box. For players who prefer additional coverage, specialized cricket compression shorts with box pockets are a better alternative than combining jock straps with standard underwear.
Q. How do I determine the correct size for optimal protection?
A. Measure your waist circumference at the point where you typically wear your cricket whites. Select the size that corresponds to this measurement, keeping in mind that the waistband should feel snug but not restrictive. If you fall between sizes, it's generally advisable to size down rather than up, as the elastic will relax slightly with use and washing. Proper sizing ensures the box remains correctly positioned during dynamic movements.
Q. How often should I replace my cricket jock straps?
A. Most professional cricketers replace their jock straps every season to ensure optimal elasticity and support. Club and recreational players should consider replacement when they observe significant stretching of the waistband, degradation of the stitching, or when the box pocket no longer securely holds the protective cup in position. With regular washing and proper care, a quality jock strap typically maintains its functional properties for approximately 50-60 playing days.
