tjansen Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I am using my first ever wetsuit for swimming in a pool. It is tight in the crotch and tends to 'displace' the nuts up into the groin, especially when it is cold. I am thinking a groin protector cup would help. Any suggestions or ideas would be useful. The material of the wetsuit is 90% neoprene, 10% nylon. I have seen suggestions to alter the suit with neoprene and glue and don't know how that would work. I live in Ratchaburi Province and would like to know the best source for any suggestions, e.g. -Exactly what cup would be recommended. There is a very large selection on the internet. I think if I could get one by mail within Thailand it would be good, but only if someone could recommend a good choice. -If modifying the suit is recommended, where would I get the materials and any guidelines to use. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I am kind of counting on the wetsuit for continuing to swim in an outdoor pool during cold season. My body becomes a bit stressed after 30-45 minutes of swimming in cold water. Thanks a lot, in advance, for any ideas. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polpott Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 A cold pool in Thailand? Never in my experience, always too warm for me. Failing that, cut a hole in the wetsuit and let your nuts hang free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mai mee Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) If you need to keep your nuts in place, get a soft "Athletic supporter". If your suit is tight enough to displace your nuts, and you put a hard cup ( which are designed to protect you from blows to the groin like in boxing or hockey or American football) inside a tight neoprene suit it will stand out like a turd in a punchbowl and people will stare at you and not in a good way... like stuffing a potato in the front of your speedos. People are gonna take one look and RUN! Go the soft route. Also, as someone who's worn hard cups a lot in different sports, you're not going to be happy trying to swim with a cup on.
