Roger,

We are sorry to hear that your compression shorts are not holding up for you. When did you purchase them?

If it has been less than 6 months, we would be happy to replace them for you as they should not tear.

The cup pocket should accommodate the cup that came with it. We put the cup pocket on the inside of the shorts so the protective cup can be held as snuggly against the body as possible to provide the maximum amount of protection.

When you wash your shorts, do you wash the cup with it?

Please let us know if you would like to proceed with replacement compression shorts.

If so, I'll need some more information from you.

Thank you for contacting us Roger.

Sincerely,
Shock Doctor, Inc.

I do appreciate your willingness to make things right, but I must admit to being an un-meticulous record-keeper and full-time procrastinator. While I probably did purchase them within the past 6 months, I almost assuredly discarded the receipt immediately, wore the pants 6 or 7 times, stopped wearing them after the ripping, wrote the letter and then waited a good 5 months before taking the picture/actually sending you the message.

In this case, the snugness caused pinching (for lack of a better word). My suggestion would be a looser mesh pouch with a slightly wider cup. This would allow for some play between the mesh and cup and maintain enclosure for the appropriate parts as it were. As I am a goalie and can't easily adjust these things during game play, I have (as I'm sure you can tell) spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about these things. (I was wearing the pants/cup in addition to a goalie cup.)

I removed the cup when washing the pants.

Roger,

I definitely am going to pass along your feedback about the mesh pocket to our product developer.

We would be happy to send you a new pair if you would like.

Please let us know how you would like us to proceed.

Oh, I took them up on their offer. That's a score right there. And further proof that it pays to be a jackass. You might get a pair of spandexy hockey pants out of it.

mega rich

Mega rich in experience, my friends.

Contrary to popular belief, it was almost as if the casinos WANT/RIG IT so that you lose. I mean, WTF Vegas?

Anyway, I've come to the horrible realization that I might be like 98th percentile of annoyingest people in the world. We were at the Main Street Station having a great run of cards in blackjack and it kind of hit me. Maybe it was the drunkenness, the foul odor or the fact that I was singing excerpts of The Four Tops's Bernadette to our dealer, namely Bernadette. (This was re-mixed in the the "Bust" song we had devised to sing whenever the dealer busted.) I'm convinced if I met me I would probably hate me - at least for a while.

These were fun times my friends. And not only all that, but we also got comped a meal at the little brewpub in the casino. Booyah.

So, I'm back and ready to annoy the whole world again, rather than just Vegas.
