At what age should little boys start to use cups when practicing sports? Are those used with underwear?

Question

My five years old think it is uncomfortable.
By a widow and curious/worried mother.

Answer 1

whenever he actually fills the cup...or plays in a league where the ball is moving fast enough that it might actually hurt...til then ....let him go...maybe he'll learn through experience

Answer 2

Since body odor is linked to puberty, the first step is determining if they have started puberty. Keep in mind that girls typical start puberty between the ages of 8 and 13, while boys start when they are between 9 and 14 years old. Controlling Body Odor Whether or not they are starting puberty, if they have a 'very strong body odor,' then you want to help them control it. In addition to considering using a deodorant, you might make sure that they practice these general personal hygiene basics, including that they: -take a daily bath or shower -take their bath or shower in the morning, so that there are fewer bacteria on their skin to make their sweat smell -take another bath or shower after activities and sports when they sweat a lot -actually wash with soap and a washcloth all over, including their armpits, genitals, and feet, when they take a bath or shower -wear clean underwear, socks, and other clothes each day -wear loose fitting cotton clothing that may help them to sweat less watch their diet to see if something they are eating, like garlic, onions, or spicy food, is causing, or at least contributing, to the BO You might also change the brand of soap they are using and even consider using an antibacterial deodorant soap, like Dial. If these tips don't stop the BO, you may have to consider using a deodorant already. Since there aren't any deodorants that are designed for children at this age, you might consider using one for pre-teens or teens. And you could probably talk to your Pediatrician about this too.

Answer 3

weeeeeeeeeeeeee all thought they were uncomfy. but its something we men gotta live with if we want to play ball.

5 is probably a bit young because they aren't hitting the ball that hard just yet ..but if they are playing soccer or a sport other than baseball-they should have them even at 5.

when the kids get into the older leagues-starting in the 9 and up ranger-the refs will ACTUALLY (in baseball that is) before the game go and tap the players there (with the end of a baseball bat) to make sure they hear a cup-no cup = no playing.

the coaches for football make sure they little ones have them before as well.

Answer 4

as a mom of 3 boys i would say if the coach gave it to him then he wants it worn i would ask the coach if its necessary at his age remember everything new to use is uncomfortable till we get used to it remember your first bra
