Looking for equipment suggestion

[Jonathan]

When I say 'equipment', I'm specifically referring more to attire. The shorts I wear to the gym tend to be... how should I say... loose around the legs. The last thing I want to do is inadvertently advertise, if you take my meaning.

So, are there 'compression' shorts/MMA shorts or pants that you would suggest that I can just wear under them? I've tried looking around typical sporting goods stores, but I've got a feeling I'll have to go online.

Any insight/suggestions would be appreciated!

Board shorts are basically the grappling "standard"

There are ones custom made for grappling:

or you can just buy a pair just about anywhere, not as strong as the custom ones but definately do the job.

If you want tighties to go under what you got, any tight fitting shorts should do it. Bike shorts perhaps?

There's a piece of sporting equipment designed, in part, especially to prevent such an accident...

It's commonly available, and probably is something you oughta be wearing any way.

An athletic supporter. Not a fan club -- a jock strap.

The compression shorts should also help; several brands are available in Dick's Sporting Goods, and many other places.

(No... I couldn't resist naming a particular store, for some reason...)

I have a pair of Under Armour compression shorts. I got them at Sports Authority. I don't know if you got those where you live.
