Youper Boys Padded Sliding Shorts with Soft Athletic Cup (White/Black 2-Pack, X-Small) — Moisture-Wicking, Four-Way Stretch

Youper Boys Youth Padded Sliding Shorts are padded compression shorts with an included soft foam athletic cup and cup pocket for lightweight, breathable protection during baseball, football, lacrosse and other contact sports.

Designed for active boys who need extra coverage without sacrificing comfort, these sliding shorts combine moisture-wicking, four-way stretch fabric with quilted sponge padding in the hips and thighs. The package includes a soft, lightweight protective cup that slips into an internal pocket, so players can slide, sprint, and pivot freely while still shielding sensitive areas from impact and abrasion.

How do these shorts stay comfortable during long games?

The shorts use a soft, four-way stretch fabric that moves with the body and pulls moisture away to reduce sweat buildup and irritation. The elastic waistband and ergonomic cut keep the shorts in place so there’s less adjusting during play.

• Moisture-wicking textile minimizes clamminess and chafing
• Four-way stretch allows full range of motion
• Elastic stretch waistband for a secure, snug fit
• Soft hand feel to reduce skin irritation and rashes

What kind of protection does the soft cup and padding provide?

The included soft foam athletic cup is lined with padding and moisture-wicking fabric to cushion impacts while staying lightweight and less obtrusive than a hard cup. Quilted sponge panels at the hips and thighs protect against abrasion when sliding or falling.

• Soft foam cup absorbs and disperses impact forces
• Internal cup pocket keeps the cup securely positioned
• Quilted sponge side panels shield thighs and glutes from scrapes
• Field-tested design for common youth sports movements

Which sports and activities are these shorts suited for?

These padded sliding shorts are versatile for many contact and sliding sports where hip or groin protection helps confidence and safety. They work well as an alternative to a rigid cup for players who prefer softer, more flexible protection.

• Baseball and softball for sliding into bases
• Football and lacrosse for contact plays and tackles
• MMA, boxing, or practice sessions where mobility matters
• Any active training that benefits from light impact protection

How do I choose the right size and care for the shorts?

Pick the size that matches the player’s waist measurement for a secure fit; the elastic waistband compensates for small fluctuations. Machine wash on a gentle cycle and air-dry to preserve the foam cup and quilted padding.

• Size guide (waist): X-Small 20–22", Small 22–24", Medium 24–26"
• Insert the included cup into the interior pocket before play
• Wash gently and line dry to extend fabric and foam life
• Inspect cup and seams periodically for wear or damage

Who is this for: These Youper padded sliding shorts are aimed at youth athletes and parents who want dependable, comfortable protection for sliding and contact sports without the bulk of a hard cup. They suit boys who prefer lightweight, soft-cup protection while playing baseball, football, lacrosse, or participating in contact drills and training sessions.
