Size chart & fit guide
Diamond MMA Size Chart
Size every Diamond MMA jock, short and brief by your waist, measured just above the hips. Not your pant size. Athletic cups come in Youth and Adult, and most athletes move to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15.
Start here
How do I measure for a jock or compression short?
It takes about a minute with a soft tape measure.
Find your natural waist
It's just above your hip bones, usually a little above your belly button.
Measure around
Wrap the tape around your body, level and snug, but not tight. Don't go by your pant size.
Match the chart
Find your waist in the chart for your product. Weight ranges are there to help if you're on the line.
Athletic cups
What size athletic cup do I need?
Our athletic cup comes in two sizes. Both use the same polycarbonate shell and soft rubber elastomer rim. Pick the one that covers fully without pinching at the edges.
| Cup | Length | Width | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth | 5.5" | 3" | 2" |
| Adult | 6.75" | 4" | 2.25" |
When to move up: most athletes move from the youth cup to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15, depending on body type. If the youth cup no longer covers everything, it's time.

Questions
Sizing questions
How should an athletic cup fit?
It should cover everything, sit flat against your body and stay put when you run or squat. If it gaps at the edges or pinches, try the other size.
Should I go by my pant size?
No. Measure around your natural waist, just above the hips. Pant sizes vary by brand and usually sit lower on the body.
When should a youth athlete move to the adult cup?
Most athletes move from the youth cup to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15, depending on body type. If the youth cup no longer covers everything, it's time to size up.
Can I get a youth cup with an adult jock?
Yes. Our adult Systems let you choose the adult or youth cup, which works well for teens and smaller-framed athletes.
What if I'm between sizes?
Athletes with bigger thighs or glutes usually size up. Leaner builds may like the smaller size for a closer fit. Exchanges are free if you need to swap.
What if it doesn't fit?
Exchanges are free on every order. You can also return it within 30 days of delivery. Start through our returns portal.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear an athletic cup with it?
No. The Compression Brief has no cup pocket and isn’t designed to be worn with a cup. It’s a supportive brief for training and sports that don’t require a cup. If you need a cup, check out our Jock Collection.
What size compression brief should I get?
Measure around your natural waist, just above the hips, and match it to the size guide: Small 28–30", Medium 31–33", Large 34–36", X Large 37–40", 2XL 41–44". Between sizes? Size down for more compression and support, or size up for a more relaxed everyday fit.
What is a hybrid boxer brief?
It’s two layers in one. A supportive brief is built inside, with a double-layered pouch and gusset, and a compression short is built around it. You get the support of a brief with the snug, no-bunch fit of a compression short, without wearing two separate pieces.
How long is the leg?
The outer compression short has a 5.5" inseam, so it stays put under shorts, sweats or training gear without riding up.
Is it good for training?
Yes. It’s built for lifting, running, jiu jitsu, team sports and any workout where you want groin support but don’t need a cup. The 4-way stretch fabric moves with you and wicks sweat.
Which brief should I get?
None of our briefs have a cup pocket, and none are made to be worn with a cup. They’re supportive briefs for when you need groin support but not a cup. The difference is what’s built around the brief.
Sports Boxer Brief: Your everyday boxer brief, with a double-layered flyless pouch and a 5" inseam. Wear it on its own, or as a base layer under the Quad Strap Jock or 3 in 1 Hockey Garter Belt.
Compression Boxer Brief: A compression short with a brief built inside. The inner brief gives you support, and the outer compression short keeps everything from bunching under your gear.
Performance Short With Built-In Brief: Our Performance Short with the same built-in brief inside. Wear it as your outer short. It ends just above the knee.
