Finally, I tested the Original Banana Cup. This cup lives up to the recommendation from International Jock. It is the biggest, roomiest cup in my collection. Since my biggest concern with the other cups was "ball room", I was anxious to see how this cup compared. Frankly, there's no comparison; ball room was finally NOT an issue. All in all, my entire package felt quite comfortable under this cup.
Due to the size of the cup, the comfort between the legs was a little bit different. It never got irritating (but I only wore it for about 8 hours), though I could certainly tell a difference in girth at the base. A fair trade-off, I suppose, given the depth of the cup.
As for the material of the jock itself, this is definately not them most comfortable jock. I found the leg straps to be almost abrasive to the touch. Once I had the jock on (and the cup in place) it didn't seem to matter, but the straps were definately more coarse in my hands than the other jocks. The pouch, while not as smooth as some of the others, was comfortable.
I can see why many college athletes like this brand; it is certainly more easy to fit your package into the cup than the other brands.
It is intesting to note the different materials and weaves that the various manufacturers have chosen to use.
