Counterfeit Athletic Cups: Why Fake Protection Puts Athletes at Risk
A counterfeit version of the lobloo® cup has been removed from the market after infringing on our patented design. We're sharing this to raise awareness — because fake athletic protection isn't just a legal issue. It's a safety issue.
Why Counterfeit Athletic Cups Are Dangerously Different
These copies may look similar, but they are dangerously different. Made from low-quality, untested plastic, they can't withstand pressure or impact and offer no real protection. On top of the poor construction, there's no way of knowing what chemical risks they may pose to your body. We also discovered that the rough, fixed edge is unhygienic and not skin-friendly.
Why lobloo® Was Created — and What It Stands For
lobloo® was created by athletes, for athletes. We built it because we needed it ourselves — protection that moves with you and stays out of your way.
We spent nearly a decade refining every detail, which led to our patented fitting system. It moves with your body and stays in place.
How to Choose Safe, Certified Protection
If you're searching for cheaper options, make sure they're from an original brand. Make sure they can prove what they promise. Look for some form of certification. This isn't like choosing a t-shirt. Athletic cups aren't regulated the same way helmets are — which is exactly why you need to know what you're buying.
A low blow can mean permanent injury, for all genders. We don't compromise on that.
This Is About Protection, Not Imitation
This isn't about copying a design or a look. This is about protection. That's not something to compromise on.
