How to buy football girdle with built in pads

Step 1

For starters you have to find your size around your waist (nike makes sizes extra small, too 2XL). You could measure this with a tape measure and bring the measurements to the store. Keep in mind if you prefer things tighter or looser, depending or your personal preference. I have purchased a size that was just a little big because the Nike Pro Combat girdle tends to shrink just a bit. Also note that trying these on in a store to get the right fit.It would be a good idea since they do cost a decent amount of money. If you try them on you may have a correct size and can just find them cheaper online.

Step 2

Once you have tried them on, try pulling them down and moving the hip pads around. If they are sliding and moving around very easily, you should consider trying the next lowest size on. You want the girdle to be snug around your waist and hips, you don't want someone to pull them down in a game or worry about readjusting them every second.

Step 3

Find the best deal and shop around. www.eastbay.com is a very good website and always have good deals going on. I also wouldn't recommend buying a used par due to skin infections or other skin
