Me: ::packing for TKD:: So I've got my uniform, belt, sparring equipment - this is not my jock strap and cup, though.
Chris: Hey, don't laugh, there are jock straps and cups for women too.
Me: ::laughing:: What?
Chris: Apparently women only find that funny if they've never been canned. It's not as painful as a guy getting canned, but it's still pretty bad.
Me: ::eyeing him suspiciously::
Chris: I'm serious. I've seen them. Female jock straps.
Me: ::still suspicious:: You've... seen them?
Chris: OK, fine, what I saw were actually G-strings. Female jock straps really do exist, though.

They're called jills. And you actually have to wear one if you want to fight in the SCA.

ETA: No, wait, I'm thinking of the cups for women. Oops. But yes, there is a jock strap in order to hold the cup in place. I have one.

Leaper is right! I don't know the collouqial term for them, but I've heard them called a 'pubic arch protector'. Now, if you ever want to take up sword and shield, you know!
