A 15% Discount On the Lobloo Female Groin Guard to 8limbs.us Readers


Recommended Posts

As some may know, after I published my favorable review of the Lobloo Aeroslim Female Groin Guard the company reached out to offer a 15% discount on that particular guard to any of my readers. It already was pretty reasonably priced, but this brings the price down to about $28 including free shipping anywhere in the world, so it's a pretty nice deal. Read my post on what I think about it - in short, its fantastic - and I'd love to hear feedback on it as well. 

The promo code on checkout is: SYLVIE-AEROSLIM

You can find the Aeroslim here.

It looks like this:

Wasn't a deep cut or anything, more like a tear so about a week's recovery I reckon. I've had knees and teeps to the pubic bone before but the pain of those now seem to pale in comparison. I had my knee raised high in a defensive position while clinching and my sparring partner (who panicked) delivered a hard knee right up there. Looking forward to trying the Lobloo - will report back.

I'm wincing at the thought of that pain as I read this. In college I fell while climbing out of the shower and had to get a couple stitches down there; it was horrid. While the nurse was stitching me she told me stories of the two other times she'd done stitches on the lady parts and after hearing about those I felt pretty lucky. Getting split from a knee though... *shudder*.

wooh thanks thanks again Sylvie, just received my lobloo yesterday and tried it yesterday too.

I don't think I would have ever buy a cup protector if it wasn't because of ur review, It feel awesome (Actually I forgot I had it, which is why it was so awesome!) And I'm not scared to get knee during clinch now! 

[it feel funny i'm all about cup ! lobloo and mooncup power haha!]

So my injury was bad for the first two days, but started to feel better on the third day. I'd say after a week I didn't really think about it at all. 

My lobloo arrived just in time for my fight. Despite not having tested it out in training I decided I'd wear it for my fight. Really glad I did because my opponent was short and I remember her throwing two or three hard kicks/knees into that region. All in all, good purchase! Thanks Sylvie for the write-up and discount.

Just when I thought I don't really need one, coz I veeeery rarely get kneed to that region, I recieved three knees in one training. 

Guess I do need one. Will be buying it next month, hopefully the discount will still be valid :)

It arrived today after I left for tghe gym, so I put it on when I got home and shadowboxed in my kitchen. It fits pretty well. I'm aware that it's there, but it doesn't pinch or rub. Knocking on it I can tell it'll absorb impact well. I'll try it in spar tomorrow, though I do need to find one of those spring clasp closures as tying it isn't ideal for me. I'll report back later, though so far I'd say this is a good buy.

Also, I should add I am a size US 8 jean. There is not a lot left on either strap to adjust larger. Depending on your shape, I would guess the original straps would max out at a US 12-14.

This is a good point! The guy who runs the company has been very cool in our communications, so I recommend that women who might need longer straps send a note along with their order - I reckon he could send longer straps if they're needed.

I think it's time I get one of these.. just got cut down there from a knee (yep, cut).

Holy smokes, bbf3! OK, so usually I put my Lobloo on before padwork so I can train in it, keep my hips in, etc. But today I was kind of in a rush to get into padwork and I didn't take the two minutes to run to the bathroom to put it on. In padwork my 70 kg trainer kneed me with a lot of power while I was kicking or kneeing or SOMETHING that meant my leg was up in the air and he railed me right in the lady bits. I fell down, rolled around in total agony, but it was too embarrassing for both of us to actually stop. So, he apologized profusely and we got back to work. Then I had to do, like, 40 minutes of clinching. When I finally got to go check myself in the bathroom I had a cut, like a little split, and it bleeds. Not deep enough to need stitches, but DAMN it stings and that area doesn't really "scab". My groin was so painful for about 7 minutes after the initial strike, then the whole area went numb. Now it just mildly hurts all the time when I'm sitting.

Ladies! Ladies! I will make anyone and everyone wait for me to put my groin guard on from now on.

I was going to "like" that post for the good share, but I couldn't click on it. I have faithfully been wearing mine for spar and clinch, but this makes me want to wear it always. It has been very good at protecting and not being in the way.

Oh my god..sorry to hear this happened to you too! Hopefully the discomfort will go away by the end of the week. Yep, I remember dropping to the ground too..the only time I have ever been speechless. On the bright side, it really conditioned me for hits to that region..I barely give it a second thought now when someone accidentally teeps or even lands a knee there that's not as hard as the one that cut me  :teehee:

You can order it directly from the Lobloo website and they ship anywhere worldwide for free... including Canada :)

OH WOW! I did not notice that! That is awesome, I'm glad they do worldwide shipping for free! Conversion isn't too bad either, hurray!

    • These are photos of Sino-Thai gym owner and promoter Tankee, Chaiyut's father, in the 1940s (also via Lev)  
    • The Development of Muay Thai in the Siamese Populace An interesting point about the corvee system of labor (established 1518) in the same work, is that it tied the population not only to the land, but also to the proto-state, in terms of movement. This rotation between one's land and state works, which included military service, would ostensibly train an outlying populace in warfare, circulating them back into their villages, so trained. This would work as a dissemination process of martial skills, as returning men themselves could train youth. If indeed (gambled) festival fighting throughout the village networks existed for centuries, developing a practice of inclusion/exclusion, this would account for a steady State driven effulgence that did not require a learning process of actual warfare (though slave labor capture campaigns were regular). It makes an interesting contrasted: a circulating farming populace continually training on rotation, and practicing that training in festival fighting, landed, and a far reaching and mobile non-Thai (Chinese, and others) merchant class, that transversed the region. The landed circulation of corvee work would augment my own thoughts that martial prowess also developed in general raiding patterns outside of the proto-states and their fortified capitals.    
    • In the early 20th century there was concern over the "revolutionary" identity shift among Chinese in Phuket. Most of the Chinese had cut off their cues (long, traditional ponytail). Reading now The Crown and the Capitalists: The Ethnic Chinese and the Founding of the Thai Nation to get a better perspective on Siamese/Thai and Ethnic Chinese relations as they shifted through the decades of the 20th century.   During WW2, when Thailand had allied itself with Japan (which had invaded China), there was still fear that China would use its rather vast nationalized Chinese education system (if I understand it right) within Thailand, to possibly turn Thailand into a Chinese colony. Chinese in Thailand were educated AS Chinese, and to some regard taken to be Chinese citizens, even though Thailand considered them Thai. Thailand in this case had a large number of transnational citizenry, whose alliance was not known.

    • In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own.  2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally. Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season.  One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here). Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs. I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Action+Zone/@13.7474264,100.5206774,17z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!2sAction+Zone!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2!3m5!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
    • Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training.

    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!
