velcro tabs vs. traditional garters

[cause4alarm 7]

How well do velcro tabs hold onto socks? I've heard that they lose their grippiness after a while.

[Chadd 916]

I replace mine every year or so and the velcro is still fine

I've always used velco jock/garter combos, always have held my socks just fine and i've used some of them for years at a time and still going strong after 3-4 times a week, the rest usually wears out before for me so far or i grow out of them...

[cause4alarm 7]

What are you replacing? The velcro?

[Chadd 916]

I replace the whole combo. Usually 12-18 months is enough to have them all worn out and bet to hell.

Garter, hold the socks up much better.

I'v had a jock with the velcro tabs for about 18 months and I haven't had any problems with getting the socks to stick.

Idk if it's the velcro that loses grip as much as your socks getting fuzzed up from being velcroed. I have nvr seen any problems though, and figure you probably go thru a pair of socks pretty often so shouldn't be a prob. I personally don't use the velcro though.

I've been using a Jock + compression short with velcro for 2 years. The product shows no signs of wearing out. The velcro tabs still work perfectly. I always thought the stretch elastic on garter belts eventually gave out.

I fought the concept of Velcro and cup shorts for years, because I figured there was no way the socks would stay up.

I shoulda switched a lot earlier.... :D

Same here! Old dog, new tricks........ Jason, it usually takes a free sample from the sales rep to convince a buyer sometimes!

I have had the yellow itech jock w/ velcro for 2 years and it still works perfect.. I also use a regular jock because thats what I grew up with.. I say the velcro is more convenient and neither one really works better than the other in my opinion.

Agreed. Never would've tried the Flyweight shaft if it weren't for that.

nah, the jock + rep gave me the short and I threw out the old garter belt in no time. Itech lost so much biz in the category, they went and bought Jock + because they were getting hammered across the country. They asked me to kill Shock Doctor, too, but they sell just as well for a few $ more. Cut throat business.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

But they had Jock Plus before...

Old dog here. Traditonal jock and garter. After all, why would any man want to pass up the chance to wear a garter belt? :P

[Jbone 0]

Garter. Always used one, probaly always will.

Is that what those Sockjawz things are?

[devilsrule711 0]

Dig deep in the barrel in the locker room, find old smelly garter. It will cost you 4 cents to use pennies to replace the missing tabs which is why it was in the garbage can. Sorry, no velcros. :lol:
