The Athletic Cup is a hard groin guard worn by players of contact sports. It is protective gear for the groin. It sits in the Underwear Bottom slot and blocks every bite and scratch that lands there.
Its strength is complete cover for a small but real target. Its cost is comfort. It is one of the more uncomfortable things to wear, and it slows running a little.
The cup turns up in jockey changing rooms, sports stores, pawn shops and survivor safehouses. Research Craft on it teaches how to sew a leather codpiece. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The cup stops all bites and all scratches on the groin. A zombie that reaches that spot does no harm while it is worn.
The price is felt every step. Running speed drops by about 3 percent. Discomfort rises by a fifth, which wears on the wearer's mood over a long day. It suits dangerous trips more than quiet days at base.
It takes the Underwear Bottom slot, so it replaces briefs, boxers or other underwear bottoms. Pants and skirts go on over it as usual.
Tailoring
The cup can get holes when it takes damage. Research Craft on it teaches Sew Leather Codpiece. That recipe lets a survivor sew a groin guard from leather.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Athletic Cup and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The best place to look is a locker in a jockey changing room. Survivor safehouses of every age hold one in dressers and wardrobes fairly often, and in boxes and crates less often. Closets, pawn shops, sports stores and baseball stores turn one up now and then.
