I cannot express my frustration that you would deem $30.00 expensive.

There is no piece of equipment over here for less than €50.00, nothing!
Thats roughly $75.00!

Everlast.com do a few compression shorts also I believe.

I got these guys for $55.... full grain leather, the Grant quality and name, etc.

Very reasonably priced.

Alright. When I saw the title not ever hearing the term 'compression shorts' it brought some funny images to mind. haha But you all seem to know about them and I clearly don't. So what's the deal?

I wear a combo kidney protector, jock. Is this just the short with the cup, or what is it? Is it better? I mean, I got my protection for cheap from my club. I think was only about $35 and I know I get uber cheap deals but, help a brotha out...

Compression shorts are often used by the MMA guys to avoid injury to the groin, hips, upper thigh etc.
The cup is just inserted into a pouch at the front of the shorts.

I'm not going to wear a cup anymore, I took a few bad shots that very extremely painful, so its time to invest in a top class protector.
