Male vs. Female I just ordered a jacket and lame, but I failed to specify I was male. I didn't get the shipment yet, but my online invoice has registered the jacket and lame as female. Is there a large difference between the male and female versions? Or are they basically the same? I ordered a Blue Gauntlet Cotton/Nylon Front Zipper Jacket and Uhlmann Foil Lame.

Female jackets are cut dufferently to allow for...a couple of things. Primarily, they have darts underneath the breasts to allow for room for them

Boob cups. Is that the official name?  Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and its all organized by the Swiss.

The fencing ladies in our club (who were the leadership and regularly skewered all male competition for about three years running) always referred to them as "hubcaps."
c'est un peu amusant.
As for the lame, if you didn't specify, you'll probably get male. But if you feel the urge to pad, call your vendor. ------------------------------------ PGE ={}= Baylor Fencing Comment Me No Comments

Look at any women's dress shirt, most dresses, and anything that is tight fitting while not being stretchy, and you are quite likely to see darts.

I've always thought they were called headlights... "Since when does being a patriot in America mean shutting your mouth?"

Not that I would ever dream of using any of these un-PC terms, or even snicker appreciatively should someone else do so, some of the ones I have heard are:
Amazon Cups
Valkerie Cups
Headlights
Hubcaps
BulletProof Boobies
Saber Saucers
Frisbees
Titanium Titty Guards
I am sure there are more I have not heard of yet! Just another lost soul saved by the (hit) First Church of EPEE!

All of these nicknames for breast protectors and I have yet to hear one for a male's cup. Not just in this thread, but everywhere else too. I object to that and will call my cup my 'launchpad' from now on. The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon.
