Finding the RIGHT Equipment

  FEMALE athletes and Sports

Female athletes are growing in numbers across all sports and at earlier ages than ever before.  As many have found out the hard way, finding equipment that fits and protects the woman athlete is not an easy task.  The female athlete is forced to 'fit' into what historically has been available to them which is the equipment made for the male athlete.  More and more manufacturer's and forward thinking individuals have put forth efforts to provide protective and effective equipment made for the female athlete over recent years.  

In many sports, females are not required to wear as much or the same equipment as their male counterparts.  And traditionally it has been the lack of head and facial protection.  As crazy as this sounds to us, it is true.  One would think protecting women's faces would be the highest priority! However, the absence of a 'requirement' doesn't mean that common sense and proactiveness should be discarded.  As history is the best means of education, in time these too will become requirements as more and more documentation and injuries occur that provoke a reassessment of the 'requirement'.  

With the lack of head gear in many sports such as lacrosse, field hockey, etc., women who do wear the traditionally purchased store bought boil and bite mouthguards have to clench their teeth or bite down on the mouthguard to keep it in their mouths.  This not only prohibits breathing properly and minimizes oxygen intake when competing but also significantly reduces the ability to communicate during the game or event.  In addition, with the poor fit of store bought mouthguards, the female athlete is increasingly exposed to risk of injury as the mouthguard tends to be shifted and floated within the mouth in an effort to breathe and communicate.  This scenario creates an unsafe situation for when there is expected or unexpected contact with the athlete.

When it comes to mouthguards, female athletes will no longer have to try and use youth models or mens' xtra small sizes in hopes to get a satisfactory 'fit'.  The Click N' Fit Custom Mouthguard is made specifically and perfectly for the individual female athelete's dental structure for an exact comfortable fit -- clicking up onto the teeth.  This is truely the female athlete's mouthguard -- Clicks IN and Stays IN!
