I bruise easy, I am a klutz, and I have seriously frozen my ears, so I wear the head gear and keep them safe. Plus, the guys I train with wear cups, so I don't really care about bumping them with my ears. I vote for the Brute Shockwave too!

I've become very comfortable with the draining process and routinely carry syringes and alcohol pads in my training bag. While an ear is "hot" (sore, puffy, or has been drained within a few days) I will wear headgear. I really like the Brute Shockwave-- it's comfortable, easily adjustable, and slightly padded with neoprene inside and out, for the comfort of the wearer and the opponent. I machine wash it every time I wear it. The good news is, if you cauli up, you can drain it yourself, and if you do religiously, the cauli effect goes away. Neither of my ears looks abnormal, hooray!
