France coloursBoil and biteEVACase included
The essentials: a boxing mouthguard in the colours of France — blue, white and red running the length of the tray. Boil and bite EVA, moulded at home in a few minutes so it matches your own bite exactly. High puncture resistance, 45 x 56 x 18 mm / 1.8 x 2.2 x 0.7 in. Supplied with its protective case. Free standard delivery.
Wearing your colours counts. At a show, at a regional championship or simply at the club, the tricolour shows every time you open your mouth between rounds. It is the detail coaches, partners and the photographer's lens all pick up.
It also makes a gift that lands for a French boxer: useful, worn at every session, and rarely already owned twice over.
Blue, white and red through the whole tray
The flag is not a logo printed on the front: the three colours run through the material, along the full length of the tray. They do not fade with rinsing or under the friction of teeth, as a surface print would.
Boil and bite: a mould of your own bite
A stock mouthguard floats in the mouth: it shifts, it gets in the way of your breathing and it ends up spat out in the first hard round. This model softens in hot water, moulds onto your teeth, then hardens holding the impression. It stays put without you clenching your jaw to hold it there.
How to mould it
- Prepare a container of boiling water and a bowl of cold water.
- Drop the mouthguard fully into the boiling water for a few seconds, until it softens.
- Lift it out and dip it briefly in the cold water, so it does not burn your mouth.
- Set it on the upper teeth, press it into shape with your thumbs, close the jaw lightly and suck to draw the material tight.
- Take it out and drop it into the cold water to set the impression.
If the mould does not come out right: the process is reversible. Put the mouthguard back into boiling water, the material returns to its original shape and you can start again.
EVA and puncture resistance
EVA is the reference material for mouthguards: soft enough to follow the bite, dense enough to absorb and spread the energy of an impact instead of passing it to the jaw. The high puncture resistance stops an incisor driving through the material on a frontal shot.
Technical specifications
Complete the France kit
The mouthguard pairs naturally with the France boxing shorts for a full tricolour outfit in the ring.
Care and lifespan
- Rinse it in cold water after each session, then let it air dry.
- Never hot water for cleaning: it would soften the material and erase your impression.
- Keep it in its case, never loose at the bottom of a bag.
- Keep it out of a hot car and away from radiators: heat distorts the impression.
- Replace it as soon as it punctures, splits or stops holding in place.

Frequently asked questions
Do the colours fade over time?
No. The blue, white and red run through the material along the full length of the tray, rather than being printed on the surface. They do not fade with rinsing or under the friction of teeth.
How do you mould a boil and bite mouthguard?
Drop it fully into boiling water for a few seconds, dip it briefly in cold water so you do not burn yourself, set it on the upper teeth, press it into shape with your thumbs, close the jaw lightly and suck to draw the material tight. Finish with a dip in cold water to set the impression. The process is reversible if the result is not right.
Is it allowed in competition?
A mouthguard is compulsory in almost every combat sports competition. Some federations do regulate the colour, notably in amateur boxing where red can be ruled out so it is not mistaken for blood. Check your governing body's rules before an official bout; in training and sparring there is no restriction.
Single or double mouthguard?
This is a single: it sits on the upper jaw, leaves the lower jaw free and interferes less with breathing and speech. It is the most common format in boxing. The double protects both jaws, in exchange for more bulk.
How do you clean and store it?
Rinse it in cold water after each session and let it air dry before putting it back in its case. Never use hot water for cleaning: it would soften the material and erase your impression.
Does it make a good gift?
It is one of the safest gifts for a boxer: there is no size to know, since it moulds to the recipient's own bite, it gets replaced regularly so a spare is never wasted, and the colours of France add the personal touch a plain model lacks. It ships in its case.
