As a woman with some (albeit limited) experience with fencing, I've found that those little cups that fit inside fencing jackets are worse than useless. Perhaps it's just that the loan jackets available didn't fir me very well, but I found that I was much more likely to get bruised by the a foil hitting a cup and the edge of the cup digging into me than by a foil hitting my breast through a jacket without cups. Moulded plastic breast-plates, on the other hand, offered real protection.
