Safehip AirX Hip Pad Hip Protector Underwear

While hip fractures are one of the most common and dangerous injuries for the elderly, it can be difficult to find a reliable method of protection that isn't inconvenient or cumbersome. The Safehip AirX Hip Pad Hip Protector Underwear are designed to provide the user with wearable hip protection that goes everywhere they do – providing powerful and discreet protection that can change lives with a combination of comfortable materials and protective padding.

Who Should Use the Safehip Hip Protector Underwear?

Hip fractures are exceedingly dangerous for the elderly, as they can lead to the need for operations, an extended stay in hospital, and a long and gruelling recovery process.
