SAFEHIP AirX Protective Hip Undergarment

Description

SAFEHIP AirX is a textile hip protector undergarment designed for adults who may be at risk of falls, particularly older adults in home, hospital, nursing home, and aged-care environments. It is intended to help reduce the risk of hip injury by providing targeted protection over the hip area during slips, trips, or falls.

Design and Protective Function

The garment uses AirX spacer fabric and includes sewn-in horse-shoe-shaped hip shields positioned to cover the hip area. These shields are designed to absorb and disperse impact away from the hip joint. Some product information also identifies the shields as soft PE foam, supporting a balance of protection, flexibility, and everyday comfort.

Comfort and Wearability

SAFEHIP AirX is made to be worn discreetly under clothing with a close-fitting, stretch design that supports regular daily use. Reported material composition for some variants is 58% cotton, 36% polyamide, and 6% elastane. The fabric is commonly described as breathable, soft, skin-friendly, and moisture-managing, which can assist with comfort during extended wear. It is also compatible with incontinence products or pads where required.

Sizing and Variants

The product is mainly offered in unisex styles, with confirmed unisex sizes from XS to XL. Some variants are available in larger sizes, and female-specific versions are also listed in some ranges.

Care Information

The garment is machine washable and tumble dryable, supporting routine laundering in care and domestic settings. Reported maximum wash temperatures vary between sources, so laundering should follow the instructions provided on the specific product label or packaging.
