Peace of Mind
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. While common-sense protection like seatbelts, motorcycle helmets and life jackets are seen as essentials, safety for hip protection is often needlessly neglected. The Safehip AirX Underwear is designed to provide this much-needed protection, allowing the elderly the peace of mind to carry on an active and social lifestyle.
Breathable Comfort
This pair of underwear is designed to provide the same comfort as a high-end alternative – with extra protection built in. They are made with AirX spacer fabric technology, which is a breathable, soft and skin-friendly material that keeps the wearer cool and comfortable all day long. Flexible while preventing moisture build-up, AirX Underwear provides comfortable wear, all day long.
Discreet Protection
Since this underwear is made with a high elastane content, it naturally conforms to the body to provide a discreet and ideal fit. The shields are designed to follow the contours of the body, ensuring they won't look out of place under clothes so protection is provided without changing the user's appearance.

In fact, in clinical trials conducted on more than 7,000 users around the world, Safehip AirX Underwear was proven to reduce hip fractures from falls by 64%!
