HipSaver EasyFit TailBone is made from white in colour moisture wicking polycotton fabric with spandex for stretch. The white fabric is stain resistant and its special moisture wicking fibres ensure optimum dryness even in presence of urine leakage.

HipSavers are easy to look after and durable. They are ‘Wash, Dry and Go’ garments, which means that HipSavers are fully machine washable at 95° C high temperatures and can be tumble dried on medium heat till dry and ready to wear. Compatibility with high temperature wash at 95° C is essential, when HipSavers are used in care homes or hospitals, where washing at high temperatures is a requirement of strict hygiene and infection prevention regulations.

Please note that the protective HipSaver airPads are permanently sewn into the garment in the areas over the hips. The airPads are watertight and machine washable at high 95 °C temperatures. You do not remove the airPads from the garment prior to washing as it is fully washable at 95° C and can be tumble dried at medium heat.  

Most people require 3 pairs of HipSavers – one pair worn, one in a wash and one ready to wear. People with a very high degree of incontinence may require more than 3 garments, depending on the frequency of garment changes and laundry availability.  

Fabric composition: 46% polyester, 46% cotton, 8% Spandex. HipSavers are Latex free! 

HipSaver EasyFit TailBone Soft Hip Protector is unisex and available in 6 sizes for snug fit and comfort. 

To measure for appropriate HipSaver size, you need to measure around for the hip – the circumference measurement around the body at the level of the upper thighs (trochanter areas). The trochanter area can be recognised easily as it moves, when a person raises a knee up in a standing position.  

Please note that HipSaver Hip Protectors are single user personal protective garments.

HipSaver EasyFit TailBone Soft Hip Protector - the best choice of wrap around hip protection with added benefits of coccyx pad for protection during backward falls.
