HipSaver SlimFit TailBone: Hip and Coccyx Protection Made Easy
HipSaver Soft Hip Protectors are now available across the UK through our direct services and the NHS Supply Chain in England, Wales, and Scotland.
The HipSaver SlimFit TailBone Soft Hip Protector is specially designed to protect elderly individuals from injuries due to falls. Offering coverage for both the hips and coccyx, this innovative product lets you maintain an active lifestyle while ensuring your safety—without compromising your style. The HipSaver SlimFit TailBone provides superior protection and comfort, all while being virtually invisible under regular clothing. Soft airPads gently cushion the trochanters and coccyx, naturally contouring to the body for a snug, secure fit.
The HipSaver SlimFit TailBone features specialized airPads that protect both the hips and the coccyx—ideal for those prone to backward falls or accidental impacts against hard surfaces or furniture, helping to prevent bruising and discomfort. It is also designed to be compatible with personal incontinence protection, allowing for safe and effective 24-hour wear. Soft, comfortable, and highly protective, the HipSaver SlimFit TailBone can be worn day and night to ensure continuous protection.

Care and Durability
HipSavers are built for durability and ease of care. The garments are fully machine washable at 95°C and can be tumble-dried on medium heat, making them ideal for use in care homes, hospitals, or for personal wear at home. High-temperature washability is crucial in settings where hygiene standards require thorough cleaning.
For private use, simply wash and dry HipSavers as you would with your other garments.
Incontinence Compatible
HipSavers are designed to be used alongside personal incontinence protection, such as pads or diapers, without compromising comfort or protection.
Please note: The protective airPads are permanently sewn into the garment. They are watertight and can withstand washing at 95°C without needing to be removed. After washing, they are ready to wear once tumble-dried on medium heat.
Most users find that owning three pairs of HipSavers is convenient—one pair to wear, one to wash, and one ready to go.
