Hip Support
The Hip Ease Hip Protector provides padded hip protection for individuals at increased risk of falls. High-density foam pads help absorb fall-related impact and cushion vulnerable areas around the hips, while adjustable waist and thigh closures help maintain comfortable positioning throughout daily activities.
Hip Protection for Fall-Prone Individuals
The Hip Ease Hip Protector is designed to help cushion the hips from fall-related impact. High-density foam hip pads cover vulnerable areas around the hip to provide an additional layer of protection for older adults, rehabilitation patients, and other individuals at increased risk of falls.
The adjustable design secures around the waist and thighs to help keep the protective pads properly positioned. Hip Ease can be worn over undergarments, including adult briefs, and its breathable construction helps improve comfort during extended wear.
Designed for Comfortable Everyday Protection
Hip protectors are most effective when they are positioned correctly and worn consistently. Hip Ease combines protective foam padding with adjustable hook-and-loop closures, allowing caregivers and users to customize the fit. The design can be worn over or beneath clothing depending on the user's needs and preferences.

Who May Benefit from a Hip Protector?
A wearable hip protector may be useful for older adults and other individuals who are at increased risk of falling. Hip protection pads may also be incorporated into fall-management programs in rehabilitation facilities, long-term care environments, assisted living facilities, and home care settings.
Choosing the Right Size
Proper sizing is important for comfort and positioning. Measure around the user's waist and select the appropriate Hip Ease size before use.
- Small: 28–30 inch waist
- Medium: 30–34 inch waist
- Large: 34–38 inch waist
- X-Large: 38–42 inch waist
- XX-Large: 42–46 inch waist
Fit Tip: After fastening the Hip Ease, confirm that each protective foam pad remains centered over the appropriate hip area while the user is standing, sitting, and walking. Adjust the waist or thigh closures if the protector shifts during movement.
How to Put On the Hip Ease Hip Protector
- Open the Closures: Before application, open the waist and thigh hook-and-loop closures so the Hip Ease can be easily positioned.
- Position Around the Waist: Place the Hip Ease around the user's waist and secure the waist closure for a snug, comfortable fit.
- Position the Hip Pads: Check that the high-density foam pads are centered over the appropriate areas of each hip.
- Secure the Thigh Closures: Fasten each thigh closure so the protector stays securely positioned without feeling overly tight.
- Check the Fit: Have the user sit, stand, and walk briefly. Confirm that the hip pads remain properly positioned and adjust the closures if necessary.
Tips for a Comfortable Fit
- Select the correct size based on the user's waist measurement.
- Make sure the hip pads are centered correctly before securing the straps.
- The closures should feel secure without restricting movement.
- Recheck positioning after sitting, standing, or walking.
- The Hip Ease may be worn over undergarments, including adult briefs.
How to Clean the Hip Ease
Remove the vinyl-covered foam hip pads before washing the garment. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for machine washing and allow the product to dry completely before reinserting the protective pads.
