Washing Instructions
First remove the hip protectors from
the pants. They should never be
washed whilst in the pants.
The underpants should be washed in a
normal machine cycle at 60˚C or 150˚F.
The hip protector pads should be
machine washed, using normal washing
powder, at 60˚C or 150˚F, for 15 minutes.
The machine should then be manually
set to drain. The pads should be air
dried,
not
spin dried, as that may
damage them. They can be hand washed
Looking after your hip
protectors
• Store at room temperature
• Keep away from direct sunlight
• Do not expose to flame or sharp
implements
• Take care inserting or removing them

Note: Fall-Safe® hip protectors will certainly minimise the
possibility of breaking your hip from a fall, but HIP Ltd. can
not be held responsible if a fracture should occur.

Fall-Safe®
Hip Protectors are non-
toxic and durable. They should last
for three years. They are impervious
to pinpricks or bursting, and do not
deteriorate after repeated impacts.
