As an adult competitive figure skater nearing the age of 50, falls and injuries are always a worry. I started wearing
ComfiHips to protect my tailbone after breaking it falling backwards on the ice in 2010. Two weeks ago, I had another severe fall
backwards on the ice but was wearing my ComfiHips. The only injury I sustained was a bruised tailbone. Without the protection of ComfiHips,
I am certain I would have broken my tailbone again. This product is so light I don’t even feel it when I skate. I can execute all
of my jumps, spins and footwork without feeling any restriction in movement. Depending on the moves I make, I will also wear the ComfiHips
over my hips. (The way it was intended to be worn.) ComfiHips gives me the confidence to try new technique on the ice – I know
I’m well protected.”

*The hip protector pad is lightweight and streamline. It sits in exactly in the right location, over the “sweet spot”, which is the greater trochanter.
*ComfiHips® Hip Protectors
are extremely discrete when worn, even for a slim patient. This ensures compliance.
*The underwear is an excellent quality that does
not stretch out, therefore the pads stay in the right place.
*ComfiHips® Hip Protectors sell undergarments and pads separately; this
lowers the cost overall for the consumer, something I have never seen with other products.
*Enclosed in the packaging is a list of
fall prevention strategies to educate the user and caregivers on how to prevent falls from occurring. The pamphlet also recommends
home safety evaluation by a licensed Occupational Therapist to make further recommendations for possible adaptations in the home to
facilitate care and prevent falls.
In my opinion, the company has gone full circle in that they have developed an excellent product to reduce the risk of fractures as well as educating patients and their caregivers on fall prevention.

"My father lives at the Jewish Elder Care. He is blind and can fall easily.
He has been wearing ComfiHips® Hip Protectors for more than a year. He wears them day and night. We want him protected all the time. He is very comfortable in them. It's just like wearing his regular undergarment since the pads are very light. "
