So comfortable that I wear them all the time. I have both osteoporosis and vision issues but remain very active. These hip shields give me the reassurance I need while remaining discreet. Worth every penny. Thank you for developing this product.
It's great to hear that you find them comfortable and discreet, I'm so glad to hear that they provide you with extra peace of mind - that's exactly why I developed these!
If you have any problem with the shorts they get back to you right away to make sure you have a perfect fit. This company was great!! You don't want to have a fall without the protection. I recently had a fall .... did not have any broken bones...but boy of boy am I ever sore. I wish I had ordered this product before my fall.
Thanks for such nice words! We really do want our customers to be protected and will make sure we do all we can to get the fit right and change out sizes if we need to. Happy to hear you didn't injure youself in your last fall and glad that we can provide some extra protection for you from here on!
the pockets extent doen the length of the shorts. This makes quite a range of positions for the shields to sit. For me I need them to sit higher up on the pocket to actually be protecting my hip area, but as I walk they tend to slide down. This causes me to have to stop and try to reposition them. I have been wearing the shorts under my pants as it has been cold where I live. This creates quite a challenge in positioning the shields. As I am not absolutely sure where the best position is for proper hip protection, these seem really frustrating. Maybe a diagram or explanation of where to position the shields give the most protection would help as the range (do to long pocket) is pretty random.
Oh dear this isn't ideal. This sounds perhaps like a sizing issue as the shorts are designed to fit snugly and hold the shields in place. I have emailed you to discuss sizing so we can get you a pair that should fit better.
I am writing as a wise elder, exercise physiologist and former marathoner, speed skater and cyclist. These shorts are a first, we have never had anything close to Natashas active shorts with hip pads to prevent hip fractures from a fall. They are totally discreet and look like our cycling shorts but better. In fact I am recommending the cyclists snd mountain bikers wear these over or under their leggings until Natasha creates some with a chamois for cyclists. Kudos to her for keeping us active.
Wow, thanks for such a wonderful review. I really appreicate your kind words and I'm so happy to have been able to create such a great solution. I look forward to developing lots of new styles, including proper bike shorts with chamois!
The active shorts with shields hipwear have proven to be as lightweight and comfortable as I had hoped. I wear them under my regular tights and jeans for hiking and other activities. In warm weather, they can be worn alone. The shields are barely detectable as my t-shirts fit right over them.
With a bit of wear, the shields soften and conform to your body. I sometimes forget I have them on.
These are well worth the investment if you are concerned about a fall, as I was. I know from experience that a fall can happen even to a fit person like myself, within a second!
I'm so glad you love these, this makes all our hard work to create Phoenix so worth it!
