How do I wear the Hip Therapy Belt?

These photos show the belt with one waist strap and a single thigh wrap. If yours has different fastenings, email support@daywick.com for the right instructions.

Before you start

Charge the belt, then unplug it. It will not heat or vibrate while charging. See charging instructions.

Wear it over a thin layer of clothing. Keep the controller at the top and the light side facing inward.

1. Attach the waist strap

Step 1: push the waist strap through one buckle at the top of the pad

Push one end of the waist strap through one of the two buckles at the top corners of the panel. Fold the end back and press it down so it holds.

2. Hold the panel on your hip

Step 2: hold the pad on your sore hip with the buttons on top

Hold the panel on the outside of your hip. The controller goes at the top, the light side faces inward, and the thigh wrap hangs down beside your leg.

3. Fasten the waist strap

Step 3: take the strap around your waist and through the other buckle

Take the loose end around your waist and through the other buckle. Pull it snug, fold it back and press it down. It should feel secure without digging in.

4. Fasten the thigh wrap

Step 4: wrap the bottom part of the belt around your upper thigh and close it

Wrap the bottom part around your upper thigh and press it closed. On the other hip, the thigh wrap closes the other way round.

5. Check the fit

Step 5: the belt fitted snugly with the pad over the outer hip, seen from the side

The panel should sit on the outside of your hip. It should stay in place comfortably when you sit or stand.

If it pinches, makes your leg tingle or causes numbness, stop using it and take it off. Do not tighten it further to reach a sore spot.

If it slips, refasten the waist strap first, then the thigh wrap. If either part will not close comfortably, email support@daywick.com. See fit and coverage help.

6. Turn it on

Step 6: hold the heat or massage button for 2 to 3 seconds to turn it on

Make sure the cable is disconnected. Hold the flame button for 2 to 3 seconds to start heat. If you want vibration, hold the vibration button separately for 2 to 3 seconds.

Do not press both buttons together. Start on the lowest level. Short presses change the level after a function is on.

During your session

The belt switches off automatically after 15 minutes. That does not, by itself, mean the battery is empty.

Stay awake while using it. Take it off before sleeping. Stop if it feels uncomfortable or irritates your skin.

If you do not feel heat after following the steps, see troubleshooting. If you want help with the fit, email support@daywick.com with your order number and a photo of how you are wearing it, if you are comfortable sharing one.
