Haha, I feel like a right muppet asking this, but here goes :)
I've just bought a one-piece suit from ebay, and it came with the hip armour fitted as shown in the pics, but I'm not sure if it's the right way round or not as it seems to sit too far at the front of the leg, if you see what I mean? Ta :)

Oh lordy no, they should be inside the suit ;)

Hip armour follows the shape of yer butt ;)

Had a quick rummage on my textiles, mine are in that way.
Could possibly PM Janyeflakes as she's got a akito suit

Actually I'm not even sure it's hip armour, more like thigh armour? I just tried it in the other way round and it's not any worse...
I might try PMing JayneFlakes if she doesn't reply on here, but I think she has a 2 piece suit, same as my other one, which doesn't have this armour.
Cheers, will try Google again, lol!

Post a picture of your naked midriff and your hips, then we'll be able to see your shape and advise you a bit better ;-)

Bolox. F***k it then. I thought if you knew Jayneflakes you might be another one of those sexy lezzies.
I think they go the other way round mate.
Sort out that username warrior princess!

PMSL, am just joking!!! Straight laydee :)
From memory (I used to work as an Akito sales rep) they go in the other way to how they appear in your photo so the curve follows your hip and upper leg when you're sitting.
If you can't get on with them then bin them and fit Hein Gericke Hiprotec rubber hip armour, it is far more comfortable and made to a much higher level of CE approval (safety standard)

I thought she was named after an alarmed disclock

Like I said in first place, they follow the contour of yer ass, so the main edge is on the outside of the top of your thigh, and the kidney shaped wibble is to the front. Put it this way which way does your leg bend, forward or back? Why put the kink on the outside if you leg bends forwards?

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything... I'm just surprised that the original owner got it wrong, that's all.
