After losing 135 lbs I guess you could say the padding went away too around the tailbone. I now was having substantial tailbone pain when seated after just a few minutes. Since I work at a desk all day, life has not been fun. Seeking relief, I purchased a Purple seat cushion, which although squishy, did nothing to relieve the pain. I searched google for an alternative and landed on this. With a lot of positive reviews, what did I have to lose?I questioned my decision when it first arrived and I saw the thickness of the cushion. I believed it would make the back of my thighs hurt since it stops in length about mid thigh. I was wrong.I have used it for two days now. I have had no pain or discomfort. Today, I did not budge from my desk for 7 hours. Again, no pain. I plan to purchase another to put in my car for trips. It is well worth the price.
