  1. Hi,
    Lots of posts to sort through on seats for certain!

    I modified one of mine with a very high density butyl foam pad as you
    see in the picture. It keeps the pressure on my ischium and my pubic
    bone and off the tender parts (Girls have this seat issue, too). The
    foam is dense enough that at the most, it compresses to a thickness of
    about a cm.

    It works for me, (female) does it look like it might help guys?

  3. Though many things may work, I got the foam that I used from these
    folks:

    It is the 3/4" minicell foam

    If any one gives it a try let me know how it goes.
    Thanks!

  4. Your design looks excellent, and will be just as good for the guys as
    the girls. I would move the slot an inch or two toward the rear though,
    based on the way I sit.

    I used to do this with the foam I would add to my Miyata seats before
    air seats came along. Two ridges to support the sit bones (probably what
    you said), and less pressure on the midline!
