What type of cushion do you use in the car? I was thinking of trying a sloped coccyx cushion with a small u-shaped cut out in the back and cutting it more to adapt to my neds, but I have a lot of sit bone pain so I don't know if this will work. I also have sacral pain, but the sloped coccyx seems to work best for that. Just wanted to get other opinions out there. Have tried the IC cushion (doesn't work for me) and a donut (but it increases my sacral pain).

Hello,

I have the U shaped cushion, which seems to work well for me. I use it for driving and it really does not leave my car at all. I had purchased a ROHO cushion, but it was extremely bulky. But, if you left the ROHO cushion in one place, like your favorite chair or your car, it is a very well made product, but I don't think it is worth the price that they want for it.

Take care,
Wendy

I posted mine when this board 1st opened up, here is the link:

That one flattened out after a year of use, so I just made myself a new one in pink, actually found hot pink duct tape in the hardware section at Target

I feel like the odd man out here. I've tried all sorts of cushions and the only one that even semi helps is a nursing cusion that I sit on if out and about. I need the opening in the front, not the back. I can not stand any pressure on the front vulva/clitoris area. Has anyone found something that works in this case? The nursing pad is way to bulky for the car but works great for restaurants, etc when I only need to sit for short periods.

I use one like Hermajesty made out of pool noodles and also the "Boppy" nursing pillow. In our van, there is enough headroom for me to use the Boppy but in my car, I have to use the noodles. I used the boppy on the airplane too. So far these have worked the best for me. Hope you find a good one that works for you soon

Blessings,
Grace

My SIL and I spent a Sunday messing with Pool Noodles but just couldn't find a comfortable set up for me. Do they make Boppys in different densities? I got this one from a friends yard sale. Best $5 I've spent in a long time!!

Have you tried this cushion? - link - it is the only one that works for me in the car. Expensive but totally worth it, for me at least.

I've tried the Widgey pillow which looks to be the same as Boppy - that is good but not in the car, not sure exactly why. Anyway this Togu Airgo one works for me. One good thing about it is that it comes with a little pump thing so that you can inflate it exactly the amount that is right for you.

Actually we have now got two, my husband has back problems and it helps him as well so we have both got one now.

That looks pretty awesome!! I'll have to try it out. Thanks!!

Thanks for bringing up this topic, Faith! And thank you, Calluna for the info on the Airgo. I have the most difficult time in the car. None of my various seat cushions seem to fit properly and cushions which work in the house do not seem to be as effective in a vehicle.

Calluna,

The cushion you purchased looks like one that I would like to buy. But how did you get it shipped to the U.S? I didn't see the U.S. listed just European countries. Please help me. Thanks.
