Need something good to sit on!

18 Replies

What is the best thing to sit on? Pain all the time but need something to sit on for my whole vagina, anal and butt pain better than the Nova foam donut thing. I also have a harder Comfi Life seat that doesnt help. Any suggestions? Need something soft but not as light as the foam donut I have. Also where can I get it? Thank you!

I sit like that for 4 years now i eat that way sit by the doctor that way i sit even in restaurants that way its very laborious but it half the pain . Succes by finding your way . I bought for hundred euro s special cusshions non helped.

Hoe moet ik me dat voorstellen Willemine? Ik was net van plan het Carry kussen te bestellen. Duur, maar mag teruggestuurd worden als het niet bevalt.

Hoi Anna ik kan geen foto nemen ervan maar ik kon op geen enkele wijze zitten met geen enkel kussen dus heb dus yoga bankje is op internet te koop met daarop stuk zwem drijfplankje met een " V " eruit gekerft. Ik zit dan op mijn knieen met benen onder bankje. Ik heb geen idee of kussen voldoende voor jou is andere zweren erbij ; ik hoop het dat kussen voor jou ook werkt met retour garantie kun je het proberen zonder risico. Succes met he zoek tocht het is zo verschikkelijk ongemakkelijk niet te kunnen zitten met de pijn . Compassie & Sterkte !

Dank je wel. Je zit dus eigenlijk niet echt, maar je gebruikt het meer als steun als ik het goed begrijp. Jij ook veel sterkte. Ik heb al diverse kussens geprobeerd.

Nadat ik een half jaar lang helemaal niet gezeten had en bij maaltijden op tuinstoel lag was het yoga bankje een verademing .Ik zit nu voor zo n 40 procent op mijn bekken enkel niet op stuit door inkeping en 60 op mijn knieen. Het rechtop " zitten " voor mijn romp en longen en slokdarm was erg fijn na die lange periode van liggen. De inkeping kun je ook maken in een schuimdubber kniematje voor tuinnierders. Ik hoop dat je iets vind wat werkt voor je. Ik ben 48 jaar ik heb 5 jaar geleden Pudendal Neuralgie gekregen door endometreose operatie. Ben bij 3 specialisten geweest Zenuw blokkades werken bij mij niet ik heb wat steun aan medicijn oxycodon. En ik heb stuk pijn reductie door PTNS behandeling die ik eigenlijk krijg voor overactieve blaas. De pijn beinvloed mijn leven drastisch maar heb met klinisch psycholoog weer mn draai gevonden Ben eigenlijk wel benieuwd naar jou verhaal nu ik een landgenoot tref . Groet en sterkte met bewerkelijk lijf !

If you're in the UK you could try a mobility shop. There you can try them out - briefly at any rate. Then you might be able to judge if you're buying a pig in a poke! I got a cushion in one of these shops several years ago that I was able to use for some time - quite thick foam. Maybe it's worth trying? Good luck.

This is the one that worked for me. I had two different ones form other companies before this. I have retal and vaginal pressure but find that my sits bones cause a lot of my sitting pain. This company has 3 types and gived you a 100 day trial period or get 100% back. I didn't have an issue so I don't know if the trial really is honored. Good luck in finding the best one for your problem. I can also sit on a hard chair leaning forward. I drives me nuts that I can;t find a doctor to fix the vaginal buzzing I am plaged with. amazon.com/dp/B07K6T8WDJ

I recommend the twin cheeks folding cushion from

cushion your assets.com. There is a channel all the way through the side pieces so none of your body touches down on any surface. Sells for $109. and you can choose the degree of firmness of the foam that you wish.

I can fully recommend the twin cheeks. It takes a little getting used to at first but after perseverance it is such a good cushion. I have pn and coccyx pain and it’s great for both. A little pricey but well worth it

I have made my own cushion. Square, average cushion size with circular insert cut out. Made up of two lots of 3 inch good quality foam, glued together. (Foam was from an upholstery shop). Tried Thera cushion - much too hard. Didn’t like the Cushion Your Assets shape at all and inflated air cushions produced too much pressure on upper thighs. Trial and error till you find what works for you. Also use a low footstool at my desk, when I have to sit. When out use yoga bricks to elevate feet - again less pressure on thighs. Hope that helps.
