Does the hole in the seat extend very far into the nose? I'm a female that has also had numbness in my lady parts, as all my weight is on the nose.

The hole itself does not, but it does have a fairly deep grove that runs the full length of the seat from front to back. I have this seat on the bike that stays permanently fixed to the bike trainer and I put long hours on it and love it.

the indentation follows through to the nose, but the cutout ends about 3" before the end.

I have had mine for about a month and i haven't had a problem like that yet. The seat cover actual feels like it hugs you, instead of sitting on the seat you sit in it. One last thing some people say its a pair its not its only 1 seat cover. All in all i give it 5 stars all day!

I've never had any problem like that. My knees don't get uncomfortable and my feet don't lose circulation. The majority of your weight is still supported on the seat.

The seat is 10 1/2 inches long, 8 1/2 inches wide, and at the thickest part, 3 inches high. I think the nose is too short and the "seat" part too big and too long for anything other than short rides on a cruiser. I put my old seat back on and it's considerably more comfortable than this. I used it just once and was very uncomfortable after. I'm going to put it on a small folding bike I have and see how that works. If not, it will end up at a yard sale......someday.

It's not very noticeable. It does distort the shape of the nose, slightly. It is more white than clear. But it didn't work for me.

This is a great seat! I have one on all 3 bicycles and one tandem. With this seat you sit on your sit bones and nothing else. There is no pressure anywhere there shouldn't be! I got it because with a regular seat my entire groin area went numb and hurt very bad. I no longer have that problem. and I ride a lot of miles every week! I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. He would know better about things like that. All I know is I will never go back to a regular seat.

Dear Lucy. Thank you for your question. Yes the reason why its falling out is indeed that we rub our nose subconsciously. That's the reason why it is made from soft silicone to avoid rubbing out. The following tips are advised; 1. Find the right size 2. The small nose lock's must be IN the front of the nose tip. They must be inside the nostril. 3. Don't be affright to cut off the rings, as sometimes we don't need to stick it too deep in the nostrils. Sometimes just the depth of a half an inch is enough. 4. Nostrils are not always the same. Try different depths for left and right. 5. Cut always exact between the rings to avoid sharp edges. Anton Bende (ME)

I noticed there was a strong plastic smell for the first several days. My nose is not very sensitive but my mom noticed it. I guess that is normal for any of this kind of inflatable chairs. It was Summer when I bought it. I let it sitting in my bedroom and sometimes kept a fan blowing towards me when I was sitting on it. I believe the smell completely went away after maybe 3 or 4 days. I bought this chair for several months now, it is in very good condition and being very helpful to me.

It does for me. I had to have an injection of "gel" and this support keeps it there without pain or discomfort. Ask your doctor.

Nose pad is attached to the frame and cannot be pulled loose. Never have had the problem you think exists.

I tilted the seat way forward so the nose is lower than the rear. Im a big guy with big male parts and this is the only way it felt comefortable. But, when I did the tilt it turned into the most comefortable seat ive ever used. Im using an integral mount with a tilt adjustment, not the mount that came with the seat. FYI, im 6'5", 270lbs. To the other who didnt find it comefortable, tilt it foreward!

Feeling the wires was a problem I had with my two previous pads but I've never felt the wires in this one. I'm very skinny and the least little bump annoys me and can sometimes even be painful. I don't have that problem with this pad.

This seat is very comfy to me but I don't have male "private" parts so can't help you there!

Didn't have any problems with suspension. It wasn't great but good enough, for me - not sure if a heavier person will find same. The seat was comfortable except the horn is too big and got my private parts numb and I was told it's not good for your sex life. Regardless of that, it was uncomfortable. I'm a very small person at 5' 4" weighing 55 kg and I think a bigger person with a bigger backside or fatter legs won't have the problem. In the end I bought an ISM saddle wide enough to support my seat bones with a u shaped cutout but that seat is so hard I had to buy a gel pad which I cut to size and shape and hand-sewed a cover over it. There is no such thing as a seat that suits everyone! Hope this helps. Didn't have any problems with suspension. It wasn't great but good enough, for me - not sure if a heavier person will find same.

I have no issues with it. I am about 175 lbs and have been on it for 30 minutes at a time and had no discomfort. I hope this helps.

Yes it does. There is a rounded niche which allows the nose of the seat to be raised or lowered before tightening.
