Much more comfortable than a typical bike seat!     On: 2008-07-03

I bought this seat for my stationary bike, and it truly is a "no pressure" seat. Its much more comfortable than the conventional bike seat. My crotch is no longer in pain after a long ride.
Finally!     On: 2008-06-15

I recently started biking again as part of a fitness challenge and renewed desire to continue to stay fit. So I combined going to and from work with biking and walking. Sometimes, I bike 15+ miles between morning and evening trips. However, soon after starting biking, my butt and thighs were hurting and getting sore...so men, you are not the only ones with this issue! I am of average proportion and like many others on here I wondered what happened from when I was a little girl. I rode everywhere for hours and the saddle was not even cushioned (I am in pain just thinking back)! I started to buy another gel cover for my saddle, but all they had in the store were whole gel seats...so I decided to give amazon a whirl and found this nifty seat...it stands to reason that without the horn, there should not be any thigh burn issues-and there are none. Changing out the seat was a snap-less than 3 min...I am not experiencing some of the problems with the adjustments that other have, so I am happy. I almost did not buy this because of some of the reviews mentioning this. I am not sure why someone did not come up with this idea eons ago...I know for rding hands-free the horn comes in handy so you can use your body to steer the bike, but other than that is is so superfluous-and-as we all know: a pain in the derriere and places elsewhere. Now, I wonder if this is already out there in gle version. However, I will never ride a bike with a horn again...I want a booty-cradle (After all-if cradles work for babies-they also should work for our bums). Happy trails.
Better seat for smaller rider of new Schwinn womans bicycle     On: 2008-06-11

We bought a new Schwinn Southport womans bicycle.
The stock seat although comfortable in some respects, the stock seat that came with the bike hurt my wifes inner thighs.She is 411" in height.I lowered the seat and made several adjustments to the handlebars to fit her to ride comfortable. She love the bicycle, but the seat was just too wide for her body. I ordered this new "no pressure bicycle seat" made by Schwinn and it is perfect! Make sure you tilt the seat slightly upwards to adjust to you rider. It may take a couple of adjustments to get it perfect. Worth the small effort with the adjustable wrench. Do not use priers. Ever!
Happy biking!
no presssure bike seat     On: 2008-06-09

this seat was just what my wife needed. she has had two knee replacements, and the original seat made it hard for her to ride just right
great painless alternative!!!!     On: 2008-05-25

I hate regular bicycle seats because i have a big butt and i am female and it hurts after a while. This seat is an excellent alternative to a saddle. there is no pain at all! the only thing i dont like is the frequency in which i have to re-tighten the seat to my bike, i am not sure why but it lossens itself very often. I would highly recommend this product!!
Not as Good as the Others Say     On: 2008-05-14

I bought this seat pretty much on the recommendation of others who reviewed it here on Amazon. Unfortunately for me, it did not work out.

The seat is not that wide (10 inches) compared to many other "comfort" saddles although the price is definitely right--about $30 cheaper than any other seat in the "comfort saddle" type category on the web.

I used this on an electric scooter and I could not tip the seat forward like so many can do on a regular bicycle. Because of that, the full support effect of the wide saddle was lost. It was more uncomfortable than the seat I had, so I went out and purchased another saddle.

I would say that if you can tip this saddle forward for your butt adjustment, you will be okay. But if you have a fixed seat post of some kind that makes forward/backward adjustment of the seat impossible, go with another wide saddle.
Comfortable Seat     On: 2008-05-13

Great seat. Million percent better than the original which was a pain in the ... Needs some easy adjustments. Worth every cent.
Requires Adjusting     On: 2008-05-01

Just got this seat and my instant reaction was "oh my god this is aweful." Feel like I have to keep myself from pitching off the bike face forward by using all my arm strength. Will try lowering the seat, but according to basic bicycling ergonomics, thatll make the pedals too close, and I expect trouble there. Then will look at raising the handlebars. The people that love it here all claim you have to stick with it and get the adjustments ust right. Im willing to try - but the message to Schwinn is clear --> you need to send some documentation with this seat about how to adjust it different than your old seat. Otherwise this product will be a real clunker. It *does not* just pop on and replace the old seat at the same angles. Still, I love my manly bits enough to tool around with it a little.
Ow ow OW!     On: 2008-03-15

I bought this seat for my Schwinn cruiser. I found it very uncomfortable and hard---I could feel every bump. Im 55", about 130 lbs., not a big girl by any means. I could not get the seat to move back far enough; it made me feel like I was too close to the handlebars. It cut into the backs of my legs and they started to go numb, even after tilting it forward. It also made my back curve in, which started to hurt, too. Im exchanging mine.
Works well on cruiser     On: 2008-03-06

This seat works well on my Electra cruiser. The pedals are forward and I sit straight up. So there is no pressure on my hands.

It took some tinkering to get the angle right. Tilt the seat a bit too far forward and you do feel like you are going to slide off. A bit far backward, the front of the seat hurts the back of your legs. But I was able to get it right.

There doesnt seem to be any loss of control. There might be if you were doing hardcore racing or mountain biking.

With the stock seat, I felt like some things had been cut off down there after a ride, if you know what I mean. No feeling in certain appendages. Not a problem now.
Riding Comfort     On: 2008-02-08

A great comfortable saddle for the leisure cyclist. You can ride for hours and your privates never hurt or go numb.
As advertised     On: 2008-01-09

Having used this bicycle seat a few times now, I can say that it is comfortable and seems to be well built. Like any of these "no pressure" saddles (I suspect), the ride and position does take a little getting used to. No complaints.
Kind between your legs but better for high handlebar bikes     On: 2008-01-02

I got this seat for my mountain bike because I realized that I wasnt a hardcore mountain biker who wants the lightest seat possible with best control; Im a casual city rider who hates pain between the legs and worries about his man parts. So I was looking for a comfort seat. I compared this with the seats that have two pads and have glowing reviews from people with prostate problems and this was, well, cheaper. It also looks a bit more comfy.

This seat is comfortable to sit on. Very comfortable. Like an office chair or better. If all we did on bikes was sit, this would be the best seat money can buy. However, we also pedal on bikes, and that creates a bit of a problem. Specifically, as you pedal your legs push down on the front edge of the seat on the downstroke and after a while it hurts. Normal bikes (not the cruiser kind) have the center of the pedals right under the seat. Thats fine if your seat is a narrow ridge that is squashing your man parts and your legs are dangling off the sides, but if you are sitting on a nice comfy office chair seat, your legs come out in front. So the situation is not optimal. Thats why most other prostate protecting comfort seats look really scary: the pads are out behind the seat post, so the post is precariously positioned between your legs. I havent really tried them, so I wont comment more on them.

Anyway, if you have a bike with a comparatively upright natural position (high handle bars and the like) and especially if you have a bike that has the pedals out in front of the seat, then you are going to absolutely love this seat. When you just sit in it, there really is no pressure. Its shaped like your backside. Its padded. Its really nice.

But I dont have one of those bikes. I have a trek 4500 mountain bike. So heres how I handled it...

At first I lowered the seat, but it feels funny because your knees go out in front and then bend almost underneath you, putting an undue proportion of the work on your thighs. So I raised it up to normal seat height (about the height of the handlebars). Then we run into the upper leg pain from the front edge of the seat. The manual says to keep the seat level, but what do they know? so I angled the seat forward. Ahhh, very comfortable to pedal. And if I want to just sit and coast, I can sit just a bit farther back, almost on the back edge. Not as comfy as an office chair, but pretty good still. I can sit or pedal on this forever (from a soft tissue point of view). Pain between my legs? Zero. Worries for my future sexual prowess? Zero. I love this seat and this setup. When I see a bump on the road, I dont worry about lifting myself off to prevent nasty shocks being transmitted to my most delicate areas. I just sit down and relax. Shocks are spread throughout your bottom. Ahhhh. Makes me want to invest in a recumbent bike next time.

But is there a downside? Oh yes, having the seat angled forward puts a lot of your weight on your handlebars. Result: a crazy workout for your arms. I dont think I have sufficient arm strength to ride this all day long. I never really ride more than my 5 mile commute anyway, so I dont mind a bit. In fact, its kind of nice. Now riding my bike gives me wicked triceps as well as amazing leg muscles.

So what Im saying here is, you need to adjust adjust adjust this seat until its right. Try crazy positions. You might end up very happy like me. Or maybe not.

Theres some talk here about trouble controlling the bike. I havent noticed any significant changes from a horned seat. I guess I wasnt using the horn between my legs much for control. I tend to keep my hands on the handlebars. One time I do notice things a little funny is when I get up to pedal hard for some reason. Thats fine, but then when I go to sit back down, my backside has to feel around quite a bit more before I find the seat than it did when I used horned seats. Its not a big deal. Certainly it wont make me want to trade this seat in for anything else.

What would I tell the schwinn people if I was giving them feedback? Well, they should probably address the issue of the seat positioning the rider too far forward on the bike. I wouldnt go to an extreme and start changing fundamentals, but they could have the little bars under the seat that attach to the post come forward just a bit more than they do. That would probably open up this seat to a lot of people. Other than that the design is pretty great.

This seat has eliminated all my backside and between-the-legs pain, which was seriously hindering my enjoyment of cycling. Forget all those people saying you should wear special biking shorts (yeah right), get your seat professionally microfit (doesnt help), or just wait out the pain. This seat takes some adjustment and a bit of getting used to, but I would never go back. In fact, without this seat I wont cycle.

This is a GREAT BIKE SEAT!     On: 2007-12-21

Previously parts of my body were so terribly irritated from riding that I needed ten days to recover from a two hour ride...now I dont hurt at all!
It took a couple of days to get used to this seat, and I did have to lower the seat a few inches. My butt agrees, this is a GREAT BIKE SEAT!
It's wonderful - but needs explication     On: 2007-12-21

As a 60-year-old newly arrived in California, Ive returned to bike-riding after many years. A few 1-hour rides on pretty flat terrain left me asking: Has my physiology changed that radically since I was a young bike-rider? Well, that led me to search for a hornless saddle.

I was about ready to spring for $109 for a SpiderFlex, when I saw this one. Could not ignore the price.

My first rides were disappointing. The seat seemed to be pushing me off, forward. My seat mount did not allow for much back-to-front tilting, so I thought, "I need a new mount, or to find a seat that works."

But something told me to hang in there and stick with it. A couple of rides later, I notices...not noticing. No interference with my physiology. Yeah, a different positioning of my bottom is required - but only requiring muscle adaptations, no pain.

Bottom line: Well worth it. No risk, with Amazon return policies (except for shipping, of course). An excellent seat. But in desperate need of some explication regarding mounting and getting used to it. I found nothing on the Schwinn site.Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat

What a difference a seat will make!     On: 2007-12-17

This seat is MUCH more comfortable than the seats that originally came with the bikes I bought for my boyfriend and I. We had decided to get healthier together, but those itty-bitty original bike seats made it very uncomfortable for our larger-than-we-want-them-to-be bums. So, I got both of us one of these seats. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Now we bike several nights a week and dont need to sit on a pillow for the next few days. Thanks!

My one gripe would be that one of them came missing a part, but we were able to cannibalize the original Schwinn seat to compensate. The seats themselves are comfortable, no rips, tears, etc. They arrived timely. Again, thank you!
Great idea, but.....     On: 2007-11-19

I am new to cycling and found my saddle uncomfortable to say the least. I tried this saddle, thinking that without the horn, my female parts would be happier. Its true there is little discomfort but I felt as if I being forced forward and my wrists took all my upper body weight. Plus, turning felt very unsafe. I am going to tough it out on my current saddle, and returned this one.
Hurts no more     On: 2007-10-19

I gave up bicycle riding because it was so uncomfortable. This no pressure seat lives up to its name. I recommend it for anyone, male or female.Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat
comfortabel seat     On: 2007-10-15

I purchased five different seats and seat covers before I found one that I was totally comfortable with, and this is it. Its nice and wide and there is no pressure in in my groin area whatsoever. I like it so much I ordered a second one for my exercise bike.

Painless ride!     On: 2007-10-13

The ad for this seat said no pain or numbness. True advertisement. I have ridden up to 3 hours with only minor soreness, but no pain or numbness at all. This type of seat should be standard equipment on all bicycles.
comfort     On: 2007-09-27

Very comfortable seat once you have made all the necessary adjustments. You will need to lower your seat a little from the height of a seat with a horn. You will also need to make sure that the seat is level since any slight tilting could make pedaling awkward. It took about 3 bicycle rides before I made all the necessary adjustments to this new seat. However the difference is worth the wait. I no longer feel any discomfort where no man wants to feel discomfort regardless of the length of an excursion. This seat is attached to a cruiser so I am not close to using this bike at any precieved maximum speed limit.

The basic installation of the seat is easy. I just takes a little trial and error to fine tune the necessary adjustments. I have a bought a second seat for another bicycle after using this seat for a couple of months.

Add miles to your bike rides     On: 2007-09-10

Im very happy with my no pressure bike seat. I can now ride for long distances without getting sore. Befor I got this seat, I had to wait several days between long rides before Icould go on another bike trip. It took a few times of adjusting is all. It beats all those seats with a toung sticking out that eventually causes pain,
Too uncomfortable to use
by: Anonymous    On: 2007-09-08

The shape is too weird. The seat cannot slide back far enough to be comfortable. I tried it on several different bikes. No one in my family felt comfortable - men or women. I ultimately have a useless seat sitting in my shed. I purchased two and need to return the one that still has the tags on.
Schwinn No pressure, Why did I hurt then?     On: 2007-07-26

I was looking forward to this new seat, Had to make several adjustments before feeling safe enough, seemed to slide off the front. Rode 15 miles and was sore for a week, removed the seat and went back to the old standby. Just did not fit my skinny backside and pushed the back of my upper thighs so much that I was sore there too. Maybe good for some but not for me. NOW how to get them back to Amazon.
It's the ONLY way to ride!     On: 2007-07-26

This seat is truly amazing! It looks promising right out of the box. It was very easy to install--one bolt, one wrench--take off the old seat, put on the new one, and tighten the bolt back up! My first 5 minutes on the bike after installing this seat was all I needed to know!
1. It bears your weight on your bottom (not your tender, inmost parts)(It is actually shaped like a seat {not a suppository}!)
2. You can rest your weight (even while peddling)on your "sit bones." Your weight is supported by your skeletal structure.
3. The seat is very "male" comfortable (no more pressing and squeezing). It would also be much more comfortable for women as well, but its the difference between "night and day" for a man!
Im thinking of getting another one for my in-door "exercise" bike too. My wife also thinks its a marked improvement over a traditional style seat!
Adjustment makes the difference     On: 2007-06-27

I use this on my Schwinn 112 upright exercise bike. It took me a while to figure this out: 1) It has to be angled down slightly (I actually figured this part out right away), 2) The seat has to be slid all the way back, and 3) . . . I think this made the most difference . . . I had the seat height on 8, and always felt like I was sliding down. I lowered the seat height to 7, and that seemed better, but a little too low. I drilled an extra hole so the height could be between 7 and 8 (7.5), and now its just right (I drilled a hole in the wrong place the first time. It has to be drilled lower than what you think. I dont notice any weakening of the seat support bar with two extra holes in it.).

Freakin' Awesome Seat!!!!     On: 2007-06-23

Ive read all the reviews for this one. I couldnt believe so many people did not like it. Im a tall guy, at 63", and i dont have any of the problems described by those who did not like this seat. I think if your big guy, youll find that this is best seat for you. I can ride for hours & hours without any sort of pain with this seat.

Get the seat, It rules!
Thanks amazon.

Not comfortable at all no matter how I adjust it. Wish I hadnt bought it. Too hard.
Not good     On: 2007-03-27

I bought this seat for my husband. He tried to use it, stopped and adjusted it, still he did not like it. Complained that he had to hold himself on the seat with his arms. I thought it was just him, so I tried it. I used it on two rides and said, Take it off. Maybe it depends on the type of bike you ride. Well, I have ordered another Schwinn seat and hope it works out okay.

Very cushy for your tushy     On: 2007-01-11

I live a mile and a half from my office and I have occasionally gotten on my bike and rode it to work. The trouble is that I always felt sore all day even though the ride is not very far. This made me not want to do this very often. Im at the point in my life where I really need to get some exercise and figured that riding to work would be ideal and would even save some gas money. After searching online for a new bike seat, I settled on this one, based on the other reviews. From first hand experience, I can tell you that this seat has made all the difference in the world. It is very padded and broad and does not have the pointy part that can make a man, shall we say, uncomfortable. I now ride to work often and never have the soreness problem. The seat takes a little getting used to, but once you get over the slight feeling of leaning forward, it is fine. I highly recommend this bike seat. A good product at a good price.
No Pressure, however, no comfort     On: 2006-11-17

No matter what height or angle I adjusted the seat I could not find it comfortable. When pedalling down, the seat would dig into the back of my legs. To angle the front of the seat downward enough to eliminate this was so extreme that I would slide of the seat entirely. Still searching for a hornless comfortable seat.
For Real Men, With Real Butts and Real Plumbing     On: 2006-11-16

I bought a Raleigh GRUV bicycle a few months ago so I could do some riding with my girlfriend. The GRUV is an odd looking machine, but it was absolutely the most comfortable bike I test rode. Having not been on a bicycle for over 25 years, I wanted to build some endurance before I got together with my gal for a pleasant weekend ride. After my short "practice" rides in the evenings, I suffered from some mild but noticeable numbness in unmentionable, "manly" areas. I never suffered from this when I was a youngster, so I figured it would pass after I got used to riding again. I figured wrong. I went for my much anticipated weekend "date ride" (about 10 miles worth of nice, paved trails). By the end of the trip, the "comfortable" stock seat on that bike had caused many miserable and painful "sensations". So I did some research and came-up with the Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat. Ordered it right here off of Amazon. Installed easily on the seat post that came with the bike. Took a bit of adjusting to get the height set where I wanted it. It seems more comfortable when it is positioned a little lower than a regular style seat. GOOD LORD what a difference! It does take a bit of getting use to, but once you get the feel of it, youll love it!! Now I can ride for hours and when Im done, I dont feel like an alien abduction victim whos been "probed". Its not a 100% solution to the "male pressure" problem - but pretty darn close!! If youre a casual bike rider, looking for a comfortable seat, give this one a shot. Im betting you (and your private parts) will be much pleased and satisfied!!

It does take a bit of getting use to, but once you get the feel of it, youll love it!! Now I can ride for hours and when Im done, I dont feel like an alien abduction victim whos been "probed". Its not a 100% solution to the "male pressure" problem - but pretty darn close!! If youre a casual bike rider, looking for a comfortable seat, give this one a shot. Im betting you (and your private parts) will be much pleased and satisfied!!

This seat was for my wife after trying several seat she is happy with this one. She rides several miles each day and the seat has mate the ride more confortable. If any thing happened to this one would have to have another
Terrible     On: 2006-10-22

I bought this saddle just to see how it would work. In order to pedal, the seat either has to be lowered significantly, or you have to sit on the edge of it. Either way, on the downstroke, the corners of the seat dig into the insertion points of your hamstrings. You lose a lot of power, and expend a lot of energy trying to stay on the seat. Dont buy it. Buy the E3 Form Gel instead.

Great ride     On: 2006-10-10

I bought a new bike and the seat made it almost impossible to ride. I purchased a gel cover, but still was uncomfortable. Finally, in desperation, I went searching for a new bike seat. This one is amazing! I can now ride my bike for more than one hour without the slightest bit of discomfort. Its a great buy
FANTASTIC!!!!     On: 2006-08-21

WOW!! This seat is great! I had an ileostomy about a year ago, and during the recovery process I gained a lot of weight. This weight, coupled with a very tender backside, meant that I needed an extremely comfortable seat. I saw a seat at Wal-Mart that had springs, gel, and was nine inches wide. When I pushed on it, it seemed like a very comfortable seat so I purchased it. After installing it, I rode approximately two blocks and had to get off, needless to say, I returned it, and purchased this one. This seat is truly a godsend! I dont know how they make it so comfortable, ( there are no springs that I can see ) but it is like sitting on a heavily padded bench. It also adjusts front to back, like a car seat, once its set, tightening the mounting nuts locks it securely in place. I found this feature handy due to the fact that Im over six feet tall and needed the leg room. A previous reviewer commented on feeling like they were falling off when riding downhill, I did not have this problem at all, maybe due to my weight. (?) I have nothing bad to say about this seat. Schwinn, ya done good!

Amazon did good too, delivery in only five days!

What a difference!     On: 2006-08-08

It is worth every penny. Much more comfortable than most stock seats. You can ride much farther with this seat without your hind end hurting.
Not as Comfortable as Billed     On: 2006-07-07

I purchased this seat recently because I thought I would like it better than the hard seat that I previouly had. I really liked the fact that it didnt have a middle part sticking out that was so uncomfortable on my other seat. What I have found is that while its more comfortable than my other seat, its not as great as promised. It is much more comfortable once it was properly adjusted but I now have the feeling that I might slip off especially when going across slanted driveways or down hills. I am still on the lookout for the perfectly comfortable seat.
