I have had one of these noseless seats for about a year. The solution to this problem is pushing the seat towards the rear of the bike, however the resulting reduced pressure on the back of the thighs is replaced by a tendency for you to slip forward and off the seat. You keep having to resist that with your arms repeatedly pushing forward against the handle bars to push your butt back on the seat, which soon becomes a strenuous and unwanted arm workout. However, the amount of arm strength you have to use to. keep from slipping forward off the seat just made me realise how much pressure the horn of a normal seat puts on the crotch to keep you from slipping off, so I have decided not to go back to a normal seat. I have just ordered what I hope will solve the slipping issue. A large well padded seat with a wide horn that has a wide split. By split I mean split completely from the rear starting point of the horn, which would be around where my coccyx or tailbone would sit, to it's tip, and split all the way through vertically. So the my whole perineum should be suspended in the split, but slipping off will be stopped by the two separated halves of the horn either side of my tailbone.
I've been using a noseless bike seat like that on my mountain bike for years and riding 10 plus miles per day. I have never had a problem with it cutting into my thighs. The seat needs to be angled down a tiny bit in the front which prevents that problem from happening. I feel it's the most comfortable seat I've ever used, especially for long rides.
I'm about to try this seat. For MY situation, it should be good. I have a bike that allows me to sit upright. So this should be no different than sitting on a chair. This was not designed for your type of bike.
I bought a seat like this. The handle bars need to be higher than the seat so you sit up right. The front of the seat needs to be in line with the pedal crank axel or even slightly behind it. Lining it up with the front of the seat post should get it close enough. This stops the thigh issue. At least it did for me. Regards.
That seat is ment for comfort riding and it's much better if rider wears skirt so it's mostly for women. Your riding position is supposed to be like 90 degree (back straight up). Works great on oldschool bikes and many women bikes where sitting position is like sitting on the bench.
Exactly what I was feeling as well…I tilted it a little downward and raised the handle I’m gonna try it out and see…I’m leaning towards returning it and getting one with a nose …
You chose wrong seat for the type of bike you have. This is a seat that can be used on bikes with upright body position only - cruisers, city bikes, Dutch bikes. Its a common sense that a seat that is positioned upright literally like a chair will cut into your thighs when your body is not 90 degrees but tilted, because of the geometry of your bike. That idea was meant to fail from the beginning . There's nothing wrong with this saddle you just made the wrong choice for the bike.
Sounds like you need to adjust your saddle position. Try forward and back tilt and it almost certainly needs to go a little lower if you're rubbing the back of your thighs that bad. The saddle tilt can be adjusted by the allen key at the top of the seat post. My 1st guess would be slightly lower at the front.
The problem is that the seat is too wide, lowering it would just negatively impact the knees and performance. His regular saddle could probably use some angle adjustment tho.
The first minute of the video you have literally said nothing just get to the point. Also did you not try to adjust the seat because you said it was cutting into your thought?
Looks like a knockoff. Also, You make me laugh 😂; wouldn't you pretty much get the same effect by cutting off the pointed part of a regular bicycle seat?
I had the same problem, I got a seat post form Amazon for 10 bucks and it let me change the angle of the seat. Best ride ever.

A regular seat bruises the shit out of my vagina I have this one on order and am so excited to try it!
@@kg3185does your seat post allow you to change seat angle?
I appreciate your review sir, thank you. I almost ordered this seat.
No problem

New England accent is the best
My mom was from Boston..sounds like
You needed to have the tilt attachment that's why it was cutting in too the thigh
I’ve heard good things about the Spongy Wonder bike seat, it can be a blessing for any men who need it
Did you try tilting the seat down?
Yes, still hurts the back of the thighs

*I am getting one for free to review because of my TH-cam channel here. Thanks for the advice it totally makes sense. **3:24*
How did you raise your handle bars on a mountain back I like it
Thank u
I had that same issue. Not with that type seat but it was a wider seat I had that same exact bike. Nice bike !
I sympathize with you, I have bought 5 seats and none are what they advertise., Like the Cloud 9, terrible.
Thank You sir.
you are right i have the same seat and it hurts the back of my thighs.
I bought one and came to the same conclusions that you did!!

What App do you use for your speedometer and odometer, please ??
It’s called speedometer, it’s a black icon

You can fast forward for a reason dickhead
It feels horrible to me. My leg hits the aeat before I can get to the bottom of my stride. Stick with skinny seats
Nice of Walmart to take the seat back, most would not because its been used and been near a part of the body that is used for personal functions.

But that would look ratchet as Fucc
Spongy Wonder does not have the problems this has.
Just sit more forward...
