Ben, Scrotum pressure sore? I think you might be sitting on your scrotum when you get in your chair. After I get in my chair, I recline my chair and have my caregivers reach in my pants and pull my sack out from under me. I have them cup my package as they recline my chair up to make sure I don't end up sitting on my sack. Why do I suspect that is what is causing you sore? The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago On Thu, Apr 11, 2024 at 12:43 PM Ben Mattlin <benmatt...@gmail.com <mailto:benmatt...@gmail.com> > wrote: Can anyone explain why the Ride cushion is different/better? I'm currently in bed because of a scrotum pressure wound, and I've been using a Roho Quadtro for the past several years (after many more years on memory foam cushions).

Not saying that it shouldn't be used. Just say be careful.
