Rowing - seat pad to avoid sore bum

[HanaWana]

Notice rower here. Love it but find my bum gets sore. This is about the skin getting sore rather than related to muscles / posture.

The gel seat pad on Crewroom hasn't got particularly good reviews.

Considered cycling shorts but the padding is in the wrong place.

Any recommedations for seat pads or other ideas gratefully received

The classic seat pads used by many rowers are from Godfrey: https://godfrey.co.uk/rowing/accessories/seat-grip
On the rowing machine, some people just fold up a small towel to the same size as the seat, but the Godfrey grips are neat and effective. Note that there are men's and women's version for on-the-water rowing, with differently spaced holes which can make a difference to comfort.

Great zoop1 will take a look at that
