Takes some getting used to, but I can feel the difference
When I first read the reviews on this product, I noticed a few people said their butts hurt from sitting on it. The first night I got the backjoy, the same thing happened to me.
I thought, "What am I missing?"
So I went back to the box, and low and behold found a little quickstart guide titled, "Read this first!"
I read it, then tried the backjoy again. After a few minutes, I finally found the comfort-spot where I was perfectly supported.
After sitting in it for a while, my back felt a little achy. I wondered if perhaps I was again using it wrong, so the instructions said:
"Try sitting without the Backjoy and notice any differences."
So I did that, and immediately I realized that sitting normally hurt my tailbone and butt even more!
It turns out that it actually takes some time for the back to adjust to sitting properly (imagine that!)
Long story short: It's now about 30 days after I bought this, and I'm still getting used to it but I definitely feel the difference and will continue to use it.
If you're having trouble with it, read the instructions and try it for a few weeks. When you find the 'sweet spot' you'll notice the difference instantly.
