I was actually just going through my emails to find out about the return policy. You could take this with a grain of salt. Nobody cares about my opinion. I think the hype was way better than the actual butt pad to be honest that actually kind of bothered me and it made it worse. I’ve written a few hours in total with it. Maybe that’s not enough, but that was definitely enough for me. I had my girl take it and I preferred a seat by itself

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Unfortunately they don't solve everyone's comfort issue. But that's why we have a return policy. Per your email to us, I've emailed you back with a copy of the paperwork that originally came with your order detailing the return procedure. We'll take care of the credit as soon as it's received.

Maybe better QC

I’m sure this is a great product, but right off the jump mine was received with what looks like smeared “blurred” artwork. I also found a 1/2” tear in the stitching. I’m currently using it without the cover.

Reply from Butt Buffer

Would you send a photo of the blurred artwork to peter@buttbuffer.com
Apparently something "slipped through the cracks" that never should have gone out the door. A replacement cover will be on it's way to you tomorrow.
As of 9/27 we have not received the requested photo. Since it's an embroidery and not a screen print it's hard to imagine how it could be "blurred." Open seams happen. QC should have picked it up. And as mentioned, a replacement cover was sent.

Worth the money to me.....

I was just about to contact one of the custom seat makers when I ran across this product. I believe that with the addition of the Butt Buffer I'm going to be able to use the stock seat. I have a bit over 1000 miles on the Buffer and it's made the seat tolerable. Excellent product and the owner of the company seems a standup guy.

Large Ventilated pad

Like the pad, but wish it was a little more ventilated as it still doesn't completely prevent your butt from sweating on those hit days. Hoping that the flat stretch straps don't lose there tension. Would recommend that the ends of strap be velcoed to keep the plastic clips in place.

Reply from Butt Buffer

If the straps ever lose their elasticity, we'll replace the cover for you. The straps are velcroed. They attach to the velcro on the bottom of the pad.
Thanks for your feedback.

My ride more enjoyable

Bought this buffer because my wife bought a Saddle-men seat for my Goldwing. She disliked the Goldwing seat. BUTT, the Honda seat to me is better. Now to solve the problem: I bought this buffer and it works great. I won't tie it down under the seat because on a Goldwing it would be a pain to remove the seat at each hotel you stop at. I went on a 130 mile ride around western CT/MA and the buffer stayed in place and didn't move. The backside has a firm sticky rubber that holds the buffer in place. By the way I bought the red one to match my bike. Yes, I get laugh at but I stand there proudly knowing my rump is NOT hurting.

Thank you.
The clips that come with the pad are designed to snap under the lip of the seat. It's not necessary to remove the Goldwing seat to secure the pad.
