Does anyone here have the Gypsy Sit Upon and if so how do you feel about it? I am especially interested in hearing from anyone who...how do I say this delicately?...has a full-figure bottom.

BTW, it's a purplish round nubby textured pillow thing to sit on

my friend bought one and doesn't really like it

I tried one out, briefly, at a sewing show and I liked it. Too expensive there, though. Much cheaper at Hittle's Sewing.

Do you know what she didn't like about it?

The picture and description look a lot like the cushion that my special needs wiggly students sit on if they need to. The inflatable cushion makes them have to balance themselves a little and it takes some of their energy to do that...keeps them sitting with correct posture.

I wouldn't like those nubs... I wonder if they have these without them?

When I worked in the schools I was in a course for sp. ed. students and the instructor showed us something like this and asked us to sit on it. Well, if this is anything like I sat on I'll definitely be getting one!!! I've had lower back problems over the years and as soon as I sat on this thing - did my back feel wonderful. I would really like to find it locally to sit on and try it out to make sure its the samething though.

And I do have a wide load!! :-D

I have to look these up. I've never heard of them.

Reminds me of the beaded seat covers that were popular in the late 80's. Did anyone else use those. I wore one out driving from Florida to Indiana during grad school, but never replaced it. I'd love to try one out, but not for $30 ish.

Cheers, K

Here's one for $13.00. But shipping is almost 10 bucks! Sheesh, looks comfy, though.

I have one that my kids throw at each other and play on. It was a silly gift from a friend. It's a little strange to sit on!

I might like it if my dimples conform to the nobbies. Other than that - no thanks. No need to massage my butt that badly.

I have to admit it brings up visions of polka dotted butts!

Do they make vibrating versions?

The idea is to make it easier to sew/quilt...not distract you!
But the idea is intriguing.

I wonder if the nubs would be like Croc shoes and almost have a massaging effect. ??? I think the web site said it increases circulation, so it might be possible. I'm not sure how it would make you use core muscles though, it doesn't seem like it'd be round enough. Of course, I have been known to lose my balance on the exercise balls, so maybe this would be safer. tee hee

ROLFLMAO!!!!!

Yes years ago; think I got it thru a gym supply company.
I've since thrown it out.
I'd briefly borrowed one from a friend at a retreat to try it out; thought it was wonderful
Bought it, after sitting a longer period found it annoyingly uncomfortable. I am big bottomed too. The nubbiness got to me plus my bottom got too warm.
My friend doesn't use hers any more either - didn't ask her why.

Oh!! WOOOOO!!! LOL

No kidding- the cellulite does that enough!
