Seat Cover

Ordered one of these...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s a seat cover for my exercise bike, mainly bought to protect the saddle from damage as I already have a small nick in it probably from wearing jeans while riding it.

It should make it more comfortable as well although after a few days the initial saddle soreness wore off and it’s not uncomfortable now.

I can’t imagine anything less comfortable than jeans, cover or not. Consider wearing something else that doesn’t have a huge knot of seams against your bits.

I nearly bought one of these Zacro seat covers from eBay...

https://tinyurl.com/8zfkvs9z

They were £ 9.95 with £ 1.99 delivery, then I read this on Amazon about fake ones...



So I spent a bit more and ordered from Amazon, it was a Chinese based marketplace seller with orders fulfilled by Amazon. I paid £ 19.16 ex VAT and I believe mine to be genuine as it has the Zacro label on it.
