If in doubt, ask your doctor for advice.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0e2a47;margin-top:26px\" id=\"why-a-rear-cut-out\">Why a rear cut-out?<\/h3>\n<p>In some cases of common coccydynia, the pain is linked to instability of the tailbone <strong>under the load of sitting<\/strong>: dislocation or hypermobility, visible on X-rays taken sitting but not lying down. Dr. Jean-Yves Maigne, a pioneer of the modern approach to coccydynia, demonstrated this mechanism (Maigne, Guedj &amp; Straus, <em>Spine<\/em>, 1994). It is not the only possible cause. When direct pressure under the tailbone triggers the pain, removing that pressure limits the load placed on it when sitting.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0e2a47;margin-top:26px\" id=\"what-the-seat-does\">What the seat does<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rear cut-out:<\/strong> it removes seat contact behind the anus and under the tailbone, while the perineum, the sit bones and the sides remain supported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Independent supports, balance, micro-movements:<\/strong> as for the whole range. You initiate the movement; the seat accompanies it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0e2a47;margin-top:26px\" id=\"what-has-been-evaluated\">What has been evaluated<\/h3>\n<p>Kept after the trial (85% at 30 days); patent FR 3 140 745 B1 and EP\/US applications; Aporia was presented on the Blue Portance stand at the 4th International Coccydynia Symposium (Paris Coccyx 2023, Paris, July 6\u20137, 2023). <em>Aporia\u00ae is not a medical device.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0e2a47;margin-top:26px\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is the difference between a rear cut-out and a central cut-out?<\/strong> The rear cut-out removes support under the tailbone: 6 cm between the rear supports, narrowing to 3 cm toward the center. The central cut-out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blueportance.com\/en\/products\/aporia-perinee-pudendal-neuralgia-cushion\/\">P\u00e9rin\u00e9e<\/a> version removes support in the center, under the perineum. They do not clear the same area: a rear cut-out does not relieve the perineum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the Coccyx cushion suitable if my perineum also hurts?<\/strong> Not necessarily: a rear cut-out does not relieve the perineum. If the pain extends to the center, the extent of the area that does not tolerate pressure points toward a central cut-out (<a href=\"https:\/\/blueportance.com\/en\/products\/aporia-perinee-pudendal-neuralgia-cushion\/\">P\u00e9rin\u00e9e<\/a>) or a continuous center channel (<a href=\"https:\/\/blueportance.com\/en\/products\/aporia-canyon-perineal-relief-cushion\/\">Aporia Canyon<\/a>). If the sit bones are also painful, look for the version that keeps the necessary area out of contact while keeping the most continuous support around them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the cushion suitable after a fall on the tailbone?<\/strong> Significant or persistent pain after a fall, or pain with unusual signs, calls for medical advice. After that, if direct pressure under the tailbone triggers the pain when sitting, a rear cut-out limits the load on that area. Aporia does not replace medical advice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I try it before buying?<\/strong> Yes. You have a 30-day trial. Returns are free from anywhere in the European Union, and you choose between an exchange (version and\/or firmness) and a full refund. For an exchange, shipping of the new product is at your expense and the product you receive gets a new 15-day trial. 85% of cushions are kept at the end of the 30-day trial.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#0e2a47;margin-top:26px\" id=\"reviews\">Customer reviews<\/h3>\n<p><em>Reviews translated from French.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cAfter 5 years of pain, it is the only cushion that has given me lasting relief for hours of sitting\u201d \u2013 Vanessa B., healthcare manager<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAfter a fall on a wet terrace, I could no longer sit for long (\u2026) The Blue Portance cushion lets me stay seated all day.\u201d \u2013 Isabelle L.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A word from the founder and president<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left:4px solid #dbeaf7;margin:12px 0;padding:6px 14px;color:#444\">\n<p>\u201cI have lived with chronic degenerative disc disease for more than twenty years.
