Does anyone have any experience with these? And do you know if they fit in airline seats?

I love my IC cushion.
In the summers, I drive a Miata and it really helps me not feel the vibrations and bumps associated with driving a car with a short wheel base.
I have never used the cushion on an airplane but I feel it would fit the seat with no problems. -
It should fit in the seat on the plane with no problem. I have two --- one goes between our car and motor home, the other for inside. I love them.

Thank you both!!
I'm sold!! I've got to have something for my car and IF my husband and I take the trip we're planning in May, I'll need something for the plane. I have my "truckstop ass pillow", but it wasn't specifically made for IC, it was made for truckers who needed a pillow and I was desperate!! I'm buying one NOW!!!

One more question
Do you find that going by weight is the right way to go? I'm very small and I really need the cushion aspect also as it really hurts not just my urethra but also my butt (sorry) and tailbone. Any advice is appreciated!!Katie-46 yr old female dx'd with IC after 15 years of symptoms off and on long term antibiotic use, GERD,IBS and now IC diet, gallbladder removed, endometrial ablation w/tubes tied
