The review had originally been posted on the Kmart website, with the reviewer saying after buying the item, her “tooshie is now a lot happier”.

“I recently lost a lot of weight and subsequently lost my a** – just the padding, the rest is still there,” the woman wrote.

“I needed a replacement because my tailbone couldn’t handle the pressure of the loss of its padding.

“Take my bloody money,” wrote another, while a third added: “Haha, multiple added benefits I see with this.”

While it could be ideal for long-haul flights, whether you want carry it around is the question.

It’s 45cm wide and has a height of 6cm – so it’s do-able.

Others who have purchased the product said they have found a noticeable difference to their “sore back, glutes and feet”.

“Bought this item as I had a fall and hurt my tailbone and had to drive through to Perth that week. Don’t think I could have done it without the cushion. Very impressed still using it just to take the pressure off my tailbone – it takes a while to heal,” one woman wrote, referring a long road trip.

“Very pleased with cushion, I’ve had many different ones for my car over the years for a bad back, this is the best!” added another.
