A year into riding my Peloton, one thing still holds (and has since the beginning): Pelotons are a pain in the butt, literally. Sitting on a bike is uncomfortable enough, but mix in Tunde Oyeneyin's ass-kicking HIIT workouts, and my glutes — along with the rest of my muscles — are constantly sore. Ironically, this is exactly what motivates me to hop back on the bike — it's what the Peloton community calls the "sore bum conundrum."

Fortunately, there are a number of Peloton-compatible cushions to help you power through bruised tailbones and achy glutes. Keep reading to shop the options and get closer to those buns of steel.
