Thank you both!!! I will try this method when I get home today. How long does one need to sit on the paper before an adequate impression is made?
Oakleaf...in regards to the "bent at the hips" statement...I'm wondering if perhaps doing this on say...a kitchen counter, would allow me to bend forward sufficiently to simulate my riding position...any thoughts on that?
And after reading through that entire thread on sit bone measuring...I still could not find any reference as to whether you should be bare butt or clothed while doing this. Anyone care to tackle that one? LOL

OK, I tried this way back when and was never sure about the measurement part. Do you measure from the center of each sit bone impression or from the inner edge or outer edge?

Kitchen counter should be fine - feet on a chair or drawer, elbows on thighs approximately. Wear something that won't get in the way of an impression. No jeans, nothing bulky, anything else should be fine. If it doesn't print, try again!

Reading the title of this thread, I heard Fred Astaire's voice in my head.

BTW I really like the idea of drawing circles on the sit bone impressions and bringing that to the store with you.
