Who Uses a Saddle Cover for IMs and Which Brand

I was wondering if anyone uses one of these for long training rides and for IM distance racing. If so, which model do you like/recommend? Desoto Sports, QR Mr. Flitie, Elite, etc.

Also, while on the topic of buttock/perineal protection and comfort, does anyone who rides a CompuTrainer find that they experience discomfort when on CT but usually has no problems while training on the road. I find that after about 1 1/2 hours on CT my perineum gets quite uncomfortable whereas I can go several hours on the road with little or no discomfort. I am wondering if one of these saddle covers might help me while I’m doing a CT trainer ride?

I’ve used the QR saddle pad in the past and liked it. I’m probably going to put one on my new bike so I can wear tri shorts at Lake Placid.

I have a DeSoto cover on my tri-bike and a QR on my road bike. They both work fine and they really make a difference in comfort on those 112 miles rides.
