put some water in it - you'll know if it's leaking.
add red food color just to get everyone's attention.

I also
use a Roho. I have my PCAs check it every morning and whenever I get off and
on it. They do slowly loose air over time. I've heard that they used to come
equipped with a gauge that showed how much pressure was in the cushion. I wish
I could get ahold of one!

I have been on the
roho for about 31 years, I first had a gel cushion although it was not
Jay. I did try to Jay cushion for a short time, but did not feel as
comfortable. I go by Robo only I have had a number of breakdowns
because it went flat. I didn't know it was flat, of course. It
should have some system to let you know when it is losing the air, since we
cannot feel.
You just have to be careful and check. I
oftentimes look at my full-length mirror to see if I am sitting straight and
if the cushion looks full
What do the rest
of you to do safe check your Roho?
Dana.
I was
getting a lot of break downs from my Jay Cushion but now since they
give
me this Deep Contour Jay Cushion I have had no break downs what so
ever
and I sit every bit of 10 hours a day in my chair taking the very
important
weight shifts every 2 to 2 1/2 hours in between for 15 to 18
minutes. It's been
6 years now since I got this new Deep Contour Jay
Cushion.

- Well....I think that the Roho cushions give you better protection
against skin breakdown if you are at high risk. These cushions have two
drawbacks....the first being they will puncture and need to be refilled
occasionally, the second is if you can transfer they make it harder.

- The Jay gel cushions offer easy transfers, and are maintenance free
besides an occasional wipe down. They give good skin protection as am nine
years into my injury with no buttocks breakdowns.

- In short if you need ultimate protection on your but and dont care
about the downsides a roho is for you. If you are more active or
have more function a gel will meet your needs.
