I know what your talking about, I tried finding one for myself because I have hemorids. I checked the two local medical supply stores and they did'nt have them. So my need being great, I went to a local tire store that sold tires and tubes for four wheelers. I purchased a tube, I don't remember the size but it works great. I can say that I am "on the tube" while I watch the tube (tv)
Good luck on your search.
Peace

Thank you, Dick for your response..love your sense of humor. We will be going to Albuquerque early next month..and if we are unsuccessful in finding a true "donut" we plan on taking your suggestion..we truly appreciate your help.
Best to you

Thank you, Sprite. We were finally successful and found three different kinds at Walgreen's. And guess what..he doesn't like them..says it puts him too high..LOL.
