Thank you all for the replies. I'll literally just grunt and bear it. I've ordered cushioned shorts and a seat cover.
But I'm not happy.
A2, no I have the Concept 2 Model D I believe. It’s super easy to move around (breaks down into 2 easy to move pieces and the bigger piece has rollers so you just roll it out of the way when you’re done with it. I leave mine put together because I’ll jump on it for a quick 5 minutes during the day between meetings or so… I wasn’t really into it that much but with Winter here it’s forced me to use it more… It’s amazing and I’m sure It’ll be a regular in my workouts moving forward. It’s too good of a workout not to use it. It’s easily as good as actual running in regards to burning calories, etc. but it’s full body and low impact. It’s great.
I don’t ride often because of that. Look into getting a cushion and see if that helps. You likely have thicker thighs so you may need better support to keep them from rubbing against your legs and each other, so better underwear, biker shorts, etc.
That being said it takes a while to build up a tolerance for any exercise.
I have a cushion on my bike and sometimes I wear padded pants. And then the right height and posture makes a big difference as well.
I don’t have this personal experience but from a family member: if you’ve got a banana, definitely wear tight undies (and also watch out for false readings on prostate exams if your berries are being squished)

I don’t have a peloton. But took me about three weeks to get used my bike.
Following as I ordered one and will be delivered sometime today 😊
I’m clinically obese and 50 pounds overweight. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust. It gets better.
You have to let yourself heal a bit before getting back on it…I think it’ll take longer if you don’t heal between sessions. Similar experience with a road bike but now when the season starts it’s not as bad.
100% recommend a gel seat cushion which you can find on Amazon. Also suggest getting a bike fitting if you haven’t already had one. Make sure your hips are at the widest part of the seat. It can take about a month to get used to it.
