Ventilated seats may do this but better.

I've owned two cars with ventilated seats. In both, I never used the function more than twice because the primary result was less "oh, how refreshing" and more "did I wet myself?!"

On a hot day I once turned it on for a passenger without saying anything (it had been a few years of owning the car and I forgot the side effect). He had never been in my car before and didn't know about the function. (I promise I wasn't trying to prank him, I just forgot). Within a few minutes he asked me to pull over because he was worried he'd had an accident.

In short, I don't recommend ventilated seats.

No joke that's why I don't like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.

I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the "leather" instead of fabric.

That's also a sign of cheap heated seats vs proper heated seats. Cheap heated seats only heat the bottom pad, making you feel like you pissed yourself. Proper heated seats also heat your back, which makes the whole thing much more effective and enjoyable

Edit: I'd imagine the same holds for ventilated seats
