Swollen "ahem....."

I also discovered that traditional bike shorts do not work. I need less padding and always use tri shorts. Good luck.

I completely agree. At one point, I took scissors and cut out the centers of the pads in my shorts. Not my best idea ever: they formed an abrasion trap. I have found that some of the men's shorts have pads that are designed with less padding in the center instead of more. And I reiterate, more padding id definitely not better for me, it's worse.

Yikes, the description sounds so awful and painful!

I guess when you lean that far forward you are putting all your weight right on your labia on a stiff object for hours instead of back on your sit bones, and then riding/bumping directly on your soft tissue there. I'm not sure how any saddle can be expected to correct this situation? Can you put more weight on your feet while you ride?
