This was not a good feeling. I tried some different placement (nose down a tad, further back) that did help minimally.
Saddles are perhaps more subject to personal preference than any other part on a bike. By this I mean that what works for one may not work for another. I would highly suggest trying one of our women specific saddles, like the Ruby, if you are having pain in the rami areas.
