    Question Saddles for Herpes Sufferer

    I started riding when I was dating my hubby 16 yrs. ago. Four yrs. later, (a year after we were married) I got herpes. I think my bike hubby is a carrier, he had bad shingles once. Thank goodness he has never had it. Now I have a job with huge stress, a great 10 yr. old and more outbreaks. I had to go off Valtrex because it was making me very dizzy, after years of being on and off of it. So I am trying Lysine again. I am thinking about a saddle with a huge cutout - maybe even a man's saddle. I have an old Terry butterfly that was on my old road bike. I bought a new Trek Madone so I have been riding with the Bontrager WSD saddle that came on the bike. I love the Maddie, the saddle is good in the back, but chafes the front where I have the problem. Any recommendations? What about the Selle SLR Lady Gel Flow, the Selle Glider or SLK? I can't be the only woman who rides with this problem. I can't find anything on the internet. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
