Is your saddle really soft and cushy? Sometimes a soft and cushy saddle allows your body to "sink in" a little too much, putting pressure on areas we don't want pressure. A seat that is more firm allows the "sit bones" to support our weight, and keeping our tender areas from too much pressure. I hope this helps. I ride with a Brooks leather saddle with springs, and it's very, very comfortable. People either swear by the stiffer saddles, or hate them, but I've found they mold to your body and it's like sitting on something that was made just for you (after a few hundred mile break in period that is totally worth it!) Happy riding!
