Just ride it. It may be OK for you, but there are plenty of women who call them the torture saddles. I hope it works, but if it's uncomfortable, get another saddle. I spent lots of time & money trying all sorts of lotions and potions that really didn't help because the saddle hurt my soft tissue. As Nanci said in a post---it felt like you were peeing razorblades. Then I finally hit upon a saddle that is just fine. I mean, it's not like sitting in a comfy chair, but my booty is not consuming my thoughts because of the discomfort.
