    Finally I discovered my problem… I was always complained about my intimate parts being totally on fire after a long ride, especially if I sweat too much or if for any reason I wet my butt on a river or something!

    My riding girlfriends sometimes complain about it too, but not with the same regularity as me, and until today when I finally read about the size of labia I was still wondering "what it’s wrong with me"…

    Now that I’m aware about it I can finally understand, but still I get the feeling that is a problem that will persist forever!

    I bought a new saddle a few months ago (Selle Italia SLK Lady Gel Flow) and I’m feeling better on the front, although considering that is more tough saddle, in long rides sometimes I end with a bit of “buttache”

    I've just been silly and posted a similar thread before checking if there was one already going. Sorry.
    I suffer the same problem - most likely larger than average bits (but i haven't compared either! )
    I wonder if anyone has tried these saddles?

    As i said in my post - I see how all the Olypics track girls sit right up on the front tip of their saddles. Does this mean a noseless saddle is a big no-no?
    it looks perfect to me

    I bought one of the many varieties of the two-pad saddles a few years ago.

    Scared the cr*p out of me, because it had no nose and very little contact, so suddenly I'd lost my means of controlling the bike! The only way I could ride with that saddle was if I plopped my butt down heavily and stayed that way.

    Riding style is very important with this kind of saddle. I tend to dance with the bike more than sit on it, so it just didn't work for me.

    Try one if it interests you, they are definitely a memorable experience! (whether it works for you or not, it is a hoot to ride on!)

    I'm a member of the Brooks Cult, and have multiple B67 saddles. When you find the saddle that works for you, buy LOTS!!!
