Anybody like men's saddles? Suggestions?

um, having kids doesn't make your hip bones spread. Being a woman endows you with hips wide enough and a pelvic opening large enough to bear children.

I ride a men's saddle, a Brooks B67

Start experimenting.

they do make skinny mini little women's saddles-- I've seen them. Never tried a men's.

Speaking of saddles, if my front-area lady bits feel squashed on my seat, does that mean I should rotate the saddle with the front down a bit more? I have one of those standard bontrager seats that comes with a lot of WSD models. I'm considering one with a cutaway in the middle.

Thanks - I'll look at the Brooks.

I've been riding for 20 years - and when I started riding there were no women's saddles - at least not in my city's LBS's. So, I might just be used to men's saddles. (We also had to use men's shoes - that was a trick!)

I'll let my gyn know that she's wrong about the pelvic girdle spreading during childbirth.

I don't recommend riding during childbirth.

I have Fizik Ariones on both of my bikes. I find them very comfortable.

If I were to look for a different saddle, I would be looking at men's saddles again. Even though I am very pear-shaped and have wide hips, I have narrowish sit bones (around 125 center to center), and I tend to ride with my hips rolled forward a bit. When I try wider saddles, I always feel like I am running into the wide part, if that makes any sense.

I also do not do well with cutouts.

If you are more comfortable on a narrower saddle, you're in luck -- there's a huge selection to choose from.

Maybe with a large enough cut-out?
