I have to have a cut out (or "love channel as it was marketted on the packaging...)

When on the mountain bike with the kids in the paddock, I am upright and don't miss it... but on my road bike, where i lean forward and pressure goes on my girly bits, the cut out has made a huge difference, especially now my distances are starting to creep up...

Def have a chat to LBS - pref some women riders so they can give you their experince of what is availbale at LBS...

Good luck, Helen
