    Eventually I wound up getting the B68 (not the B68S) because the B17 was not quite wide enough in back for my very wide sit bones. The B68 fits me perfectly.

    Can only speak for myself, but when i don't use any lube that's when I get that kind of discomfort up front. I use simple hypo-allergenic hand cream. Cheap and not greasy. Works for me!

    Thanks for this BleeckerSt Girl, so I was incorrect - that is good to know. I will hold off on going back to the fitter and try applying the lube more directly next time and see if that helps. I think that I have a container of pure shea butter around here somewhere... I am also going to remeasure my sit-bones just in case. I've had that question before whether my original measurements are correct.

    I also don't have the saddle I thought I had, but perhaps I can make this work.
