Embarassing Saddle Issues...

[Rebecca19804]

So far in my attempt to find the perfect saddle that does not smash the girly bits, the only one that fits the bill is the Selle SMP. The design absolutely takes 100% of the pressure OFF the girly bits no matter what position I find myself.

I used to have a tremendous amount of pain there but with the Selle SMP saddle, I no longer have a problem with smashed/numb/burning girly bits

Sounds worth checking out. Please could you be more specific about the model of Selle SMP you've got? Searching on eBay brings up at least 4 very distinct and different types under that name.

Thanks!

I've been told the Selle Italia Diva, or the Diva Gel Flow (full cutout) are both good for taking care of problems in the front. I am trying the Gel Flow myself and can hardly wait for the demo saddle to arrive. I am still riding my Brooks until then, but apparently 30 miles was too long to ride it

I have a Selle SMP Plus and a Selle SMP Avant... the Avant is more padded and I believe it's about 5mm narrower. My husband also rides a Selle SMP saddle... his is a TRK. He never ever complained about saddle pain but when I got my first SMP he was so intrigued by the design he took my bike out for a short 10 miler to see how it was. He loved it so much that he bought a Selle SMP TRK for himself that very same day. He said he didn't know there was a real difference between saddles or that he actually WAS in pain until he rode the Selle SMP and felt how much of a difference it made.

Hope that helps
