Is it the saddle or me?

Lithia is MUCH nicer but still have chaffing on the inside thighs. Nothing terrible, just minor. You can tell where your sit bones should be which is nice. So is chaffing a clothing issue or do I need a different saddle? Thanks to having my sit bones where they are supposed to be, I was able to spin better and ride faster at 14-15mph. Sit bones and front seem great. Now it's my thunder thighs..LOL.

The guy from Amazon had already sent off my Selle Italia Diva saddle but said I could return it. Amazon spec gave it a 152x270 but it sounds like it really runs at a 160? Should I try it out if he'll let me return it used?

I picked the Lithia because it had the smallest cut-out.

A saddle with a narrower nose may be helpful but if your sit bones to pubic area are happy, you're on the right track. I would try just lubing up with Body glide on the inner thighs first and see if that solve the problem.

I would suggest trying it out. I have a lot of women that are very happy with that saddle.

Took the Lithia saddle out on the back roads. MUCH better even going over gravel. Emailed the store to see if the owner would let me try out the Selle Italia Diva as it showed up today. Wow..talk about fast shipping since I ordered it Wed. or Thurs.
