The discomfort is what got me thinking that it might be time for a new saddle.
It's really common for cut out saddles to break down over time and become uncomfortable even if they were great in the beginning.

I used to use a Terry Butterfly as well but I got tired of having to replace it every year, so I thought I'd try a no cut out saddle and when I found a saddle with the right amount of support that was very flat, I found I had way less lady bit soreness and chafing. So sometimes a cut out is not the answer to lady bit soreness.
