Hey, I actually have both cheap men's and women's versions of smp strike saddles. The nose in the men's is a little narrower and longer by few mm. However, I think because the back is narrower, I didnt chaffe today at all. And believe me I know exactly what you mean by chaffing in the bikini area, don't want to be very specific but because of shaving and chaffing from biking my bikini area skin sort of became different color. So I went and bought chamois butt'r and body glide. To be honest I like body glide for that area better, it stays longer and it's a roll on so it's easier to apply. I think if you want to try that saddle in men's it's a good idea if you try the cheap version first. I mean the $$$$ is about 200 something $ it's insane.
