I am not riding super far right now, but I thought that I would be a little proactive. I read the thread about larger than average girly bits awhile back, with great interest. Nice to know that I have company. I have found that I really need a saddle with a cutout or I am in for a painful ride. I also find that if I wear padded shorts with my comfy cutout saddle, I am almost as sore when I am done as when I use a saddle with no cutout. Consequently, I have been riding in non-padded shorts. (I was going to say riding without padded shorts, but that image didn't seem right, LOL!) As I've increased my mileage to 20 miles a couple times a week, I am finding that my sit bones would really appreciate the extra padding. Anyone have suggestions for a happy medium...shorts that won't hurt the girly bits, but pad the sit bones?
