comfort issues

[pumpkinhead]

I am having a hard time getting comfortable on my bike seat. i feel like I am constantly readjusting my position because my it hurts my crotch area. Help

There's a lot of different ways it can hurt. Are you getting saddle sores? Are you sitting on soft tissue rather than your sit bones?

Not everyone can ride the same saddle. We're all built differently, so our bodies need different shapes. Even if two people need the same basic shape, they don't always need the exact same saddle.

There's a whole subforum for Favorite Saddles and another for the evil ones that hurt. Start poking around in there and see if anything rings a bell

I do not have saddle sores but I guess I am sitting on soft tissue! I don't know. Thanks for your help.

Have you tried adjusting your saddle any? I actually prefer mine at very slight angle down...I mean very slight. Some prefer angle up.

I am going to try that on before my ride tmrw morning. Thanks for your help!

Pumpkin- you are not giving us much info to go on.
How about a photo of your bike with saddle? or lacking that....
What kind of bike (that's important), what kind of saddle? Is it cushiony and foam or gel filled? How much are you riding, and how long have you been riding? Where exactly is it hurting- up front on the "girly parts", or in the back on your sitbones, or in your leg creases?...
