Saddle comfort

[mbalmer]

I use the KH Freeride saddle. The Nimbus Gel was torture for me. The only way I can ride longer than 1/2 hour is to use some kind of anti-friction cream. I can ride about 3 hours before it gets too painful. I'm female with girlie bits and they suffer. I can't pull my "junk" out of the way. The butt cream stuff keeps my old lady bits from screaming.

What a way with words you have. . . so many pictures in my head right now. The 12 year old in me thinks that this would make a great bumper sticker or at least uni community auto signature:

Bit of an old post, but some of the females on the forum weighed in with advice.

Yeah, there are lot of differences between saddles and their users.

I know that that first seat on our first cheap muni was crap and we had to replace it very early, otherwise my girlfriend an di would have stopped learning to ride. Now i am very comfy with the standard Qu-Ax saddle (on the 20" and 24" Luxus) and the Qu-Ax Muni saddle (on the 26" Muni). Can't say anything about the KH seats, but would definitely like to try them.
Moving the seat as far to the front as possible also did improve the comfort, the more you ride the more you get used to balance your weight so i doesn't get uncomfortable, also being able to ride while standing up and reposition on the seat does help a lot.

From riding with motorcycles (rode through spain, france, italy, england, scottland, irland, austria) i know that the seats with the most padding, most comfortable at the beginning of the trip are the most uncomfortable at the end of the day.

Doing some searching (and finding this thread, being a recent one), and adjusting to putting more weight on the saddle...does tilting the saddle forward (with the nose sticking up as high as possible) help with putting my weight on the saddle? This is a Schwinn saddle where it has a moderate curve and not like the one the OP posted.

With this said, how does saddle angle affect comfort anyway? As in will it help with legs and tiring out as well? Just thought I'd ask here.

+1!

That's why I bought a fiber base in order to make a flatter saddle with firm foam(I'm heavy soft foam compress to much). Still not realized but it will come!
