Women's vs. men's saddles - Page 2 - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

On my bikes (three) all have female specific saddles. My favs are the two Terry
Saddles. On one I've got a Terry's Liberator TiLite and on the other a Terry's
racing thing. Both very, very comfortable for extended periods.

Cheers, helen s

As a man, I have tried 2-3 times to sit on a women's saddle. Just
wondering, as you did, whether it would make a real difference. The
answer was: Yes, it does ! I felt instantaneously awful on these odd
seats. I wonder if it is that uncomfortable for women to sit on men's
saddles, but if it is, then I must express all my sympathy to women who
had to endure this before specific women's saddle became more common.

To !!XXX!! right it is!

Gino, my Bianchi San Remo came with a men's saddle on it. All I am going to say
is OUCH... to the power of 100. Childbirth was a doddle compared to pain
inflicted by that saddle. Changing the saddle to a Terry's Liberator TiLite is
AAAAHHHH... to the power of 100. As soon as I got Luigi, my Bianchi ML3, I
swapped the saddle for a Terry's - AAAHHHHH
