I have a female specific saddle and it changed my life! However I don't think those holey bits do anything, its all about the width of your seat bones (and firmness, I think the harder the more comfortable,personally). I thought I may have quite large seat bones because I'm tall but it turned out they're not, you just never know I suppose!....I think if you are anywhere near sitting on the more delicate areas :) and already have a female specific saddle that you've had fitted, then you maybe need to look at other areas of your bike that aren't perhaps fitting you right in other ways. I found playing around more with the length of the stem and handle bars to be far more critical, as it allowed me to roll back and sit on my seat bones rather that stretching too far forward and then being uncomfortable. They seemed like minute changes, but made a huge difference.
