I'm glad someone finally said something about flappy bits. (At least on the pages I've read).
I've still found nothing I absolutely love. Or at least don't really notice.
On the 'nag I've got one of the gel lady flow things with a cut out. Generally it's rather good, but I still think it's a little wide in the 'flappy bit' area so thigh chafing has been a slight issue still*It is, however, more comfortable in other ways. Maybe the cut out is helping with pressure from my riding position.
On the beater I've got an old generic selle italia which is also pretty good. Very comfy on shorter rides, but I doubt I'd feel the same anything over 20 miles.
Interesting reading about this T shaped idea. Something I'm going to go and do more research on.
After all my trials I'm kind of left wondering whether I have a particularly unusual anatomy. I most likely have the typical wider sit bones of the 'average' female, but I have never found the width at that part of the saddle an issue, just the part at the, err, under-carriage (for want of a better word).
Overshare?
Oh well.
