Women: What's your favorite saddle?

it's more to do with the realisation that women do still get shit, I though they didn't nowadays, but that's mainly because I'm already a bloke, I never experienced those thing, and thus didn't understand it, like simple crass sexual remark that doesn't seemed bad to be because I happen to be a bloke and don't understood why it's bad.

So fuck this shit, I want to understand, I don't want to live in a world where the sexes are treated differently as cliched as that sounded, it's fucking pathetic.

Ed - you are ace

ed just wants an excuse to be allowed into the ladies lavatories.

Bog off ...

Rode my new Fizik Ladies Arione Donna for the first time today, on the Steamroller - less than 20 miles so far but I think it's awesome! Just the right amount of padding. Quite long but that's cool as I change position a fair bit. Not sure I've noticed the 'Wingflex sides'. I'm getting used to the floral pattern.

I am liking my Selle Italia SLK but not in combination with padded shorts. Did 40 miles unpadded on Sunday without a problem. Put on the padded shorts this morning for my 7 mile commute and went numb. Not sure if I perhaps need more of a cutout if I'm wearing pads or whether I'm just better suited to going unpadded.

Julia, just stalk ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SELLE-ITALIA-SLK-LADY-GEL-FLOW-BIKE-SADDLE-SEAT-WHT-2nd-/160616491726?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25657d2ace

It's arrived. The price for vanity ... frikkin' customs charges and fees. Reminds me why I don't stalk the US bay.

even the pretty flowers that you were complaining about?

The 00 has no flowers...

Dov, just quit talking about it and GET ME ONE!

No. See!!!

I'm thinking of approaching the bike shop that I work in about getting three or four high end ladies saddles in so that you lot can come and ride them.
There are also a few wsd bikes in (both in small and mid sizes), so I think they are already fairly savvy to the needs of the lady rider and this shouldn't be much of an issue.

awesome! do it! x

'ladies' - eurgh.

It's like feminism never happened :(

(fair enough if used as affectation and a semantic partner to 'gentlemen', otherwise it's wrapped up in all kinds of nasty gender/class politics - just sayin')

This is a great idea. I'm still using Xander's Charge Stool and although it's fine for pootling around London I would like to experience what a saddle designed specifically for female anatomy has to offer me.

Women has the word 'men' in it thus I prefer the word ladies. Better still gentleladies.

'Men' are only a part of 'women'.

'gentleladies'

pukes on genital organs which are gender neutral until about 7 weeks in utero anyway

Ma'am. and Fizik vitesse is ultra comfortable for me - narrowish hips but big bum

Hmm. I never thought about it like this. The saddle I've got on now (3rd attempt) is fine without padding for about 50 miles. Anything more than that...I'm starting to wonder if I need to start trying a variety of padded shorts. Not cheap though, eh!

worth every penny not to walk like John Wayne. I have some bog standard endura baggies with a non-removable lining that do the job v well

I've found the closer the fitting shorts, the better the comfort/less erm...tenderness, which is a shame as my bum and thigh are way better suited to a baggy look.

Biggest revelation I've had for shorter rides though is seamless knickers. And at 3 for £10 at M&S v affordable. I can usually do up to 50miles with those.

another +infinity for this idea. you would certainly have my custom if that helps your pitch to your work nhatt, need a new saddle badly.
