They are talking about the perfect seat for the clitoris

The real question is since her bike seat could find the clit could you? I feel like someone needed to make a joke like this!

Haha well the sores were a dead giveaway!

Unbelieveable

Well, if you had MY clitoris (and I am the OP of that thread at BT) you’d be looking for answers anywhere you could and grasping at any straws thrown your way, but apparently you all would rather be AssHats and revel in your ASSITUDE.

No doubt. Good luck.

Funny how the BT OP didn’t post it up on ST. I only remember her since she’s the chick that lives somewhere in Mexico.

I did post in womyns. Gee, I wonder why I didn’t post here… (use the pink at your discretion)

but there are also a lot of softies and losers.

Could you elaborate on what a softy and looser is? Thanks

I don’t think my reaction to your subject title was too far off the deep end, but I apologize if you really didn’t mean to say what your post implied.

You’re right. I’m sorry. But I’m still stuck in the 7th grade and I can’t help it. I’ve tried. Believe me. Although when I was in the 7th grade, I’m not sure I knew what a clitoris was. So I could be working on an 11th grade level here, which is a slight improvement for me.

I hope you are able to find a solution to your issue. Really, I do.

Sorry ladies. Only dudes are allowed to talk about how their genitals are in pain while riding bikes.

“I have a festering boil on my anus, what saddle should I get ST?”
“Help! My dick is numb!~~~!!! MY DICK !!!”
“The chafing on my balls is terrible with this seat! What should I do?”

Since you’re having so much fun with the subject, why not be constructive. Any ideas? I’m still hurting from last night’s ride. And FTR, I never used the term VAGINA as it would be all but impossible to hurt your VAGINA with a bike seat unless you inserted the nose of the seat INTO your VAGINA and I am 100% certain I never mentioned inserting the nose into my VAGINA. What is tender and painful and where I have open sores is my VULVA and CLITORAL areas, specifcally the area between the CLITORAL HOOD and the junction of the LABIAL LIPS. I’m suspecting a fit issue but I’m grasping at straws because I am desperate to solve this issue.

So, any constructive help or do you exist just to poke sophomoric fun?

Use the search function. Like I said, it wasn’t my intention to there.

What a fucking cop-out. You’re stuck in 7th grade and can’t find your way out and you’ve TRIED? Oh, my heart bleeds for you. How about a simple, “I’m sorry.” Justifying your assitude isn’t really an apology.

I just assumed that not having the extra gland (penis and balls) there was a benefit. In fact, I always wondered how much more comfortable a bike seat would be for a woman. But perhaps I was wrong. I’m planning on demoing an Adamo myself in the next couple of days since I too haven’t found a good saddle.

Your penis and testicles will thank you.

Way to go Cathy!

For me - one word - tons of lube. (Assos really stings, but Chamois Butt’r - it does not sting, can apply in directly on skin).

TheForge - that’s it, I’m calling your mother! (“>>Hello? Mrs. TheForge?”“”)

Edited to add: Cathy, R U sure it’s you clit that’s hurding? Cuz girl - you have balls!!

What’s wrong with discussing saddle issues?

It was a little detailed and medical-like, but whatever. We’re adults.

Only of adult age, let’s not confuse the two :wink:

You are right, I was being sophomoric. I impulsively posted this without any regards to peoples feelings. So let see what constructive discussion can come out of this. Honestly. I am about 210 with not much padding in those sensitive areas. For rides beyond 20, I can only wear De Soto rivieras. At least those are the only shorts I have found don’t leave me chafed or with pressure soreness. But even then I have to put a lot of body glide on and in every nook and crany. Currently I have my stock saddle on my transition, but the Adamo looks like it will address my personal issues. As guys we through conditioning choose one side or another on a saddle, but women probably through conditioning sit right in the center. A larger then average clitoris I guess could create a similar discomfort to a penis (sans the balls). But the Adamo looks like it to could address that issue. Adamo has an anatomical diagram for the seat fit for both men and women.

Have you tried an Adamo saddle? If you are sitting on it correctly, all the pressure is on your sit bones. There is no way that you could put pressue on the areas with which you are having problems. Sitting on the sit bones takes some getting used to, which is another issue for some folks, but it just takes time to adjust.

BTW, I have the same bike you are on in that picture. Trek OCLV 5200, circa 1995. My first “real” bike. I used to race on it, with a forward seat post and aerobars, until I got a tri bike. I still have it, currently on the trainer in the basement, but it still gets ridden on the road here and there. I love that bike.

Good luck. Sounds very painful.

I don’t know how you girls walk around with those things. :wink:

Since that specific region isn’t/shouldn’t be even contacting the saddle - wouldn’t it be more of a shorts/chamois/lube issue??

Hi Kathy!

I don’t know if you remember me, but I met you at the sprint tri in Playa Del Carmen earlier this year! :slight_smile:

I am so sorry to hear about your pain. I have a saddle sore right now that I just got antibiotics for…it’s been hanging around since I was in Mexico. In my case (it is in a different area than yours), I lost weight and my shorts would get all the more loose when I would ride and sweat in the humidity of Cozumel. Wet, baggy spandex chafing the crap out of me – ugh!! My problem area is where the leg joins the crotch – that area.

I just thought I would throw the idea out there of getting antibiotics for your sores. I’d been swabbing the spot with rubbing alcohol and using polysporin, but it was still hanging around. (i.e. I could squeeze a little bit of pus out of it every morning – nice.) My doc just prescribed this antiobiotic (mixed with other stuff) cream. I apply it once a day. It sounds like your sores are not healing, so I wanted to write you and tell you about my experience.

In my case, there is also a hard ridge of either scar tissue or other crap that may have to be excised (frigging excised!!) and then stitched up. I am waiting until after IMCoz for that though. (And crossing my fingers that I don’t have to have that done. CRAP. lol!) In the meantime, I changed seats, and wear tight proper fitting shorts and so far so good.

Good luck to you – I really hope you can get this resolved quickly and you do not have to suffer anymore!!!
