Gel saddle covers

It will depend. My wife has a female saddle (with cutout) and it helps. Some women can cope with a solid male saddle.

Do women specific saddles make much difference, its just that I am planning on buying a ridgeback cyclone which is a unisex bike it seems and I don't want a sore bum

See if the shop will fit a ladies saddle to it. Most shops have offered to do this for me when I've been looking at men's bikes without me even having to ask.

Why not buy a recumbent and never have to worry about a sore ar$e ever again. No neck, wrist, shoulder pain or numbness in your notcher either.

Yeah, but you have to get used to people pointing and laughing at you...


recumbent riders are one thing us d/f bike riders can really look down on.

Cheers all..Ordered myself some middle-priced padded shorts from Wiggle, hopefully they'll be here tomorrow!

I have a women's saddle on my hybrid. I found it comfy straight away. I have a normal Brooks B17 saddle on my tourer. I found it comfy straight away. So it all depends - I don't think those horribly razor thin looking male saddles would do you any favours though!

I have a ladies saddle on my BSA 20. Well, what do you expect, it was my Mum's.
