The only thing that should be hurting are the bones you sit on, and this goes away after a week or two. Any soft tissue pain, especially from being compressed (numbness is a sign this is happening) should be sorted quickly.
Thanx for the reply. The 'sit bones' hurt the first few times I rode the bike, but that pain went away. This is new. It feels more like a compression thing than a rubbing thing, as I was wearing Underarmour underwear for the rides(though I did have jeans on as well).
The seat is the factory Specialized Sirrus "Body Geometry" seat.
