I'm female, if this info is at all relevant, so I appreciate any tips on how to stay comfortable on the saddle. I have a Jamis Coda and I'm using the stock saddle. And yes, I'm wearing padded shorts.
There is a hidden subforum for female riders only. You're very likely to get more focused help there than any other forums. Posts from guys who have really a rather faint idea how a woman feels on a bike won't help you much. We don't even read your posts carefully and start talking about balls and penises
You need to PM one of the moderators or Siu Blue Wind to get access to that forum.
