Hi,

Whatever, I'm no expert on saddles but know a bit. Male.

Male saddles can be flat, female saddles should be curved.
The unisex saddle I bought for my folder is more curved
than the seat shown for the bike but otherwise quite similar.

My flat road bike saddle I can move around on, but the folder
not so much. I understand a good womens saddle is not only
wider but much more curved than a mens saddle, with only
one comfortable seating position you can rotate around.

If it feels like your sat on a hill, the seat is too flat.
As well as width look for a decent curve front to back.

rgds, sreten.

Generally male sit bones are flat compared to female sit bones.
Generally males can use a flat saddle and its all wrong for females.
Generally female saddles should have a pronounced front to back curve.
