Howdy,
GF is riding a Kona MTB, but currently has the stock WTB saddle that came with it.

She is finding it very uncomfortable and we will be changing it very soon, i just wanted to ask those ladies who may have tried both the female and male WTB saddles and if there are many appreciable differences, since the Speed She saddle is realtively affordable and looks good, but i dont want her to get a saddle that is similiar to the one she has at the mo.

Aside from WTB, the Selle Italia Ldy gel flow saddle looks good, apparently they take a touch of break in time, but is it worth it?

Please help with any advice on this er, sensitive topic.
Cheers!
Wil

check the sticky FAQ at the top of this forum for many threads on what saddles women like, and why.

hi wil- I've tried quite a few of the wtb saddles. I have a gel speed she on my road bike (it's okay, a little too soft but the shape is okay) My all time favorite is the regular cheap Speed V. I've tried the fancier / ligher ti versions, rocket, etc but my butt likes the width and fit Speed. That stays on my mtn bike. But if she's uncomfortable YES it's worth it. Go try 'em until she finds one she won't let go of. - jewels

This is pure speculation, but if she doesn't like the Men's WTB at all, she might have better luck looking at different brands altogether?

Thats exactly what i wanted to hear!
I guess i just wanted to know how different the Female and Male WTB saddles were from eachother, i know that most WTB saddles are very similiar in shape, but thought perhaps that the Ladies specific would be that much better than the stock saddle.
I think we'll give the Selle seat a shot,
Cheers!
