Many women stop riding because of friction, swelling, numbness, and infections due to prolonged sitting in the saddle. Saddle pain isn’t normal but it’s sooo common. Don’t let it be the end of you or your riding. Speak up and get some tips here on what to do ⬇️.

1. Relive pressure by standing up on the pedals often.
2. There’s no one size fits all pelvis or saddle. Find the right one for you. A wider saddle is not usually the answer!
3. Bikefit matters! Before you change your saddle, get a proper bike for. Your posture, reach, seatpost height, saddle tilt, handlebar height all matter! Find a fitter who understands bikes and female anatomy.
4. Pregnancy and birth change the pelvis and the surrounding tissues. Pelvic Physiotherapy can help you avoid excessive saddle pain during this time and support your return to the bike, as well as manual therapy to reduce pain. Physios can insert pessaries for prolapses which may also be a cause discomfort in the saddle.
5. Surgeries and scar tissue matters. Years later you can still have significant irritation, restriction & adhesions which cause major discomfort. Postpartum physio therapy is designed to rehabilitate these muscles and support your return to the bike, without excessive pressure on the perineum.
6. Menopausal women may find relief using a topical estrogen cream. Talk to your GP.
7. Wear a good quality chamois (without underwear)
8. Menstrual cups or just a chamois during your period to avoid rubbing from pads or tampons.
9. There are 5 types of saddle pain. Not all are the same sensation or source! Know your symptoms. And seek the right treatment. EG. Endometriosis, IBS, and stress can influence your comfort in the saddle in significant ways.

Read more on the blog (it’s a simplified read compared to my long and detailed post from 2021! But if you like detail and this topic it is still worthwhile reading it.) 😅

What’s been the best advice you have been given regarding bike set up?

Saddle Pain + Pelvic Health

for Female Riders Saddle pain is common — but it’s not “normal” Many women stop riding because of vulvar pain, numbness, swelling, friction, or pelvic discomfort. Female anatomy was never designed for prolonged compression and vibration against a saddle, especially for hours at a time.
