I have been using a Terry butterfly for the past 6 months, but am having big problems with chaffing on the leg creases between where the thigh and girl parts meet. (no your not gonna get a picture

I'm am thinking I need a seat with a very narrow nose and mid area since I am on the small end of the scale.

Anyone know of a good tri seat like this?? Thanks!

There's another thread about this topic on page 2.

I always read the saddle threads because I too have problems with female parts hurting! Ouch! My chaffing is in the same place that you describe. I'm trying to avoid buying a bunch of saddles to find the perfect one, so have been HTFUing it!

I recently have tried going Commando (no underwear). I always knew you were supposed to wear bike shorts w/out panties, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I wore tech fabric undies with no seams. But, I think the stitching on the legholes are in the exact spot I get chaffing. So, that is my current theory. Seems to be helping, yay!

My wife put a ISM Adamo Road saddle on her Kuota K-factor and LOVES it. She had chaffing issues with her stock saddle prior to the change. If u can find a LBS with a ride and try program, take them up on it.
