So, in lieu of Road.cc testing out this saddle, I’d like to ask if anyone out there has tried or seen one of these bad boys:https://infinitybikeseat.com/

Maybe this could be a solution for painful swellings?

The problem is, vaginas are already so associated with pain – there’s periods, penetrative sex when you aren’t ready, penetrative sex when you are ready and the mother of them all: labour. Having a vagina means having pain so maybe being a cyclist with a vagina means pain with a bit more pain added on top. I would accept this if, in comparison to every other aspect of the bike, the male-anatomy-specific-saddle hadn’t received such a lack of research and design development as to be laughable. And, of course, men get horrendous saddle sores too. But when bike helmets are marketed by the Germany transport ministry using a model in her underwear with the slogan “Looks like shit. But saves my life,” instead of maybe using one of the country’s host of Olympic champion bike sprinters; or the fact that women are still excluded from the Tour de France, there is a feeling that female bike racing is not taken as seriously. This has a huge impact on health and research.
