With my standard bike seat I had some serious crotch issues and just couldn't last long on the bike because of the pain. That is why I bought this seat. It has been a great RELIEF to ride with this seat. The crotch pain is a non-issue now. I highly recommend this product.

Ordered this seat in the hopes this would help relieve the crotch discomfort issues I have with traditional bike seats. What a relief this seat does the job. Before I had this seat I could go just a few miles before I was quite uncomfortable and wanted to stop, but now I can go for miles and miles with out any female anatomy becoming sore.

Highly recommend this seat for women with crotch related discomfort. I've had the seat for nearly a year, use it on my mountain bike and have competed in 4 races with it. No complaints here.

This is a huge improvement over the saddle with which my bicycle came. Not quite as light weight, but so much more comfortable. I'm just getting into riding, but after installing it I went for an 18 mile ride and felt great. Previously, I'd start getting uncomfortable after about 3 miles. This saddle is a wonderful upgrade; it has definitely improved my riding experience.

This is a great bike saddle. I'd had one previously which was supposed to be made for women, but after an hour on the bike, it was definitely not comfortable. I liked the ARS saddle so much, when I purchased a second bike for off-road use, I immediately got one for that bike as well.

It took a couple of days for my seat to break in this saddle, but it was worth it! What a difference an anatomic relief design makes! My "lady bits" are no longer squished, squeezed or pinched. I never thought I'd like anything but a gel saddle, but this one has made me a believer. The price is icing on the cake.

It has good support with gel pads at the back which cushion the sitting bones. Its the best bike seat I've found so far.

Really comfy on the seat. It still took me a few rides to get used to it, but I think that's going to be the way it is with all bike seats. The gel cushion helps, especially on bumps in the road.

I was pretty disappointed after my first ride(12 miles/55 min), seeing as all the previous reviewers had the same issues with their old seats that I did and they noted an improvement with this one. Even after 5 min, I was in pain. I will say that the narrower horn is great and the recessed center helps, but the acutal seat/butt area is firm and uncomfortable, not sure where the 'gel' is. And the material around the horn part is not all that soft either. If you're looking for cushy, this is NOT it. If you need something narrower at the horn, this works great. I ended up putting a Target brand gel seat cover on it and now it works pretty good, but I'm still on the lookout for a better seat.

I've had a 25 year long quest in finding a bicycle seat that does not cause crotch pain or sit bone pain or both. I thought I would be searching my whole life, but I am happy to report that this seat does the trick. I have had no discomfort with this seat. I have had this saddle for one year now on my road bike and am going to purchase another for our tandem since that one was pretty good but is now worn out. I generally ride 25 to 30 miles on my road bike. I do longer rides on the tandem so that will be another good test.

I bought this because I am training for a 63 mile ride and the seat that came with my bike was like sitting on concrete. This seat is very comfortable and I noticed the difference the minute I sat on the bike. I would recommend this seat to anyone who rides long distances.
