There usual all female specifics such as terry etc. www.teamestrogen.com has tons, plus a board
where there are pages of seat and crotch discussion .
I've had a gel seat, and I hated the wideness of it, bad for technical riding. I"ve never had the
need to try a female-cut out seat.
Other factors to consider: Is the seat angle correct? Are you wearing padded shorts? Are you wearing
undies under your shorts? ( contriubutes to all sorts of problems) Are you static on your seat, ie
just sitting there and not being dynamic on you bike? YOu should be up and out of your seat a good
portion of the time. I never have seat problems except when I am doing a road ride ( static) on my
mountain bike.

I have to concur with what Penny said (although I am NOT a girl). You will get used to the regular
saddle after a few rides. When I first started mountain biking many years ago, my a$$ killed. I made
the mistake of switching to a gel seat... lost a lot of "feel" with my bike. Tough it out. You won't
regret it.

Plateau is a pretty squish saddle to start with. I've had to start using one as a selle italia
octavia had been causing some (ah hem.. ) problems. It will mould slightly - try heating it up with
a hair dryer or stick it in some warm sun for a while before riding. There is, however, no guarantee
it is the right shape for you and only you can decide what is by trying various different saddles.
There are plenty of articles on the net and different points of view of what you should be looking
for. I would however recommend against gel. Anything that moulds too much will be a problem in that
pressure will cause the gell to move away from your solid bits (sit bones) and possibly cause
pressure in unwanted areas as a result.
good luck nick
