so for context i have a 152mm shimano saddle for my regular bike

my s/o got a schwinn indoor bike and the saddle is actually rubbing my b-hole raw (changing positioning only shifts the problem to my labia). it is definitely too cushioned for me, but idk how to find an alternative since everything is always focused on more cushioning. help me pls ._.

    I have a Charge Spoon saddle on my real bike and love it. Quite firm. My old Cannondale had [looking up saddle, might be good] on it which was super firm. I'm masc though, so the saddles might hit different. Does your exercise bike have normal mounting hardware for a saddle?

      it does. im gonna give some shorts a shot to see if that helps first. switching between the two saddles would be pretty unfun. it works fine for my s/o. i am cursed with very wide sit bones though lol

        Just had a thought. Is the saddle on the exercise bike mounted on a standard seatpost like on a "normal" bike? If so, you might be able to install a quick release seatpost clamp like this on the frame: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/brand-x-qr-seat-clamps/rp-prod118837

        Then you could mount a saddle that suits you on it's own seatpost, and switching between different saddles would take like a few seconds.
