Pubic bone pain


Pubic arch pain while cycling

Women often struggle with pubic bone pain as their pubic arch is significantly lower. This anatomical difference can cause uncomfortable pressure points, especially due to the high pressure of the saddle nose. To reduce the pressure on the pubic bone, it is important to choose a saddle with a lower saddle nose that is as flat as possible to ensure an optimum contact surface.



The anatomical difference

The only significant anatomical difference between men and women is the lower pubic arch in women. However, thanks to SQlab's step saddle technology with a dip in the middle of the saddle and the lower saddle nose, this difference has already been taken into account. This saddle design ensures that the sensitive perineal area in men and the pubic arch in women are equally relieved

CAUSES for Pain at the pubic bone arch


 
Saddle too narrow

Saddle with a wrong shape
Saddle with a wrong shape


 


Saddle too narrow

Cause - saddle too narrow 

leads to discomfort to the sit bones and an increased pressure on the perineal area


SQlab Solution 

Sit bone measurement to determine the individual saddle width



In normal sitting, the sit bones are designed to support the body weight and absorb high pressure; this should also be the case when cycling. Thanks to the SQlab saddle width concept, the main load of the body weight is shifted to the sit bones when cycling. This specific weight distribution significantly relieves pressure on the sensitive perineal area and the pubic arch.



Wrong saddle shape

Cause - wrong saddle shape 

leads to an increased pressure in the perineal area

Our saddle concepts, such as the step saddle concept, combine a deeper saddle nose with a dip in the middle of the saddle to minimize pressure points on the pubic arch. This targeted relief provides a noticeable increase in comfort when cycling and helps women to pedal pain-free and relaxed. Due to the lower pubic arch, they are more susceptible to pressure points that can be caused by high pressure from the saddle nose.

At SQlab, we have made it our mission to alleviate this discomfort and offer innovative saddle concepts that are tailored to the anatomical differences and needs of both sexes.
