They don't make them any more. Which is a shame, as they were my cheap utility saddle of choice. They looked good, too.I have two Charge Spoon saddles and they are very comfortable. I tried to get a Charge Ladle for my wife last year, but couldn’t get one for love or money.

I bought an Oura for my Genesis as it was the best colour. Most uncomfortable saddle I've tried. I've decided cut outs actually don't work for me based on having had two saddles and neither being any good. I'm no racer, but I can get sore, being on the heavy side probably doesn't help . Bontrager saddles seem to work best for me with decent padded shortsAnatomy is so individual and saddles are so expensive. Once went to a little bike shop in Tadcaster which had saddles you could borrow but the owner - a bloke in socks and sandals - proceeded to talk at me for 20 minutes whilst insulting my bike. They didn't have the one I wanted to try and he wasn't interested in sourcing it for me so that was that.
I have a Specialized Oura (wasn't cheap) with a cut out that i find quite comfortable but am always in search of perfection.
The article - very well written - made me wince!

Thank you! I looked everywhere last year and could not find one to buy - all I saw was ‘Fill out your email and we’ll let you know when it’s back in stock’. Which they never were. I’ll get one ordered while I can. Even if my wife doesn’t use it and prefers the Selle Donna, it’ll be worth hanging onto for when my daughter is older.@LeetleGreyCells I can confirm winstanleys have them I was in there looking at saddles at the weekend. the layout has changed, no longer a pokey shop with small counter, everything now on display
Hannah is already a well know athlete.I just hope Hannah Dines doesn't end up known as "as the woman who wrote that article" as she's a very interesting character.
Agreed and well done to her for getting this publicised. It has been raised before and IIRC British Cycling did a lot of work in addressing issues like saddle tilt (revised UCI rules) and advising about hair removal (essentially don't because the hair has a significant role in infection reduction). One well known cyclist even mentioned that it gave her a "funny shaped foof" in one of her published pieces, so the issue is known - but not well enough knownHannah is already a well know athlete.
I hope the article is read and discussed by some of the medical profession, some saddle manufacturers, by lots of women cyclist that would otherwise think "maybe it only happens to me, noting I can do about it"
I've followed Hannah for quite a while on various media and I hope this raises her profile as an athlete too.
