New saddle causing inner thigh chaffing

[cyberknight]

Cant get on with the fizik gobi , even though its looks fairly identical to the boardman /veleo saddles i normally ride i find im getting chaffing /redness on the bit where your nad area meets the top of the leg .
Saddle height + set back set to the mm with old saddle .
The rubbing seems to be along the seam where the black meets the white

New

Old

The first saddle in the picture looks chubbier
Why not just get the same saddle that is comfy for all your bikes?

Bit of an update.
Still had chaffing last week when it was hot so today i slathered the offending area in chamois cream and hey presto alls good in the world.

It might be an unfortunate marriage between seat and shorts perhaps? Seam in just the wrong place for your position?

The problem isn't the saddle, it's you! Still easily fixed ...
