Glad to see you back! Was thinking about you the other day. How's hubby and baby?

Dry spots usually indicate an incorrect saddle fit, although, depending on who you ask, there is a difference on what size the spots are, and I don't remember what that is. I think, overall, it indicates the saddle creating a pressure point in that particular area, which will eventually cause soreness...i.e. the saddle is too tight in that area.

However, I may be incorrect on my assumption, and it would be hard to tell without a picture. Also, you might want to contact Wimpyb on here (Meleta Brown) and she could tell you more about them. If you get her email address, email her the pics and she should be able to receive the pictures without you having to downsize them on your phone. :

The bigger the dry spot the less you have to worry about, the smaller the dry spot then you might need to consider changing saddles...Here is an example: Take your Fist and Press as hard as you can into your thigh, THEN take just your index finger and press as hard as you can...you will have your answer...( i learned this from an old saddle maker
