This problem is mainly seen in women, as the female tailbone is usually more flexible and very often more sensitive than the male tailbone.
The tailbone gets very close to the saddle in upright sitting positions. The addition of a soft or narrow saddle can generate ailments.
Rule:
Female tailbones are often more flexible (helps during the birth process). This is likely the reason women more than men have problems with their tailbones.
Skin problems:
In addition to lack of hygienic care, the skin can be aggravated due to forces created by seams and embroideries as well as by pressure. Ingrown skin hair can cause inflammations. Pants can generate folds, which in turn can grind the skin when saddles with holes or cut-outs are used.
