Different saddles for different body's, but for me the glide pinched and squeezed more than my master deluxe with an added bridge. I'm so glad to have the master back.
By the way i was using the glide 2 the leg pads are a lot smaller than the master leg straps, and seem to move around a lot more. See if you can find someone in your area to try for a little while.

I used a master for 10 years just switched to the Glide lite I like the added support but I'm still trying to find the right leg positions. Squeezing the boys worst than the master. But over all I like the bridge and back support

This is such a common complaint it would be interesting to see a list of saddles which don't do this. I've heard good things about the New Tribe saddles in terms of comfort but I have not heard this specific question answered. I'd guess the thigh straps need to be adjustable and be a good distance down toward the knees.

Re: tired of the sqweeze
thanks for the input...i might not go for the glide if it pinches just as bad or worse..but im on the search for a non nut pinching saddle..i wish i wouldn't have sold my bashlin.i forget the name but its the new one designed by some guy..it didnt' pinch my nuts but it has a huge backpad that slid way up my back..
im a slender dude..hard to get a saddle to fit right

I adjusted my leg straps to fig snug on my BFII, and I never feel the pinch. I've worn a sierra moreno once that just about pinched em' off.

I have a Kolibri Multislide and have almost no squeezing/pinching problems. I also avoid clothes that get bunchy at the crotch.

Re: tired of the sqweeze
The bashlin X i think is the one your talking about. I've looked at it a couple of times, but that big back support keeps me from trying it.

Re: tired of the sqweeze
well after checking on the Kolibri Multislide.. it seems real nice..but im going to stay away because i dont want another saddle that takes a long time to put on. but that saddle review led me to the manytimes overlooked buckingham mobility..im starting to think this may be the saddle for me. anyone know of this saddle doing the nut pinch thing real bad?
i also need to do some adjusting of mine and make sure it can't feel better

Re: tired of the sqweeze
i had the bf2 it didn't pinch at all. but it only lasted 4 months the webbing wore out at the bridge attachment. i've been looking at the evo. thought about the tree motion heard it wears out quick to though. i weight 230 with equipment though

Re: tired of the sqweeze
on the bf2 that is all replaceable. But it still shouldn't have worn out that quick. What kind of biners are you using on the bridge? Some biners will pick at the bridge more than others, and rope snaps are the worst on a rope bridge.

Re: tired of the sqweeze
Iv had my bf2 for about 1 1/2 years and its doing great. If i keep my leg straps pretty snug then it doesnt rise up. The only problem is after working a while they loosen up on there own, but its not that big a deal. I thought about getting the Tree motion once, but iv heard a lot of bad things about it. Scott and James (KIWIS) told me they tied into a tree and hovered about a foot off the ground, then ran there hand saw across the green rope bridge and it only took about 4 teeth to cut through it. Thats pretty scary!
