If i remember rightly the guy on sagi used the same tab as me (cavalier) and i'm starting to wonder if they make the tab a bit too narrow, causing the bottom of the finger to be exposed...

Looking at my tab, the bottom edge wraps around the underside of my third finger where the callous starts, and (with fingers bent) the front edge of the tab is entirely past the end of my finger. With fingers straight, the edge of the tab comes just before the tip of my finger, so just past the callous... It sounds like you might need a slightly larger tab.

Indeed, so i'm stealing..... ah hem..... i mean trying ian's large cavalier (mines medium) and seeing if it helps. If it does i shall buy one as it's far less painful....

I have the most callous on the middle finger but about equal on the other two
