Ladies...I need a new saddle...please help!

I had the same problem. Ouch, ouch and ouch! I was buying gel saddles and they weren't comfy at all!  I ended up buying this:

$80 at REI. I've done a 44 mile ride on it and I could still feel everything at the end! I have issues with going numb *down there* which results in sore pelvic bones etc etc. This saddle is fantastic and really affordable! With REI you can try it, if you don't like it, take it back...full refund!

I have no complaints with this seat at all!

I currently have the Terry Butterfly on my bike (I only have a road bike) and am getting ready to switch to a different saddle. The saddle for me personally is too wide. I am a petite chicka and my sit bones don't align where they are meant to on the saddle which has been causing more problems than helping. It also has some weird pressure point areas that are not fun on longer rides. A few other tri friends complained of the same thing.

I am currently looking at two women's specific saddles: Specialized Jett and the San Marco Aspide Glamour. I am leaning more toward the Jett right now because of it's cut-out. If you want, you can buy my Terry and see how you like it!

It's all gel in the middle. I did have a cut out saddle too which made matters worse. I guess it's really personal preference.. 

I spent an entire afternoon reading the forums at Team Estrogen to figure out what saddle to put on my bike....I'm still not sure!

Have the Serfas Tri W-2 right now, and have put 300 miles or so on it.  I find that it's alleviated all my original issues (smooshed girl parts), but the tapering of the nose on this particular model is too gradual and that extra width is causing some leg chafing that I never had with my stock Felt saddle.  The good thing about Serfas is that they have a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can't go wrong trying it out to see if it suits your butt.    Terry has a similar taper in the nose that will result in some chafing, so I think my next saddle will be the San Marco Aspide Glamour or the Fizik Vitesse. 

 The bottom line, after doing all this research, is that we are all different and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.  (As evidenced by my using this Serfas Tri saddle, which half the girls on my team happily use!)

Regular Terry. So sorry!

I am petite too and have similar issues with saddles. If you've got really narrow sit bones, you might want to actually take a look at using men's saddles, which is what I do. I've had good luck with some of the Specialized men's saddles - no particular models in general since I have a pile of saddles I bought for $20-40 from take-off bins and I'm not super picky. I also have an old men's Selle Italia Trans Am that I like a lot.

That said, I would like to try out a Terry Damselfly as I've heard that's a fantastic saddle for smaller women.
 

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is unfortunately the best answer you will get from most triathletes and cyclists. Good luck with your search!
