Hi everyone!
I read a lot of other posts&threads but still have doubts about the right saddle. I never had a women's saddle, but tried Fizik Nisene Sport, Selle Italia Flite and TransAm, Bontrager, Scott-all men's. Also I don't think I need something too wide because my problem is pressure in the sensitive area. I guess I should mention I ride a lot since I'm into competitive MTBiking. Can you please suggest something (anything!) that would maybe work for me, but isn't too expensive?

Are you near any shops that have demo programs? WTB has a great line of saddles in many sizes/shapes.

Unfortunately I have nowhere to try the saddles since none are available for purchase :( I am going to order from Chain Reaction Cycles probably,so I am very limited... The only thing up for sale near was Selle Italia Lady TransAm‏ but I don't know anything about it.
The Selle SMP TRK looks ok, I have actually been thinking about that one, Fizik Vitesse and some of Selle Italia(Lady,Diva,Lady SLK & SLR)...
Also can you tell me the difference between Fizik Vitesse Sport, HP and Tri? I mean in riding them?

Measure your sitbones. If by "sensitive area" you mean your perineum or labia, that's a good sign that your saddle is probably too narrow.
