So the past couple of days I've been searching the website on everything I can about saddles. I mentioned when I posted my new bike pics that I wasn't too crazy about the saddle but that I would give it a chance. It had been a while since I had ridden and have been back in the saddle the past two days. I don't know my sit bone measurements just yet and my tender bits don't seem to have a problem.
So according to this picture, I am hurting mostly in Zone 4c and the bottom of Zone 3:

I don't get blisters or anything like that it is more like a bruising and if I sit in certain ways I can feel the dull pain. I read on someone's thread that this reminded them of a seat that they had that was too narrow. I'm starting to wonder if that's the case for me. Even on my old hybrid I traded out the seat for one of those big, cushy seats. I thought it was the padding that I liked but maybe instead it was that it was wider. What do you ladies think? I know I probably need to shop around for a new saddle but I'd like to know where I should start. Does my pain there mean my seat is too narrow?
