    Rockhard saddle with no cutout advice please

    Despite having read countless threads on saddle's for woman i can't find the right answer to put my money on the line so i'll post my own q'n and hope for some specific female help/advice.

    After riding and trying several saddles (Brooks, SAA, Bontrager, Specialzed, Rolls) i come to the conclusion (wrong obviously) that i need a flat, hard saddle and here's why.

    - Flat (not round) because than the space between my girlie_bits and soft tissue is max when i lean forward
    - No cutout/long dent as the small sides hurt a lot in my inner thighs
    - No gel/foam because as my seat bones will 'sink' in so the space between my girlie_bits and soft tissue becomes less and could/will lead into painful contact.
    - My sit bones take all the pressure, but this will take time and eventually is less painful that the problems 'upfront' especially when one is doing good milage a day when out riding.

    Due to the fact that most reviews of (hard) saddles are for man i have serious doubts if this is what is should base my new purchase on.

    Now i need some advice from you woman which saddles fall in this category as i'm not able to test saddles anymore from the lbs so a purchase is all i can do now and in order not to end with my private stock of saddles i need your help.

    So if anyone has a saddle that falls in to the above category of flat and hard with no cutout/dent than i love to hear from you and/or read your experiences.
