Help! Which saddle should I get?

[Adventure Girl]

Oh, and one more thing, my boyfriend and I ride the same size bike, so he'll use my bike as a back up during his cross races, so I have to go with something that at least looks gender neutral...

Any suggestions?

Does your boyfriend's bike use the same size seat post as your bike? If so, can't he just switch them and use his own saddle if he rides your bike?

After being tortured by truly crap saddles I finally found the Terry women's saddles. The one I have been riding for the past 2 years is the Butterfly Ti and I love it. They make men's saddles too. I'm thinking that because of the (*ahem*) physical differences between men and women it will be difficult to find a saddle that will work for you both. But they don't have flowers all over them, if that's what he's worried about . Seriously, check out the Butterfly Ti by Terry. They have a hole where the important bits go, it isn't squishy in the least, and this particular saddle has a textured surface so that you aren't slipping and sliding all over. I've been riding Terry saddles for close to 10 years now and I simply won't use anyone else's.

I'm with Cruziegirl! I have Butterfly ti saddles on my three road bikes and wouldn't change. They also seem to be the most popular saddles among women in my bike club. My husband and a lot of the guys like the mens' Terry Fly ti, so if you want a unisex saddle, that might work, since I know some women like a narrower saddle than the Butterfly.
