Saddles are like jeans, no one saddle is best for everyone. I am new to all this as well, but the saddle was the first thing I tackled. I hear great things about the Terry saddles, there are several different ones. I lucked out and tried this really inexpensive Forte saddle. It was only $30 so I figured if it didn't work, no biggy. I have had it for 2 years and love it. Most places are pretty good about returns when it comes to saddles. Look for some that have a cut out in the middle. It puts the pressure on the sitz bones and pelvic girdle instead of the soft tissue. Try a few out. Good luck.
