I went through a handful of saddles over the last few years, going back to an old standby Terry saddle in between each. The Terry gave me the least trouble, but even it didn't totally relieve the bruised feeling I always ended up with after a long ride. This year I had a very thorough bike fitting that included raising my stem and handlebars. Voila! By balancing my weight more evenly between the bars, pedals and saddle, I now sit more naturally on my sit bones. I've had no hoo-ha pain since

Sometimes the problem is the saddle, other times it's how you're positioned on the saddle. Be open to experimenting with your bike fit and see if that makes a difference.
