can definetely relate to the swelling troubles. I am a long course triathelete and have also tried MANY different saddles and have cursed almost all. On my tri-bike, I have settled on a Profile Design men's tri saddle - the women's version didn't work for me. On my road bike, I have a Selle Italia Gel Flow Trans Am. I also discovered that traditional bike shorts do not work. I need less padding and always use tri shorts. Good luck.
