Thanks ladies for the thoughts on the saddles and creams for chamois.

Know what you mean about cushier is not better necessarily for saddles--LBS put one on to try in trainer and it did have a ladies cut out, but a cushy higher crown in the back which seemed to slant my weight even more forward--didn't buy that one for sure. Read some saddle posts on here, and looked at online, but just a bit baffled what might work and not. My current saddle is the only one I've had with the bike and is a ladies WTB SheSpeed with a concaved channel, but not cut out. Sounds like all you can do is buy and try--don't think my LBS has the saddle exchange program I read about on here that some do.

The Terry saddles on this site have descriptions for useage. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between the ones that say use for performance, and say the one that says best all around? Now I have just been road riding up to miles I think I can do, without pushing past overdoing it (minus the bleeding episode) so up 30 miles yesterday on w/e, and on a weeknight, I have a 20 mile loop I can work in. My big goal I would love to accomplish is to ride a century. Know that takes time and training. But with those thoughts, is there a certain saddle that would fit my needs?

Thanks also for the typing tip about paragraphs. New here, so still learning the board. I know that was a "book report" but sometimes I feel like my womanhood has been worked over enough that it has enough info for one--and I'm 38--most ladies don't need the surgery stuff until their 60s--just weak tissue for unlucky me. Hmm, my mother always said I was "special" but she just never said HOW...oh my! Thanks for reading and any other ideas.
