You shouldn't feel bruised or injured by your saddle, whether it's on a road bike, hybrid, mountain, unicycle, WHATEVER.
Put your old saddle on the new bike, and just see how it feels. Wear your favorite shorts and see if that makes it even better.
It's a place to start.
Then come back and tell us how it goes. We've all been through the what saddle/what shorts/what lube/what placement fandango, and we're full of ideas!
