    I'm on my 5th seat in 2 months-it finally came down to the Terry butterfly gelissimo. The staff at TE was wonderful and recommended a couple of different seats to try out and (thank you Susan!) their recommendations were right on. I also adjusted my seat more forward and raised the handlebars a bit higher so that I wasn't reaching so far. (riding a road bike)
    The seat certainly helped but the riding position definately needed to be a tad more upright to get me off the "delicate" area. Still a bit uncomfortable but a heck of a lot better than before. Good luck!

    I can relate to this issue ....

    After having gone through a number of saddles before discovering that for me the perfect way to pedal by *** around town is from a San Marco Atola. When DH ordered our 7500 FX earlier this year he ordered an Atola along with the bike.

    The Atola has the :::doing my best Barry White imitation::: luv channel (what copywriter thought THAT up??) but apparently it works for me.

    Good luck finding a new saddle - hope you'll let us know what you find works for you.

    I have the terry butterfly, which I got this year to replace my terry women's liberator gel seat. Both have cut outs in the middle, which definitely helps. The butterfly is a bit harder than the liberator. I just did a century on the butterfly and my a$$ hurt, but that I think is part of sitting on a saddle for 7 hours. But the female bits were ok. The I did 2 ragbrai's on the liberator gel and had no issues. I also use Butt'R, which they sell on this site whenever I do a long ride. It really saves the bits from chaffing, etc.

    Hope you find some relief!
