    I like the Butterfly a lot and have ridden several centuries on it and a nine-day, 565-mile cross-state tour without serious problems other than some chafing in the crease of my inner thigh. It's probably a little too wide for me, but it's comfy.

    The Damselfly was like a medieval torture device to me -- hard as a rock, with a tiny little pinchy cutout. OUCH!

    So, don't be under the impression that a "Terry" is a "Terry" is a "Terry". Within the Terry line, there are saddles of all shapes, widths, firmness, etc. A lot of women like the men's Terry saddles more than the women's. I'd love to try a Terry Fly (men's version of the Butterfly) but never have.

    I have a Selle San Marco Atola on my mtb, and although it's skinny like the Damselfly and almost as hard, the cutout is larger and diamond-shaped, so I find it incredibly comfy once my sit bones toughen up on it.

    It is very hard to give anyone else a saddle recommendation -- what is one woman's torture device is another's perfect match.

    Good luck!

    With Terry's 30-day saddle return policy, you cannot go wrong. Both my finacee and I have tried multiple Terry saddles before settlling on the 'perfect' one.

    terry saddles:
    ride it & love it guaranteed!
    All of our saddles come with a 30 day "ride it and love it or return it" guarantee. If the saddle you choose doesn't do the trick, you can return it for a refund or exchange. Please return the saddle to the shop or catalog where it was purchased.
