I have been shopping around for a new saddle. I have not had problems with bottom pain, but "with frontal too-too pain", (if you get the idea). There are times after a longer ride, that I wonder if I'll ever be able to pee-pee again. Yet, other times, it doesn't bother me. Guess I sit differently from time to time. My husband has a long narrow saddle. It does not seem to bother me at all. The cut out saddles hurt. As you said, you just have to try them out. I looked at a few this weekend that were "grannie saddles". The were so big and heavy! But, I bet they would feel like your lounge chair...LOL! I'm going to write these names down and do some research. thanks!
