I voted T 140+.
Actually, all along I have been thinking I needed, wide wide wide. Which I am 140mm. But the last bargain what the heck saddle I threw in an order was a Terry... but a mens. Which is 5.5", so 140 roughly, but omg what an improvement with the nose being a touch longer and narrow compared to the pear ladies butterfly.
If I can get the thing to stay level with my dumb saddle clamp to not hurt my lady bits (touch nose up now) I might just keep riding it. It's scary when things you never thought would work just might. Well, it does have a nice pink breast-ca ribbon on it for looks.

That's funny....I used to ride a Brooks B17 which was 170mm in back. I eventually had to sell it because my sitbones were riding right on the outer frame from side to side.

Then I got the Brooks B68 which is their widest saddle at 210mm wide. Pure heaven!!! Got another for my second bike and they are SO comfy for me, thousands of miles so far and my sitbones are so happy. It really is the only saddle I know of wide enough.
Oddly, to look at me you would not think I was 'that' wide, but I got my mother's pelvis.
