plus size cycler looking for seat!

[Heifzilla]

I have a hybrid/comfort bike and my most comfy saddle is sort of a hybrid saddle I am an Athena with a big butt and wiiiiiiiiiiiide sit bones. I don't remember the measurements, but they're wide I went through the whole shebang of smaller saddle killing me, then I got big wide cruiser saddle and that rubbed my thighs horribly, and then I switched to a Selle Royal Lookin'. Selle Royal makes most of their saddles with slightly different forms/shapes for different riding angles. I choose the moderate version of my saddle because I sit more upright than I would on a road bike but don't sit entirely upright like I would on a cruiser. It is so comfortable for me and my wide butt, lol. I am completely supported but it's not too wide, either. And it's not padded much at all. In fact, it's the flattest saddle I have ever ridden. It has a smidge of gel in it, so it's somewhat soft, but it certainly isn't what I'd call a padded, squishy saddle.

Unfortunately, everyone is different and what works for me may not work for you. Just be sure to find an online store that allows returns, even if the saddle has been tried out. I didn't check that and I had a saddle that I ordered online and then had to sell for cheaper than I paid even though it really were brand new with maybe 2 miles on it but had a couple of scratches on the rails from my seat post. It was pretty annoying It did go to a good home with someone that loved it, so all turned out well

Good luck! Saddle searching can be a pain in the butt
