    I ride a men's saddle, a Brooks B67

    Start experimenting.
    Thanks - I'll look at the Brooks.

    I've been riding for 20 years - and when I started riding there were no women's saddles - at least not in my city's LBS's. So, I might just be used to men's saddles. (We also had to use men's shoes - that was a trick!)

    I'll let my gyn know that she's wrong about the pelvic girdle spreading during childbirth.

    I have Fizik Ariones on both of my bikes. I find them very comfortable.

    If I were to look for a different saddle, I would be looking at men's saddles again. Even though I am very pear-shaped and have wide hips, I have narrowish sit bones (around 125 center to center), and I tend to ride with my hips rolled forward a bit. When I try wider saddles, I always feel like I am running into the wide part, if that makes any sense.

    I also do not do well with cutouts.

    If you are more comfortable on a narrower saddle, you're in luck -- there's a huge selection to choose from.

    Maybe with a large enough cut-out?
