You may also find, like me, that you really need a saddle with a cutout. I'm happy with a Terry Butterfly and Selle San Marco Lady Gel Flow (which I've been told is made out of the same mold or some such...)
Good luck!

When I was trying out saddles, some were obviously uncomfortable after about 1 second, others about 20 minutes, and others took quite a while before feeling really wretched.
I was starting to believe that I would never ride more than 45 minutes without pain. The combination of the right saddle and improved fitness has really done the trick.
Keep trying. There's a saddle out there that's right for you!

I couldn't believe the difference when I adjusted the tilt on my saddle. The bones on either side of my vagina and my sit bones both got sore for a while after I started using the saddle, but it was the typical "sore butt" feeling you get in the Spring when you first take your bike out. There's the normal soreness you get, which lasts a few days, and the bad kind of sore that leads to saddle sores.
