noseless saddles and the quest for comfort?

[KnottedYet]

No-where did I say someone shouldn't use a noseless saddle.

She already tried one, and hated it.

I suggest she measure herself and try a nosed saddle that fits before giving up on nosed saddles entirely and trying yet another noseless saddle.

You are clearly the build that needs a split nose or cut-out. (remember my comment about sitting on a hard chair? There you are!) They have a purpose, which is why there are so many varieties out there. I've recommended your split nose saddle to several people.

Edit to Add:

Remember there are three basic things to know before shopping for saddles-
1. Sit bone measurements (outside and center)
2. Cut-out vs. Solid
3. Pear contour vs. "T" contour

There are a bazillion threads giving detailed instructions of various techniques to use to get these three pieces of info. Trying saddles without knowing these is kind of like trying on shoes randomly; you might get lucky, and you might end up spending a lot of money and getting frustrated.
