Some women have more soft tissue problems than others (all other things being equal). I had this problem from day one and even once all other fit issues were resolved, STILL had the problem (but lessened). I seriously had a 3 hour pro fit on my bike, a great saddle (for my sit bones) and still had to 'toughen up' the soft tissue to be able to ride long distance. Toughening up soft tissue does NOTHING for the sex life, let me tell you. Now that I know better - I would never have put up with it. Keep looking...no saddle should give you that kind of pain! You should have to condition your sit bones...NOT your soft tissue.

Anyway, just a few months ago (after 6 years of riding!) I finally found the perfect saddle for me. The soft tissue problem disappeared immediately! Funny thing is, it's the same saddle someone else already mentioned: the Bontrager InForm RL WSD. This saddle actually works for me on both my road bike AND my tri bike. On my tri bike, my hips are fully rotated forward so that I am not on my sit bones at all and yet this saddle still works.

While a professional fit is absolutely important, so is the right saddle. If you have soft tissue pain, KEEP LOOKING for a saddle that relieves it! I swear, there is one out there for everyone and it's just a matter of finding it.
