bikemom29+, we can all recommend 100s of saddles but the reality is that women come in different shapes, not just hips but other areas if you know what I mean The only way you will find the best saddle is by trying several saddles, this can get quite expensive so try borrowing saddles or find shops that offer test saddle programs, do this until you find the best saddle for you. Also make sure to use good chamois cream (super important). I personally use Endur-It chamois cream and in my opinion is the best I've used (and I've used almost all the creams) as it really stays on for hours.
