Hi Kate,

Welcome! I ride a Terry Butterfly, and it took me about a month of riding to get over the initial sit-bone soreness from it. Once I did, it was great. Since saddles are pricy, I'd advise you not to give up yet. The Butterfly is definitely the most popular saddle in my bike club among the ladies, and there's a reason for that, though I know it doesn't suit everyone.

Good luck and keep riding!

Emily
