Searching for a saddle - what to try next?

[ny biker]

I have endured my Ruby saddle for a year now and can no longer tolerate it.(born too suffer..) Pubic bone pain, only on the left, which now is affecting my pedal stoke. It's the first women's saddle I've used in 25 years and don't think I'll use another. What other saddles are people riding with comfort.
Thanks,
Krysta

Pain on one side can mean the saddle is crooked. Make sure the nose is centered correctly.

NY Biker, you are a plethora of info. I just test rode a bike, and this was probably the problem. I would have ripped that puppy off of there and started over with a different saddle!

Moving around on the saddle isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? I find I do it a lot at the beginning of the season, and less as my core muscles strengthen as the summer goes on.

Have you tried a Brooks? I find mine very forgiving.

I only know this because it recently happened to me! I emailed the fit guy at the LBS to ask if he had any suggestions, and he replied that the nose might be crooked, and he was right.

It can also mean the saddle is too narrow and the rider has shifted to the side so one half the pelvis is supported. I did that on a borrowed bike (narrow saddle) and it really sucked.
