AnnieB,
Have you found a saddle that works yet? For years, I used a mens' Selle Flite because I could not find a womens saddle that wasn't too wide. I really liked the Flite except for that hugely long nose it has......... Finally, I was able to find a couple womens' racing saddles that I like. Narrower than most womens' saddles AND withour the long nose. The first one I tried was a Serfas womens' racing saddle ( in blue - matched my bike at the time). Loved it, but it only lasted a season. I got another the next year, tho', 'cause it was so comfortable I decided it was worth the cost.
When I got my new bike, I thought I would at least try out the saddle that came on it, a Bontrager women's racing saddle. Surprised me greatly, but I loved it! And it is holding up better than the Serfas did so I am sticking with it.
It might be a tad wider than the Serfas was.......... so if you can, you might want to check out the Serfas first.
Just a couple of suggestions........ hope something works for you. It's annoying to have to try and ride in pain!!!
