A lot of people (both men and women) like Brooks simple leather saddles. They make them in both men and women's styles. Like very good leather shoes, they slowly mold themselves to your particular shape. I'll be trying one out in a couple more weeks. My husband LOVES his.

I rode a big poofy cushioned women's "comfort" saddle the other day for 2 hours and the first hour had terrible pain and the second hour I was just numb. Awful.
