Jokes aside, this lasted me for over 10 years. Any recommendations on a saddle that's comfortable for ladies?

I like the Selle Italia Diva because it has an embroidered anus on it, and its comfortable (for me).

Thanks! For over ten years I just put up with numbness and sore spots. My seat was very uncomfortable. I want to get a comfortable seat that wont make me cranky.

Greggs has a saddle demo program. IIRC its a $50 deposit and you can take it for a couple days to try on a long ride. I know they have a good selection of brooks, not sure on others.

the ladies Brooks Cambium C17 gets good reviews, I can attest that the mens is the nicest saddle I've ever had. YMMV, naturally.

I recommend the Lithia Comp Gel. Plush, comfortable, and with sleek looks, it's light and soft enough for anything from fitness rides to casual weekend cruising.

Angela tried out a Cambium C17 saddle at Back Alley and was instantly happy with it. I'll probably end up buying one for her at some point in the future.

Monica is currently riding one on her Tour Divide trip.

Its a joke; my old saddle was a Specialized Lithia. Numb and sore lady bits for MILES while touring.

I really like this saddle as well. Was first afraid it would be too soft, and result in chafing and rubbing, but it's been pretty spectacular.

I have a second one I could loan you to try while the bike that should have it is unridable (we all do dumb things to our bikes that take way too long to finish some times - don't judge me!)

They're stupid expensive if not on sale, so I would recommend a test ride for sure.

Turns out she has a sprcialized dolce on both bikes. My bad. Should have known Dada posts all come with a free side of snark.

Im testing out the butthole saddle now. Ive tried a few already, and the Terry Butterfly Cromoly Gel Saddle at REI was the worst.

This may be the solution you're looking for.

The point of this thread is comfort, not screwing around.
