Good saddle for women?

My girlfriend loves her women's San Marco Triathgel and San Marco Glanour ASPide saddles.

Did the bike come with the stock saddle? If so...toss it.  :-) 

Usually it takes a few testings to try for good saddles.  First you need to determine whether you prefer a T shaped or Pear-shaped saddle, then that will help your search.

I've read up on a lot of women who ride road bikes.

Popular saddles to try;

Specialized Jett

Specialized Ruby (Very popular among the ladies)

Selle Italia Ldy Gel Flow

Selle Italia Diva

Terry Butterfly Ti

Padding of the saddle and shorts really have little to do with comfort. It helps, but not a determining factor.  If your sitbones is wider than the saddle, then you'll need a wider saddle (Specialized have three widths), etc.   It does take a few tries.

However, if you JUST started riding, it may be that you just need time in the saddle. You shouldn't feel your girly bits squished though. 

Good luck!!  LMK if you want resources on how to find the proper saddle, and how to measure your sitbones width so you can have a good start at looking for saddles.  

Source: I've been through 6 different saddles, and I *think* I found the one. I think I need to put in longer rides and harder rides before determining that's the one. :-) I'm so picky. LOL.

My wife had pain in her lady parts from her saddle.

We got her a Adamo Road and that feels better, but she hasn't taken it on a long ride yet.

Look at the Terry saddles (specifically designed for women).

Saddles are very individual, so also consider the Cobb saddles.  They are very helpful if you call them, and you can return the saddle within 180 days (not a typo) no questions asked if you don't like it (I actually sent one back after 150+ days...no problem).  They aren't cheap, but you can't lose.

I agree with CyborgQueen's post.  I've been through a myriad of saddles, and she is absolutely correct.  You first need to determine the correct saddle width for your sit bones.  In my experience, I have found that most (not all) men's/unisex saddles are just too narrow for the majority (again, not all) of women out there...and this includes the Cobb and Adamo saddles (at least for me, it did).  

The shape of the saddle is another very important point that CyborgQueen mentions in her post.  Pear-shaped saddles have a more gradual transition from the rear to the nose, and therefore have a tendency to cause chafing or rubbing issues on the inner thighs/crease area.  I've found that the more T-shaped a saddle is, the greater reduction of chafing in this area.  

Another important factor is...cut-out vs. no cut-out.  Some women (myself included) require a cut-out or at the very least, a deep divot in the saddle to relieve pressure of the girly bits. 

I have settled on the Specialized Ruby 155 for now.  It's not perfect, but it's the best option at the moment.
