terry butterfly not working...suggestions?

I gave up on women's saddles ages ago.  I don't like the cut out on them.  I'm using the selle san marco Aspid.  It's a tri specific saddle with a good amount of gel in the nose.  I find after an initial breaking in period it's quite comfortable.  There are some days that are better then others in terms of sensativity in that area, but overall it's worked well.

The other thing I'd suggest before tossing the saddle is make sure you've been fitted properly on your bike.   If your stem is too long you may be to stretched out, and putting extra pressure there.  Saddle height could also be causing problems.

A professional fitting makes a big difference.  It's worth the $$$$

Yeah, and NOW its KILLIN me!!! Ebay STILL hasn't resolved my complaint with that shyster seller

Also you must consider how much you had ride on it. I went to get a bike fitting 2 weeks ago and the guy asked me how much I'd ride my terry fly gel saddle. I mentioned I bought it last July and since then I had put tons of miles on it. He also use the same saddle and told me that the terry is a great seat but the gel wear's out after 1 year or even 6 months of heavy riding, specially in the mid section. He suggested me to consider it if I started feeling uncomfortable down the road... (He is very reliable; I usually buy all my stuff there so I know he wasn't trying to sell me something)
