Racing saddles and padded shorts are an awesome combination because the pad is always in the right place. If you want to ride in street clothes and not look like you're wearing a diaper, pick another saddle with more padding. You may even like a Brooks that will have some give once it's broken in.
There is an adjustment period to all saddles. Remember they are saddles, not seats.
