Question Seat too narrow? Measuring sit bone width...

So, I picked up a new bike...loving it so far...in kind of an afterthough moment I just grabbed a Selle Italia C2 Gel Flo off the wall and went with that...

Now...the boys seem okay, I've done about 70 miles in the last 4 days...nevertheless I'm feeling the sit bones, as in they let me know, "Hey you're sitting on this kinda firm saddle!!!"

My question is I'm wondering if it may be a bit narrow...the C2 is a size S for Selle... My sit bones feel like they're making contact on the downward sloping outsides of the saddle.

I'm wondering if I should try their size L saddles...

On another note, I do want to measure my sit bone width. I can feel the points of the suckers, should I just grab at them with my fingertips resting on them and have my wife measure from fingertip to fingertip with a tape measure?

She's been really behind on her spousal duties.
