Finding the 'right' saddle may mean trying about 10 saddles! Plus, there is a break-in period for you sitting area. It takes some time!

Try to get on the bike at least 3 times a week, even if you only ride around the block for 30 minutes or use a trainer.

Yeah what he said. After 7 different saddles my wife has finally found a saddle/position that she is comfortable with. Even still she doesn't get on the bike (our tandem) enough to really get used to, like Galen said it takes time.
