I get the same thing from saddles which are too pear shaped. I need more T-shaped saddles. For me, this is as good as it gets right now:

I have 4 of these, one for each bike. I think they come in other colors, too.
Of course the proper saddle needs to be the correct width, too. Only one way to find out. My usual good saddle width is 140-145mm. You can have your sit bone width measured at most LBS.
