I disagree. If you haven't been riding regularly, it is not unusual to have a few days of adjustment before you get used to sitting in a saddle. If it persists though, definitely start looking for a new saddle, or at least see if you can adjust your existing saddle better (if you're sliding forward or back, change the tilt, if you're riding the nose or tail, slide it fore/aft, etc)
