I'll say the same thing I say in every saddle thread:

The three main contact points between rider and bicycle are highly subject to personal preference. What works for one rider - while entertaining from a anecdotal point of view - should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Those points include the saddle region, crank contact, and bars. This means that all advice given pertaining to - but not limited to - Shorts/bibs, saddles, pedals, cleats, shoes, socks, handlebars, and gloves are to be used at a high level to determine trends, but not a singular indication of what should be your personal solution.

You will, in the end, have to try a bunch out. if you get lucky and find one that works early on then kudos.

With that disclaimer in mind I have seen a lot of feedback in other places as well that indicates to me that many serious (meaning much saddle time) female riders tend to find a lot of luck with the Terry line of saddles. If you hae no other starting points I would recommend starting there.
