Ach! Saddle woes. I went through about 10 saddles before I finally found one that I love (Fysik Vitesse, which I believe is a women's saddle--wait, did I spell fysik right?) and now I have one on each bike and a few extras in case they suddenly stop making them. Anyway, everyone's bodies are different. I have to poink the nose of my saddle down somewhat in order to be comfortable, and I've talked to other female riders who feel the same way; while most of the male riders I know (but not all of them) like to tip the front of their saddles up. She will just need to try different saddles and different positions. It will hurt for a while til her body adjusts and she finds the right saddle/position. My advice is not to go for long rides until she's more comfortable. That way she won't be in horrible pain that makes her never want to ride again.
