Here's the saddle I put on my wife's bike. It's an Ideale #6. She says it's the best saddle she's ever used.

Hi,
saddles are tough. My wife uses a Brooks Finesse and loves it.
Before that she used a Terry Butterfly. The B17 Champion Special is also one to consider.

Woman's saddles
As one similarly blessed, I can't imagine doing those long rides without my "padding!"I have a Terry Liberator on my road bike and a Serfas Rx on my hybrid. I personally find the Liberator more comfortable, but I imagine this is a highly individual choice.

I took my wife to the bike shop and told her to pick out a saddle that she thought would match her tushie. She picked a Surfas RX that has that "woman's saddle" shape and quite a bit of foam padding. It wouldn't have been my pick, but I don't have to ride on it. Last summer I asked if she might be interested in trying a Brooks. She told me that she was completely satisfied with what she had and wasn't interested in risking something else. That's good enough for me.
