I've got a Sella Italia ladies saddle - not the cheapest saddle around but definately worth every penny.

A lot of ladies like the Sella Italia Ladies saddle. I find it too big and too soft but it is a good first one to try.

sjoe WW, so jy se die Sella Ladies saddle ry lekker he?? maar as hy te groot en sag is werk dit ook nie, sjoe... maar vir jo eerste ry is dit ok want jy weet nie van beter nie, of hoe. Ja nee Girls, julle moet maar n paar ry voor julle besluit ok ok, ek sal no ophou...

n paar wat moet hulle ry Marius ???

saddles are very personal.... my preference is a fizik... best is to find a shop that will loan you different saddles so that she can chose which is best for her...

My GF also uses the Stella Ladies one but she said it's nothing compared to the comfort she got from when she bought her first Assos Bibbs, she said it's the best thing since I came along 

 

But really, she said after she got the bibbs the saddle did not matter much.

Marius I like them firm, hard and competetive, not soft and lazy...

 

Narra, I know cyclelab lets you try the saddles on the indoor trainer to test them out. Maybe take an afternoon to do that. At least she will then get an idea of what suites her.

Sjoe WW  Maar ja, dink my GF sal saam stem met jo.

narra, if Mrs narra is unhappy with the saddle, then it has to go.

 

But, if you are casting your experienced cycling eyeball on the saddle and deciding that it is a lousy saddle, then hold your fire.  One of the comfiest saddles I ever had was on an RC6000 that I bought a few years back.  The first batch of RC6000's had "name brand" everything EXCEPT for the saddle, which was a TopGear cheapie.  And, like I said, one of the best saddles I ever rode - I was very disappointed when the vinyl split and the thing had to be replaced.

 

The only test of a saddle is the rider's bottom...

I bought my GF a Fizik Vitesse Twintech on Monday. She has never ridden a bike before and hopped on the tandem yesterday and didn't complain about any discomfort. I kept asking her just to be sure since I've heard that saddles a sore point for women. So, either the saddle is really good and it was money well spent or she's TOUGH if you know what I mean...  Hope this doesn't get me toughened up tonight...

okay a cheap one, but i've been riding with it for a few years: Ladies RaceX.

 

Guess it's not the best, but i quite like it.
