Hard to know without seeing her bum.......

But seriously she needs to try them! Can't you just go to a shop, get her to sit on lots of bikes and go from there?

Bontrager saddles all have 90 day comfort guarantee, so you could give those a try if not take it back

Madison Breeze (which is basically a Charge Ladle). Cracking seats that are cheap and comfy. My wife is super happy with hers

My mrs loves a bel air. She has tried all sorts including a spesh ladies, fizik, WTB she and selle italia womens saddle. She says the nose padding the bel-air has is more comfy.

I tried loads of saddles on MrsPJM1974...the best way is to start cheap and try to get the basic shape right before spending £££s on upgrades eg ti chassis or whatnot.

She eschewed the women specific options for the humble Charge Spoon. She seems to get on very well with it, so it might be a better place to start than throwing £££s at something if your missus just doesn't get on with it.

Mrs Carbone has these on both her bikes and seems to be happy with them.

So near, but so far. As above, the Charge Ladle's what you want (ladies version of the Spoon).

I've got the Specialized Jett on two of my bikes - comfy for me, but we're all different!
