The most important part of getting a comfortabl­e saddle is!getting the right size, which is based on the distance between your sit bones, the rounded projection­s at the base of your pelvis, known as the Ischial!tuberosity.

For a saddle to be comfy, it needs to fully support this area, while also relieving pressure on sensitive areas of soft tissue, such as the perineum or labia.

Saddles come in a variety of sizes designed to "t a range of sit-bone widths. Many brands!and retailers have an in-store system that will measure this distance using a simple, sit-on pressurema­pping!tool.
