Just like men, women who bike regularly choose a women's saddle depending on the type of their riding style. In general, women do fine on men's seat. Most of them can use a saddle designed for men, but some women might require a specific design when looking for a woman comfort bike. A way of reducing discomfort derived from using an inappropriate saddle when riding a man's model, is tilting the saddle down in front, this reduces pain but with the drawback of sliding forward. This can do in some cases, but when a high-performance bicycle is needed, there certainly is a better solution.
Most manufacturers offer their models in both men and women saddle versions since there are significant differences, so the design is ideated having this in mind. A women's saddle is not exactly the same as that for men because our bodies are different: on average, women require a wider saddle and shorter than those marketed to men, if they desire a woman comfort bike.
Ladies have a variety of models to choose from Brooks, a well-known saddle manufacturing company from Birmingham, England, that since the last century designs traditional leather bicycle seats.
You can choose between sprung and unsprung models. Just to mention, some of the bicycle seats that have been designed especially for women, keeping in mind the idea that a woman needs a comfort bike, are the following: B18, B66 S and B67 S for city/touring, Countess for trekking, and Finesse and Team Professional S for road rides. They are similar to that designed for men, but are shorter, this is the reason why the model's name for a women's saddle in the catalo is simply identified with a 's'.
