Women: What's your favorite saddle?

Brooks for me too, even though, in my teens and twenties, they were about the most uncool thing you could put on a bike, used only by old, bearded CTC'ers and grizzled club riders. Like my uncle, who handed me one of his old Brooks when I returned from a summer long trip across France and Spain, having completely worn through the leather skin on my stylish Italian saddle I had spent months saving up for. I still have that first Brooks, over thirty years later. It must be at least fifty years old. The Italian saddle went in the bin, it didn't look quite so stylish wrapped in duck tape and I couldn't even afford to get it repaired. I learned my lesson and now have various Brooks on all my bikes. I don't ever expect to buy another saddle. Which, even taking into account the way their price has rocketed over recent years, still represents excellent value for money.

 I know some people find them uncomfortable.  Although, I have never had this problem, nor have I ever understood the wearing them in bit.  Mine have felt fine from first ride onwards, although you can clearly see the pattern your bum makes on them as time passes.  But perhaps my ability to ride on anything for days without any ill effects in the bottom area is due to a good deal of padding (all muscle of course, ahem) plus years and years as a kid, teenager and younger adult of riding absolutely crap saddles.
