My mom and I swear by our Brooks saddles, and we both ride thousands (not tens of thousands) of miles a year. Brooks does offer some saddles with cutouts, but I'm unsure that it's necessary (according to the article, those cutouts may in fact increase pressure on labia). Once the saddle is broken in, it fits like a glove.

Another point raised in the article is getting a proper fit. Whenever I shop for bikes, I add about $800 to the price tag: for a new saddle, and a professional fitting. I am too old to fuck about with a bike that's gonna hurt me.
