seats for saddle pain

Question
Just started riding a stationary cycle and have found it incredibly painful to the sits bones, even with a cushion on the saddle.  Any ideas on how to avoid this.  Will I just toughen up and not be so sore if I keep at it?  Are there seats that I can replace mine with that are more comfortable?

OUCH!

Answer
I use a Gel saddle cushion on my exercise bike and a Gel saddle on my road bike. I find the gel works better at providing greater comfort. Unfortunately many exercise bikes do not have replaceable saddles, nor can they use regular bike saddles, so you don't have much of an option for replacement. Any new saddle will need to be broken in.

HTH
