I ride 20-30 miles per day. I never ride without padded under-shorts, either them or padded riding shorts in the summer. You can find them on ebay for around $10 a pair. They replace your skivvies. . These are in combination with a contoured leather hammock-type saddle. I find this combo works far better for lasting comfort than padded saddles with gel or foam The saddle I ride is a Selle Anatomica H, designed for riders 190-250 pounds (I am 208). It is very well made in the USA and still looks new after 2800 miles of riding. I carry a Brooks rain cover for it in case of precipitation.
As Mr. Coffee said, saddleadjustment is critical. No matter how good your saddle is, it will put some hurt on you if it is not properly adjusted, especially the seat angle.
