What's chronic vulvovaginal/pelvic pain?

We use this term to refer to a variety of conditions that cause vulvar burning, rawness, itching and pain; pain with insertion (sex, tampons, pelvic exams, etc), UTI-like symptoms, pain with urination, sitting, and tight pants. This includes conditions like vaginismus, vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction and lichen sclerosus. (Find medical resources and information here).

What's Tight Lipped?

Tight Lipped is a grassroots movement by and for people with chronic vulvovaginal and pelvic pain. We fight for a world where these conditions are diagnosed correctly, treated effectively, and given compassionate care. You can check out our storytelling podcast and read our zine, Opening Up, here.
