“Thoughtful storytelling about an ignored topic”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A very important podcast

Wow! Such a great podcast. Wish I had this when I was younger. Thanks for being loud about pelvic pain. It’s crazy how many women have experienced a similar path to mine in getting diagnosed.

Not Alone Anymore

I am 20 and I have vaginismus. It’s really hard for me to talk to my friends or my mom about it. It does feel like you’re the only person in the world that is broken. It felt great to get a diagnosis and learn that it is treatable. But the treatment is a long road. I want to thank the hosts from the bottom of my heart for making and producing this. If anyone is reading these reviews and identifies with these pains, there is a Vaginismus Support group on Facebook that I’m apart of that has been life changing. Hearing others talk about their similar issues helps me feel less alone. It validates my pain. Thank you.

Great podcast -very validating

I’ve had pain with penetrative sex since my first time. The only thing that has helped me is a pelvic floor physical therapist and dilators, but you need to keep up your practice. I’m 52 and never met anyone else with this problem so it was incredible for me to hear other people explaining exactly how I feel!!! Great job.

Unexpectedly validating

This podcast uses personal stories about vaginal and vulvar pain as an avenue to examine and critique the broader social issues of sexism and racism, especially in medicine, that lead to the issues in those stories. I do not have chronic vaginal pain, but listening to this podcast is deeply validating and feels personal to me in a way that I didn’t expect. Thank you.

Thoughtful storytelling about an ignored topic

Loving this pod so much! It’s so well produced, and does an excellent job at telling stories that have heretofore been mostly ignored. It is such a balm to hear others share their experiences and to know you’re not alone. I can’t wait for more episodes. Kudos to the team!

Amazing & honest

As someone who’s suffered from pelvic pain for a decade I wish something like this existed when I was in the beginning of trying to figure out what was wrong. This podcast is so open, honest, accurate, and raw. It’s amazing! Can’t wait to hear more!

I feel seen

This podcast is changing the way I think about myself. Anxieties that for the most part have been so well buried that I rarely think about them were brought to the surface and validated by the storytellers’ vulnerability, bravery, and compassion. Highly recommend to everyone, particularly those interested in feminism, social justice, and/or sexual health (whether or not you have a vagina).

Important and Well-Produced

I was so impressed by this podcast, not only with the important subject matter that no one ever talks about, but also with the production value. It sounds extremely professional and well thought out, and the host is so brave to tell her story. As someone with pelvic floor dysfunction, I really can relate to her experience and it's refreshing to hear someone talk about it publicly. Can't wait for more episodes!

Excellent Podcast

I’m so impressed by this podcast for the thoughtful, intimate, and courageous way that it’s bringing to light an issue many are afraid to talk about openly. Thank you Noa for telling your story and for the two of you for creating a platform and dialogue for others to share their experiences. I’m looking forward to hearing more.

It's important to lift up the voices of those suffering from pelvic pain - there's so much we can learn from them and there should be no shame in pain!

I have experienced pelvic pain with penetration for years. I am so grateful to Tight Lipped for making this condition more visible for everyone who experiences it and everyone who doesn’t but should be aware of something that affects so many people with vaginas. For many years I felt alone and confused about why I couldn’t use tampons until I went to a physical therapist and started using dilators. I’m done feeling like my pain is invalid. No one should feel like that!

— Navah F.
