Tight Lipped Podcast

Tight Lipped is a storytelling podcast that makes public what is often thought of as “private pain.” We ask big questions about female chronic pain. We explore how gender, race, sexual orientation and class impact women and non-binary folks' experiences of healthcare and of their own bodies. Our show focuses on conditions that are extremely common (like vestibulodynia, vaginismus and endometriosis), yet carry with them a social stigma and often impact mental health, identity and intimate relationships.

Zine by Tight Lipped

Opening Up, Tight Lipped's digital zine, shares art, poetry, and stories from over fifty contributors to break the stigma around vulvovaginal and pelvic pain, exploring intimacy, medical gaslighting, and healing.
