Let’s Talk About the Vulva, our besti who we've never met but always tend to neglect,

Here’s the truth: the vulva is having a hard time—and no one’s talking about it. We’re living in an era of AI everything, and it's cool if we know everything about it, and maybe we're even asking the AI about our vulva, what it is and how to treat it. We sometimes just lose touch with ourselves due to the day to day business that keep us going, bringing money on the table, and keeping us alive, but our inner health... or even our feelings, we neglect. It's a place so dark and unknown and that we are not proud of to talk about, only to besti's maybe. Millions of women are still suffering from issues like itching, burning, pain during sex, infections that keep coming back, and skin conditions that even some doctors can’t name properly. It’s 2025. Why is vulva health still a mystery?! From everyday discomforts to chronic pain that disrupts lives, here’s what vulva-owners are actually dealing with: • Recurrent infections that antibiotics barely touch • Painful sex, even when everything else feels fine • Mysterious burning or rawness that no test can explain • Skin conditions like eczema or lichen sclerosus—yep, that’s a thing • Menopause and hormone shifts that turn vulvar tissue into sandpaper • Products that irritate instead of help (don’t even get us started on scented soaps) And here’s the kicker: many of these problems are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or just flat-out ignored. Women are told to “relax,” “drink more water,” or “just try coconut oil.” Would we say that if men had pain in their genitals every day? Doubt it. So why aren’t we doing more? Because historically, vulva health hasn’t been a priority in medicine, research, or tech. But that’s changing—and it has to. The demand is real, the science is catching up, and women are done settling for silence. Dear Innovators, Entrepreneurs, and Investors: This is your moment. We need: • AI tools that decode intimate health patterns • Materials that respond to hormonal changes • Non-invasive, at-home diagnostics • Smart underwear (yes, really) • Better treatments, better care, better everything Vulva health isn’t niche—it’s half the planet. And it’s time we treated it that way. If you want to be part of the next wave of meaningful, high-impact innovation—this is where the future is. Not just profitable, but powerful. Let’s build tech that actually feels good. Women are ready. Are you?
