What if the answer to painful sex wasn’t another dilator – but something genuinely novel?
In this episode, Mathilde sits down with Kelley, co-founder of Pelva and a fellow woman with lived-experience who went from primary vaginismus and provoked vestibulodynia to building one of the most innovative femtech products in the vulvovaginal pain space.
Kelley breaks down exactly how Pelva’s hydrogel vaginal liner works – and why the science of nociception (how pain receptors respond to pressure, friction, and force) is at the heart of its design. Think of it like an insole for your vagina: a plant-based, water-hydrated cushioning barrier that reduces concentrated pressure on the hypersensitive vestibular tissue that so many of us know too well.
In this episode:
- Kelley’s personal journey from vaginismus to provoked vestibulodynia – and how her biomedical engineer husband helped build the solution
- The nociceptor science behind Pelva and why cushioning is the key mechanism
- Who the product works best for: PVD, vaginismus, GSM
- How Pelva bridges the gap between dilator therapy and partnered sex
- What beta testing revealed
- Securing an NIH grant for a sexual health device (yes, really)
- The honest reality of fundraising in femtech as a female founder
Whether you’re in active treatment for vulvodynia, vaginismus, or genitopelvic pain – or you’re a pelvic health provider looking for new tools – I think you will love this episode.
