Baubo is the leading podcast on vulvodynia, vaginismus, and vulvovaginal pain — bringing together the world's foremost clinicians, researchers, and pelvic pain specialists. Hosted by Mathilde, a patient turned advocate who did the research so you don't have to.
1 in 4 Women will experience vulvovaginal pain in their lifetime
Pain during sex. Burning that won't quit. Discomfort with tampons or exams. These are not rare. They are not "in your head." They have names — and treatments.
What is vulvodynia? Chronic vulvar pain with no obvious cause
Burning, stinging, or rawness in the vulva area — sometimes constant, sometimes triggered by touch or pressure. It affects up to 1 in 7 women and is routinely misdiagnosed or dismissed.
What is GPPD?What is GPPD? Formerly known as vaginismus — pain or inability to allow penetration
Sex that is painful or impossible. Tampons that don't work. Pelvic exams that are agony. Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder is real, treatable, and far more common than anyone talks about.
Most people see multiple providers before getting answers. Baubo exists to shorten that journey — with the right information, from the right experts, at the start.
The research exists. The specialists exist. Now the conversation does too.

The people shaping this field, all in one place
Hi, I'm Mathilde
For years I lived with both vulvodynia and vaginismus. I started Baubo because no single resource existed that combined lived experience, expert clarity, and real clinical guidance — without shame.
Here we talk to the world's leading specialists in vulvar pain, pelvic floor therapy, and sexual health, and translate their research into language you can actually use.
