Recently I signed the site up for an incentive program. If you use any of the advertiser links to make any purchases you will be supporting the running of this site. Since 2000 I have run this site out of my own pocket. This will help defer those costs and the ones to come for many years. If these links work well I hope to save the money over time and donate some towards research. (Anything you see advertised on the Free Exchange is not part of my program and beyond my control. That message board is run using free software which chooses their own advertisers.) I have worked hard to choose advertisers and products that I feel will not contradict the mission of this site.

If you find something you like on any of these sites but decide to purchase an item at a later time, please come back to this site and click through the links to make your purchase so that VulvodyniaSupport.com can benefit from the program. Thanks for all your support!
