Pelvicly is an independently operated educational website. We believe in complete transparency with our readers regarding how we fund our operations, research, and technical infrastructure.
Reader-Supported Publishing
Pelvicly is reader-supported. When you click on certain links to third-party retailers, service providers, or merchant sites and make a purchase, we may earn an affiliate commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you—in many cases, our partner relationships provide special discount codes or preferential pricing for our readership.
FTC Compliance & Link Identification
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR § 255.5) and international advertising standards:
- Every article, buyer guide, or review that contains commercial or affiliate links features a clear, conspicuous disclosure notice at the top of the page.
- All paid or affiliate links are programmatically attributed with
rel="sponsored"orrel="nofollow"attributes to maintain complete search engine compliance. - Our outbound affiliate links route through transparent redirection pathways (such as
/go/[product]/[merchant]/) that record aggregate click counts without collecting personal identifying information.
Editorial Independence & Integrity
Affiliate relationships and potential commissions never dictate our editorial conclusions, product scores, or clinical coverage:
- Zero Pay-to-Play: Brands and manufacturers cannot purchase positive reviews, higher positions in buyer guides, or editorial coverage.
- Clinical Sourcing: Medical explanations and health recommendations are derived strictly from peer-reviewed clinical research (PubMed, Cochrane, NICE, ACOG), independent of commercial partnerships.
- Unbiased Inclusion: We frequently feature, test, and recommend products, clinical devices, and public health resources from which we receive zero financial compensation when they represent the best evidence-backed option for women.
- Reviewer Independence: Healthcare professionals who perform clinical reviews of our medical content have no financial stake in affiliate earnings and do not select or endorse commercial products.
Affiliate Networks & Programs
Pelvicly participates in vetted affiliate marketing programs, including direct manufacturer affiliate networks (such as Awin, Impact, and ShareASale) and select digital platforms (including ClickBank). We strictly vet all third-party offers against our evidence standards and delist any product that makes unverified or hyperbolic health claims.
