You've built your life around the pain.
You know where every heating pad in the house is. You've left dinners early, kept a hot water bottle at your desk, and quietly planned trips around how you might feel. You've been told to just rest, as if life pauses on command. It doesn't. And relief shouldn't ask you to.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're far from alone.
1 in 4 people live with chronic pain every day,
and most of today's relief still keeps them tethered to a plug.
HOW CINDER WORKS
Wear it. Set it. Forget it's there.
Everything you need works together, and you're in control from your phone. Three intuitive components designed to deliver one seamless, wearable experience.
THE UNDERWEAR YOU WEAR
Underwear you'd wear anyway.
Pieces you'd choose on looks and feel alone — with the technology hidden so well you forget it's even there.
THE CARE INSIDE
Support where it hurts.
Ultra-thin membranes bring heat and TENS to your abdomen and lower back, right where pelvic pain tends to sit.
THE APP IN YOUR HAND
Adjust it in seconds.
Turn it up on the train, ease it down at your desk. Your relief, on your terms, wherever you are.
It gives me the freedom to leave the house without being stuck next to an outlet. It's practical, comfortable, and has made a real difference in helping me stay active and live my life.

HOW WE’RE BUILDING IT
Clinically grounded. Designed for real life.
Heat and TENS are not experimental therapies. They are two of the most established, drug-free approaches to pain relief, used in clinical settings for decades.
We’re making them wearable, developing the technology with CSEM, Switzerland’s leading microtechnology lab, and alongside OB-GYNs, pain specialists, and clinical partners in Bern and New York.

WHERE WE ARE GOING
We start with underwear.
We won't stop there.
Pelvic pain is our beginning, it's where the need is greatest, and where Paola's own story started. But pain doesn't stay in one place, and neither will Cinder. We're building a full wardrobe: leggings, bodysuits, tops, socks and more, designed to bring relief to different kinds of pain across the body. A world where everyone, every size, shape and gender, is cared for.
The technology is modular and reusable so it moves with you from one garment to the next.
