Built from lived experience.
Cinder began with one woman's refusal to accept that living with pain meant putting the rest of life on hold.
From our founder
For two-thirds of my life, I lived in chronic pain from stage 4 endometriosis.
I tried everything. Heating pads that pinned me to the sofa. Devices with wires that kept me within reach of a plug. Things that worked — as long as I was willing to stop living while I used them. None of it was made for a workday, a flight, or a normal evening out.
So I asked a simple question: what if relief could just come with me? Not something to plan my day around, but something I could wear. Discreet enough to forget, powerful enough to count on.
That's why we built Cinder. We're a small team of patients, engineers and operators who believe pain care should never make you choose between comfort and living fully. Every decision we make starts there.
— Paola Galeano, Founder & CEO
WHAT WE BELIEVE
What this means for you.
1
Relief should move with you.
Care that keeps you home isn't care that fits a life. Ours is built to slip into your day and stay out of the way.
2
You deserve precision.
Engineered with Switzerland's leading microtechnology lab and shaped by the people who'll actually wear it.
3
It should feel like you.
Medical-grade doesn't have to look clinical. Cinder is something you'd choose to wear — technology and all.
