Get the inside deets on what sparked its creation, straight from the creator, Jo. Spoiler: It’s all about making your period care as easy as it should be.

Let me introduce you to rae, the heat device I wish existed years ago. After decades of dealing with endometriosis and adenomyosis (seriously, we’re talking seven surgeries, a bowel resection, a hysterectomy), I decided to flip the script and create some better period self-care options for all of us who’ve been there.

So, Why rae?

Heat has always been my go-to, my lifeline. But honestly? What’s out there right now is trash (literally). I’ve gone through more disposable heat pads than I’d like to admit, and the waste? Yikes. When you’re in pain, you do what you gotta do - no judgment. But eventually, the guilt from all that waste caught up to me. So, I started searching for something better: reusable, eco-friendly, and (obviously) still effective.

So, I made what didn’t exist. A sleek, discreet, powerful heat device that actually works. One you can take anywhere and use without making it a thing. rae was born from my frustration and the need for better period self-care.

A Device Designed by Someone Who Gets It

Look, I wasn’t about to slap a label on some random product and call it a day. I’ve had enough of unreliable, unsafe options, and I definitely wasn’t about to trust anything less than perfect near my body - especially when there’s a battery inside! That’s why I spent three (very long) years with Melbourne’s brightest tech minds designing rae from scratch. No shortcuts. Every safety test, every certification, every box was checked. I was not messing around.

Yes, there are other electric heat devices out there, but most of them? Mass-produced, off-the-shelf gadgets with zero thought behind them. And a lot of them haven’t even passed basic safety checks. That terrifies me. rae was built with care and tested to the highest standards because, at the end of the day, it’s going near your most sensitive areas. I wanted to be damn sure it was safe.

Turning Pain into Purpose

Creating rae was my way of taking all the pain and frustration from my own endo journey and turning it into something that could actually help other people. After all the surgeries, treatments, and endless disappointments, I needed to make sense of it all. rae isn’t about flashy sales pitches or big promises - it’s about actually making people feel better during their periods.

If rae makes even one person’s period easier, then all the work will have been worth it. rae’s here for you, and I hope it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Big love,

Jo
