Why we built Core Care.
A small family. A real problem. And a product built because Emily needed it, and couldn't find it anywhere.
It started with another sleepless night.
Emily had dealt with painful periods for years. Cramps, bloating, lower back pain that made work impossible and sleep feel out of reach. The hot water bottle that cooled down too fast. The tablets that barely touched it. The heat patches that stuck awkwardly and slid around.
She wanted something wearable — something she could put on and forget about while still getting relief. Something she could wear on the couch, at her desk, or in bed. Simple. Effective. No fuss.
She looked everywhere. Nothing quite worked the way she needed it to.
So Josh built it for her.
"We didn't set out to build a brand. We just wanted Emily to feel better. Everything grew from that."— Josh, Co-founder · Core Care Co.
From one product built with love.
The first version of the Period Relief Belt was built with one goal: give Emily reliable, wearable comfort that actually worked. Heat therapy she could adjust. Gentle massage that targeted the right places. A battery that lasted. A design she could wear under her clothes without it being obvious.
Friends heard about it. Then their friends. Then people we'd never met were messaging us from all over Australia saying the same thing — "I've been looking for something like this for years."
That's when we knew this needed to be available to everyone.
Period pain is undertreated. We wanted to change that.
Talking to thousands of women across Australia confirmed what Emily already knew — period pain is often dismissed. Women are handed tablets and told to get on with it. Endometriosis goes undiagnosed for years. Comfort isn't prioritised.
We built Core Care around a simple belief: you deserve to feel comfortable. Not just on weekends or when you can stay home. Every day, wherever you are.
No gimmicks. No over-engineered features. Just what actually works.
What we stand for
The principles behind every product we make and every order we send.
Honest Products
We don't overclaim. We build things that work and let the results speak for themselves. No hype, no pseudoscience.
Real Comfort
Every feature exists because someone needed it. Heat levels, massage modes, cord-free design — all designed around real use.
Local & Accountable
We're a small Brisbane team. When you message us, you hear back from a real person. That matters to us.
Josh, Emily & Huxley.
We're a small Brisbane-based family running Core Care Co. together. Josh handles operations and product development. Emily handles everything from brand to customer care. Huxley — our Shitzu-Poodle — handles morale.
We started Core Care Co. because we were frustrated — not just by Emily's pain, but by the lack of good solutions available to Australian women. The products we found were either too complicated, too ineffective, or just not designed for everyday life.
So we started simple. One product, built properly, backed by a guarantee, and sold with genuine customer support from real humans. We read every review. We respond to every message. We care about every order.
We're proud to be 100% Australian owned and operated, and we're not going anywhere. Core Care is built to last — and so is our commitment to the women who trust us.
