Coralcone
Share
Hi, we’re Coralcone 🙋🏻♀️ a NZ-made menstrual cup created by a diver & designer, born out of frustration with old-school design.
Customisable & actually comfortable. We’re done with shame, leaks & landfill. 🐚🌊
This is a period cup that actually works!
Be prepared like Danya 🩸👜
Keep a Coralcone menstrual cup in your handbag, your gym bag, your office desk drawers.
Because your period shows up when she wants to.
And you'll never get caught off guard.
Head in the game,
eyes on the prize..and action📽️🎬
Startup founders doing whatever it takes to keep the dream alive. 😅🎬📽️
I just spent the weekend in Christchurch at Momentum Programme Aotearoa Kotahi '26 – student committees from all over Aotearoa syncing brains for 48 hours. 🧠🚀
I got asked to join the Otago team earlier this year and it’s been a constant source of inspiration since.
This weekend: startup ecosystems → foreign investment policy → global conflict → simulation theory. Sometimes in the same breath.
As an WFH founder who usually has to actively seek out IRL conversation, I was completely out of words by midday Sunday. 😮💨
Highlight: meeting two Master of Design students from Massey University — my old stomping ground 👩🏻🎓.
Ruby designed an adaptive swimming prosthesis for lower-limb amputees, inspired by her own mum. Megan created an upper-body supportive garment for people who've had a unilateral mastectomy without reconstruction.
Both projects came from the same place:
close, careful attention to bodies the mainstream design world routinely overlooks. That's what impact-driven, female-founded design looks like when it's done well. 💡✨
If New Zealand's business leaders aren't actively tapping into this wildly diverse cross-section of talent, disciplinary range, and sheer problem-solving ability, they're not just missing an opportunity – they're missing the people already building the country's next chapter.
Grateful to be even a small part of it. 🙏🏽

Ever wondered why tampons feel wrong in the water? They're designed to absorb – which is exactly the problem when you're underwater. 🏊🏽♀️🤿🤽🏽♀️🏄🏽♀️
Our Mini cone holds up to 23mL of fluid (2x a Super tampon) and performs beautifully in the water. Empty it when you're ready – not when it decides for you.
No leaky bloated tampon, no soggy string dripping down your legs. 🩸
Our small menstrual cup delivers big confidence 🌊💙
Triple Super Tampon capacity without feeling like a Super Tampon ✨🩸🩸🩸🩸

That time a peri-meno pause tried to end me. 💀
Last week I spoke at the First Cut Roadshow in Dunedin and had a painfully human brain system reboot mid-sentence. On stage. 🫠
Spoiler: I survived and I'd do it again

Dinner with strangers, total win 🍷🥩
