About MoonKii

MoonKii is a French health-tech brand centered on a patented, weighted abdominal device designed to provide well-being through gentle pressure. The company was founded by Anne Odelot, an engineer who was inspired by a traditional Vietnamese postpartum ritual. After the birth of her first child in 2017, a friend introduced her to the practice of placing rice pouches on the abdomen to aid recovery. Intrigued, Odelot researched the benefits, which were confirmed by health professionals, and began developing prototypes in 2018. She filed for a patent with the INPI on January 15, 2020, which was officially granted in 2023. The product received an award at the 2024 Concours Lépine for its contribution to health. The core product is an ergonomic, weighted cushion that applies gentle, uniform pressure to the abdominal area when the user is lying down or semi-reclined. The device is designed to support postpartum recovery, ease menstrual pain and endometriosis symptoms, and improve digestive comfort. Its benefits include helping organs return to their natural position after childbirth, stimulating the digestive system, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and encouraging diaphragm relaxation for better breathing. The product consists of an inner cushion with three pockets, the central one of which is filled with 4kg of uncooked rice by the user, and a soft, OEKO-TEX certified outer cover. An optional thermal gel pack can be heated or cooled to provide thermotherapy for pain relief or cryotherapy to aid scar healing, particularly after a C-section. MoonKii operates on a direct-to-consumer business model through its website, with the device priced at €79.00. The company emphasizes an eco-responsible approach, manufacturing its products in France with sustainable and high-quality materials, such as 100% cotton for the inner cushion. The primary target market includes new mothers for postpartum recovery, women experiencing painful periods or endometriosis, and individuals of any gender with digestive issues. The device is also recommended by osteopaths and midwives.
