    It’s for breast pumps, for breastfeeding moms to share the activity of feeding a newborn. Respect for motherhood 🌎

          I mean, obviously don’t if you’re uncomfortable, but in general they are used by breastfeeding mothers in order to store milk for later. That’s done so that others can feed the child, either while the mother works or while others are caring for the child more generally.

          As well, they can be used in a kink setting too. I’m a trans woman that worked with their doctor in order to induce lactation. I needed to use a breast pump, alongside medication, to do that. It makes me really euphoric, and even though it’s only a small amount, I like being able to breastfeed sexual partners because it feels really nurturing.

            Just out of curiosity, is that a permanent effect or does it require continuous medication and practice to “maintain”?

              You do need to maintain it. I have chronic health issues that cause nausea, and Domperidone (the med I take for lactation) is a good anti-emetic as well. Then, milking with a pump is required to maintain a high amount of production, but there’s always a little bit for me.

    So what is the remedy for having an elastic nipple? Some sort of flange that bulbs out towards the top so the sides don’t touch anymore?
