<"Aren't we lucky that nipples/teats, like milk, are relatively species
specific?!"

I guess so, otherwise we humans would be inventing garments to cover up
other mammalian nipples. Can you imagine a field full of cows wandering
around with 'cow-bras' on their udders!>

Actually, what I had in mind was what it would look like if women's
breasts had a permanent 2+ inch long teat in place of the nipples! Do you
suppose the bra manufacturers would have us fold them over so the front
would look flat? or fashion bigger cups with thick padding with a 2" long
hollow in the center to tuck the teat into???

Might require questions at fittings like a tailor asking a man whether he
"dresses on the left or the right"!
