Have you ever seen the little nipple puller-outers they sell in Japanese
stores? I like checking out the baby/breastfeeding department in all types
of ethnic stores and was surprised to see this little contraption. I had to
open the box to see what it was. It looks like a really small bike horn or
old bulb breast pump. It is plastic with a red bulb. The whole thing is
about three inches tall and comes in a pink box. It has pretty good suction,
would probably help pre-natally and it is made by Pigeon. As I recall, it
was about $2.50 US.
