        As requested, I'm re-posting nipple widget directions.
         Ruthie Wilson showed me this simple, cheap-to-make
> device.
>       How to make a widget:  I use (2) 12cc syringes (no needles!).
> Remove the plunger from one, and connect the two (needle port to needle
> port) with tubing.  Any tubing.  (oxygen tubing, IV tubing, tubing you
> can buy from the hardware store.)  Place the plungerless syringe over the
> nipple and draw back on the plunger in the other syringe.  Try this on
> your own arm.  It doesn't hurt, and the nipples can be drawn out gently
> over a few days.
