  • Yes. Looks like a thingy for milking women. Breast pump sounds even better.

  • I agree with @drinksupreme in both the answer and the sentiment- this is one of the few YouTube channels worth subscribing to!

  • Is it a tumor?

  • Is it a nebulizer? :o)

  • a syringe of sorts,cut first then collect the fluids?

  • I just have to say that I love this series!

  • Some type of pump. Either breast milk or seamen collecting?
