breast pumping/induced lactation

[Guest]

I understand breast pumps are used in BDSM -- what types of pumps, where do you get them. My fiance and I are interested in inducing lactation -- please help.

Contact La Leche League or go check out a copy of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding from the library. This will give you the right start.

As a La Leche member I would be hesitant of going to them for assitance for sexual reasons. Depending on the leader you may find that the reaction is very judgemental. The book is fabulous and there are a number of herbs that act as milk enhancers. I would be happy to research some for you-but off hand I remember that hops( like in beer) atre excellent when drunk as a tea.

I was suggesting La Leche League as a source of information on the best breast pumps. I am sure the ones I have from 10 yers ago have been vastly improved upon. And as to the reason why...a story of a friend who needs the information can be useful in such a situation.

Medela breast pumps are the absolute best but be prepared to pay for the quality. Some lactation consultants and hospitals do offer rentals-but if you aren't a mom it may be a tad tricky. Ebay has a lot of reasonable pumps for sale- upper end Medelas. That may be a source. Medela's run from $100-$500, so this will be a major investment. The smaller battery operated pumps, available at ToysRus for $20-$30, are tricky for some folks-even with a well established milk supply I never found them as comfortable or easy to use as my Medela.
