of hands-off breast-feeding. Cloth is used for the surface of the breasts,
and it is possible to realistically feel the texture and weight of a substantial
portion of the breast. Since it is possible to fix the model on the shoulders
and the armpits, instruction and practice can be performed by using the
model to represent the breasts of the wearer. Milking technique can be
practiced using the areolar.
