20110924001

Men can hardly imagine how hard the pregnancy would be, until they could now experience a real-life fetus with this simulator designed by Kosaka Lab at the Kanagawa Institute. It is shaped like a jacket, with rubber balloons, vibrators, a water bag and other things to imitate the changes in the process of pregnancy.

Baby Head Masks

20110603101

Honestly babies shouldn’t have had such weird expressions as created by designer Landon Meier. Neither are they fit for adults, because they will look more eccentric when used on adult’s bodies.
