The research team at KAIT designed a gown for men. The shirt with a bladder in the abdomen filled with water simulates the growth of the baby's weight. There are bubbles in the rib cage that imitate the breast milk filled in the chest. And there is a kind of actuator that gives the feeling of a baby being treaded in the stomach.

In the course of the study, the researchers tested 80% of mothers who were rated as "pregnant".

When wearing these shirts, men can empathize and care for their wives better, making their wives feel happier.

Although there is no feeling of pain during childbirth, as well as no feeling of heartburn during pregnancy, but in the future these shirts will be designed with more realistic expression of the pregnant mother. thai.
