Milkwise — Induced Lactation, Explained by Liz

Research Study

Community survey

What actually gets the milk flowing for you?

There’s very little published data on this topic. Our goal is to fill that gap with real data and evidence about a topic that doesn’t get the interest it should. We want your real experience and feedback so we know where to go next on our mission to bring milking to the masses!

Completely anonymous – No Stigma – No Judgement

Before you start

Three quick checks. None of these answers are stored – they only determine whether the survey is open to you.

What we collect: Your responses will be stored anonymously. We wont ask for your name, contact information or any personally identifiable information. Throughout the survey you may be asked unrelated questions that will be used to confirm that you are a human and meet the minimum demographic requirements for our study. If you have any questions about the survey or its content please reach out to our administration team.

This is a community poll intended to collect scientific data about breast milking and lactation. If you dont feel comfortable answering any of the questions on the survey stop immediately!

Thanks for stopping by

Looks like you’ve taken this survey on this device. One response per person keeps the numbers meaningful – but you’re very welcome to see how everyone answered.

How everyone answered

Grouped comparisons across everything the survey asks.

Sensitive screen. If you are in a public space, be aware that someone could see your screen and see your responses to personal questions about your body, sexual habits and experiences with breast milk/lactation.

Illustrative data. The figures below are simulated for demonstration and are not real responses.

Separate study

Imaging sub-study

We’re recruiting separately for a study that involves chest photographs. If you’d like details on eligibility and on how images would be handled, stored, and withdrawn, email us and we’ll send the full information sheet.

We won’t be able to connect your message to the answers you just gave – that’s deliberate, and it’s why we ask you to write to us rather than collecting anything here. The sub-study is subject to ethics review before it opens.

Self-selected sample: people who saw results are likelier to answer a survey about results than people who quietly stopped. Read these numbers as a rough signal, not a finding.
