There are so many things we don't learn about the human body until we become pregnant. Bodies are fascinating and weird, and motherhood absolutely brings that to the forefront. A new mom on TikTok shared a video of just how fascinating bodies can be when she showed herself being able to produce breastmilk through her armpit…yes, her armpit.

Who knew such a thing was possible?
"Yes, our milk glands run all the way up through our armpits (called the Tail of Spence). Some women can release milk from them. Me, I'm some women," TikTok user The Little Milk Bar wrote over the video she captioned "Armpit milk."
Moms in the comments shared their own experiences
"me too I thought I was the only one that got this," one user wrote.
"Mine never sprayed, but they leaked like crazy! I thought it was just sweat at first ," one added.
"Me tooooooo, this whole time I thought something was wrong with me," another added.
"ME TOO DUDE IM SO GLAD IM NOT ALONE," one commented.
People genuinely had no idea such a thing could happen
"I was today years old when I learned this. That’s freaking awesome. Women are the most amazing creatures! "
"Wow!! I never knew this!! Good to know!!! "
"I’m actually kind of shook, I never would’ve known about this."
"Omg i didnt know this was a thing pretty cool."
What is a Tail of Spence exactly?
The Tail of Spence is glandular tissue in the axilla, also known as the armpit. According to Science Direct, "Mammary tissue in the axilla, which is connected to the central duct system, becomes more obvious during pregnancy and produces milk during lactation, when it may cause various symptoms."
