Hydro-Powered Breast Massagers
Check out this gallery of vintage French quack breast-enlargement devices powered by the water power from your sink! I don’t have enough French to evaluate all of the advertising claims in these vintage advertisements; I see a lot of “massosein” and a little bit of “développé” and “embellis” and quite a bit of “affirmis” but I don’t have the linguistic nuance to tell just how wildly over-the-top the false claims were for this doohickey. Knowing how similarly-useless devices were marketed in English, I’m assuming these ads are screamingly fraudulent by today’s standards, but that’s just a guess:
I’m also not sure just how old these ads might be, although I suspect someone familiar with the way French postal addresses have changed over time could probably peg it for us in the comments within a few decades.

I always trust doctors who wear wing-collars, non?
A few decades, indeed. I would say around 1935.
Commentary where I found some of these suggested 1930s, but it was places where ignorance tends to reign (Pinterest) so I didn’t give it much credence. Thanks, Roger.
This things still existed in the late 70’s. As a teen, I remember oogling them in mail-order catalogs such as “La Redoute” or “Les 3 Suisses”.
Good to know, Olivier!
Got one such device at a yard sale for $5. My wife loves having her breasts sucked and pulled when I’m not available for the task.
