These womb dolls are creeping me out, and I am not sure why. I must be the only one disturbed too, as these are a sell out hit.
Takara Tomy created two dolls in the forms of Mickey and Minnie Mouse which recreate the sounds of the womb. Apparently, they are designed to help your new born baby settle into a normal sleep cycle due to the familiar sensory stimulation.
So, what sound to expect? Well, the website says they "play internal melodies and sounds that recreate what they heard before birth, such as the heartbeat and bloodflow."
