The invention relates to a breast shell for the female breast, comprising a collecting container which collects the lactated milk and which is connected to the breast shell. The aim of the invention is to provide means with which a milking pressure can be brought about together with the stimulation of the nipple and the adjoining regions in order to effectively secrete the milk without requiring a strong vacuum and without the associated pains and problems for the woman, wherein the milk is completely collected in a hygienic manner at the same time. This is achieved by the arrangement in that a breast shell is designed as a milking collar so as to have at least one flexible part, with which the milking collar can be sealingly placed on the female breast, at least on the areola, and the breast shell is designed such that a manual milking pressure which brings about a lactation can be applied to the nipple and the adjoining regions.
