The invention relates to a teat cup liner to provide a gentle milking process. The teat cup liner comprises a teat cup liner head and a tube part delimiting an interior space into which a vacuum connection adapted to be closed against the vacuum opens, wherein the tube part includes a tube part rear wall extending approximately from the teat cup liner head into the area of the vacuum connection over more than 30% of the peripheral area of the tube part. The wall thickness of the tube part rear wall is definitely larger than the wall thickness of a massage wall. Said wall together with the rear wall form the tube part in a teat-receiving area. The massage wall includes at least two stabilizing strips, wherein the rear wall extends on the side of the teat cup liner head approximately along half of the periphery of the tube part and on the side of the vacuum connection along a smaller peripheral portion.
