(Ecns.cn)--Artificial bellies have been selling like hot cakes on the Web in China recently, sometimes fetching prices of more than 1,000 yuan.

The bellies, according to online descriptions, are flesh-colored and made of silicone rubber, and are often used to trick people or simulate the feeling of being pregnant.

Data show that middle-sized bellies, which simulate a five to seven month pregnancy, are the most popular.

An online shop owner revealed that "consumers mostly use them as stage props, but some want to experience pregnancy."
