Kristen Bell and Katie Lowes' husbands have no problem helping them out with any breastfeeding troubles.

Bell previously told Lowes on her Daytime Emmy Award-nominated series "Momsplaining with Kristen Bell" about the time husband Dax Shepard had to nurse out clogs that she encountered during her breastfeeding experience.

"I said to my husband, 'I really need you to suck this out," Bell — who shares daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 6, with Shepard — recounted in 2018. "We could talk about it, we could be weird about it, or you could just go ahead and nurse.' He pulled it out. He had a cup next to him. He was pulling out and spitting into this cup, and I've never been more in love in my life."

Three years later, the 41-year-old "Good Place" star discussed the method once more with Lowes, 40, in a new episode of "Momsplaining."

In a clip shared exclusively with People, the "Frozen" star reiterated that the method was useful, telling Lowes, "It works!"

"I know. I've asked my husband, and to be honest with you guys, Adam has never had to nurse out a clog, but he has said numerous times, 'I would do it,'" said Lowes, who shares daughter Vera Fay, 1 next month, and son Albee, 4, with husband Adam Shapiro.

"Because that's my boy right there!" Bell responded.

Lowes also revealed why she found breastfeeding to be even more painful than giving birth at first. According to the "Scandal" actress, "great" breastfeeding nipples resemble "bottle tops," but hers are inverted, which she said "is an absolute nightmare."

"They have to suck and pull it out, which is the most painful thing. It was worse than childbirth by a lot," Lowes admitted.

Bell and her husband made waves back in August after they joined the bathing discourse started by Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. She revealed on "The View" that she and Shepard wait for "the stink" to tell when it's time to bathe their children.

"I'm a big fan of waiting for the stink," Bell explained. "Once you catch a whiff, that’s biology's way of letting you know you need to clean it up. There's a red flag. Honestly, it's just bacteria; once you get bacteria you gotta be like, 'Get in the tub or the shower."

Bell later claimed that part of the reason they do so was that they want to do their part in protecting the environment by only using water when absolutely necessary.
