[stylist] need thesaurus help

[Cheryl Orgas & William Meeker]

Eve,

A challenging question.  Don't know how you are using the word, but here's
my limited offering, confirmed at Merriam Webster on-line:

dugsplural of dug Noun: The udder, teat, or nipple of a female animal. 
 
Since we men have nipples too, it may be that "dugs" is used only where milk
production is possible.  I've never heard the word used in reference to the
male anatomy.

avoid that as it reminds me too much of dairy goats. haha    Thanks to both
of you. Eve
