English term or phrase: nipple
"There was a nipple inside her helmet, and by turning her head, she could take a small suck on the warm water in her suit’s pack."

In a science-fiction novel, the protagonist is getting thirsty, I cannot think to anything else than 'mamelon', but I am sure that there is a more specific term.
