Nipple shape worries
Many women worry if their nipple looks funny or odd or is inverted. Some worry about hair, or those 'bumps', or the shape or the size. It's been amazing to observe how MUCH women indeed angst over these things - mostly in vain..
..because there is enormous variation in nipple and areola size and shape among normal women! For example, areola size and color varies with women. Also, areola color can appear darker when it's hot because of increased circulation, just like your skin appears redder when the blood vessels dilate near the skin in hot weather.

Bumps on areola
If you worry about those 'funny bumps' on the areola, those are supposed to be there; they are called Montgomery glands or areolar skin glands. Their function is partially unknown, but scientists suppose they secrete a liquid that lubricates the nipple/areola area.
These Montgomery glands can be about unnoticeable, OR stand out as bumps on the areola. They often become more prominent during pregnancy. Also, it appears they are white in some women.
Some women have squeezed them and can get a white substance out, but please do NOT squeeze them because that causes them to become infected.
In one study, it was noted that women with more areolar glands had better or more optimal breastfeeding start after delivery. They also noted that the glands were seen in virtually all women in the study but with great interindividual variations; their areolar distribution was nonrandom, and about 1/5 of the women had glands giving off a secretion (this is about women who have just given birth).
Hairs on areola/nipple
Also, many women have some hairs around the nipple (on the areola). This is perfectly normal because there are hair follicles in the areola. There is no need to 'treat' the hair, but if you absolutely don't like them, trim them carefully with scissors. Don't pluck them with force, because that can make them grow back thicker and darker, or cause them go become ingrown under the skin which leads to scarring. It is also possible that the hair follicle gets obstructed, which can cause a sebaceous cyst to form under the skin, or that the follicle gets infected. Apart from using scissors to remove the hair on areola, laser hair removal treatment is also possible.
However, if the hairs are so many that they mimic the male hair pattern on chest or if they keep growing in larger and larger quantities, that may mean that the body has higher levels of androgens (male hormones) than normal. If a woman has excessive hair growing in typical male hair pattern, the symptom is called hirsutism. There are many causes for hirsutism, so please follow the link above to learn more.
One common cause for such hirsutism is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, don't use the mere existence of hair as a 'diagnosis' for that but consider all the other factors and possible symptoms as well.
Puffy or flat nipples
If your nipples are 'puffy' and not constantly erect they are called flat nipples. That is perfectly normal too, and fairly common among teens. Typically the nipple 'sticks out' (becomes erect) when stimulated by cold, clothing, or rubbing.
This puffy or flat appearance may stay as it is until a woman becomes pregnant. For most women with flat nipples, the nipples evert (poke out) during pregnancy as the elasticity of the skin changes. Even if not, a full-term baby can usually suck out a flat nipple.
Also it's a total misconception that all females get erect nipples in sexual activity like men get an erect penis.. not every woman does. Nipples are not to be compared to penises. The organ in females that corresponds to the male penis is clitoris, and clitoris can and does become erect (it is just harder to notice).

Hi Jessika,
Remember the nipple is there, and your nipples are just 'flat' for now. That is fairly common in teens. Mine were flat too until age 28 when I got pregnant.
When it comes to babies, babies don't suck on nipples—they take in a big mouthful. It's not the nipple that receives the sucking action—it's the areola that they 'suck' and the nipple just releases the milk.
An illustration tells this better than words. The nipple is completely inside the mouth, not visible from outside. Babies don't 'nibble' on nipples. The nipple looks long because it does get stretched when nursing.. but that does not hurt (I know, I have nursed 3 babies). Also, women's nipples do get larger during pregnancy.
Now, I know some guys do like to suck on women's nipples. But some won't. Keep in mind also that in a relationship it's NOT only us women trying to do everything what men might fancy or like -- YOU also have the right to tell what you like sexually, and if you happen not to like your nipples sucked, then your partner definitely should take that into account.
A sexual relationship works when both understand what the other partner likes. Most men definitely are concerned about 'satisfying' their woman -- in other words taking into account what she likes and doesn't like.
Erect nipples poking through clothing
In some women, the nipples stay erect (stick out) all the time, and can easily be seen through clothing. If this bothers you, there exist 'nipple covers' - little skin-colored round things made of silicone that attach to the skin and can hide the nipples from being seen. Search for 'silicone nipple covers' online, or ask for them in a bra store.
'Hard nipples' - areola or nipple skin
Someone once wrote to us: '..when I get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole thing really scrunches up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. It looks really weird and ugly, and I haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. What is wrong with my areola/nipples??'
Well, nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does, too. It is a normal reaction to the coldness, to irritation, or to stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a goosebump thing similar to what your other skin does. People often call this phenomenon 'hard nipples'.
Also note that the skin on areola has less feeling or sensation than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive, but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as with the mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also, this varies among individuals.

The nipples are sensitive, but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as with the mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also, this varies among individuals.
The skin on the nipple and areola can also be flaky or scaly, with little scales of skin coming off. This is likely just dry skin or eczema (far more likely). It could also be a symptom of Paget's disease (rare).
Areola color
Areola skin tones are caused by two pigments: red and brown. Therefore, the resulting areola color can be various shades of pink and brown till very dark brown. Dark skinned individuals usually have a darker areola than light-skinned individuals. However, areola color also varies quite a bit between individuals. Some pale-skinned individuals can have totally pale areolas where it does not appear darker than the other skin.
During pregnancy, the areola usually darkens substantially. This will create a large contrast between the areola and the rest of the breast. Newborns have limited vision, but can see such a contrast easily, and thereby the darkened areola helps the newborn locate the nipple. In a few months after giving birth, the areola will start fading. However, it usually does not fade back to the pre-pregnancy color but remains slightly darker.
Areola color is also known to change because of hormonal changes, birth control pills, aging, or because of certain medications.

An inverted nipple
An inverted nipple is 'turned inside' instead of pointing outside. It appears like a indentation in the middle of the areola.
It is possible to 'coach' the inverted nipple out so it becomes an 'outie' and everts.
If a nipple that was an 'outie' suddenly inverts, this along other symptoms such as itching and pain may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer. Etihad 77w.
We've made a separate page about inverted nipples where you can read more.
Nipple piercing
Nipple piercing has become more and more popular in recent years. Nipple piercing procedure has the risk of infection, mastitis (serious breast infection), scarring, jewelry rejection, boils, risk of HIV or hepatitis transmission (from unsterilized equipment), and more (it has even led to a partial mastectomy).
The jewelry may also cause problems while wearing it because clothing you wear can catch it.

As far as breastfeeding and nipple piercing is concerned, you can breastfeed as long as you don't have a buildup of internal or external scar tissue. If you do, or if the piercing became infected during the healing process, you may have a problem with milk flow. Most moms with pierced nipples can breastfeed fine. They should just remove the jewelry while breastfeeding.

THE INTERNET is an incredible source of LIES and SCAMS. No, toothpaste on nipples won't help. Total silliness!

I think what they mean by that expression is not the nipple.. but the AREOLA being as large as a slice of pepperoni. Areola is the darkenedarea around the nipple but not the nipple itself.
I don't think that is even very big.. many many women have their areola the size of pepperoni slice, and often even larger! Keep in mind, areola size increases inpregnancy so tons of women have large areolas! Look again at our gallery on this page.. Yours are most definitely normal too, no matter what their size.

On Woman's Equality Day, hundreds of people gathered for the Go Topless Parade in Manhattan, to celebrate equal shirtless rights for all. As with all events with naked elements, there seemed to be a parallel parade of (mostly male) onlookers snapping photographs, prompting one marcher to yell, 'The internet is full of boobs you know!'
In a statement, Go Topless spokesperson Rachel Jessee explained, 'Our goal is for equal gender topless rights to be enforced worldwide, freeing women's nipples.' Similar parades were also held in Los Angeles and in dozens of cities around the world on Saturday, but Jessee noted, 'New York has been one of the world's few cities to legally recognize women's topless rights.' She also credited the movement gaining traction with the movie Free the Nipple and celebrity support from Scout Willis, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Iggy Azalea, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler, 'who have been baring their nipples publicly.'
Parade participants were mostly from NYC and the surrounding region, but a pair of marchers came from Canada (Montreal and Toronto) specifically to attend the event. Many of the participants were newcomers to the parade, and they and veterans alike eagerly seized the opportunity to march topless to destigmatize and desexualize the female body from Columbus Circle to Bryant Park.

While there were some tourists surprised by the parade—our photographer overheard some saying 'Whoa, crazy New York!' or 'Go ladies!'—there was a large, almost overwhelming contingent of men with cameras and smartphones following the parade. The Post reports some male hecklers were 'quickly ushered away by cops'.
Some participants told Gothamist that it was worse in past years when there was a smaller police presence and no barriers—all were appreciative of the heavy police turnout. Pechanga bingo december 2019.

The Go Topless movement also has roots in the Raelian movement, which believes that aliens created life on Earth. Jessee said, 'Spiritual leader, Maitreya Rael, who inspired the creation of GoTopless and founded the Raelian Movement, says there must be absolute equality between men and women to ensure the preservation of society. Centuries of gender inequality and exclusive male rule created major planetary imbalances that could prove fatal to society. It's time for change!' She added that enforcement of equal topless rights is a crucial aspect of gender equality.
