Q: Inverted Nipples
asked by: AltarImage on May 30th, 2008

I was wondering if there were any other women out there with inverted nipples. I'm really insecure about mine and often think that men will be freaked out that I don't have an actual "nipple". I would love thoughts from both men and women. If you don't know what an inverted nipple is here's the definition:
An inverted nipple is a nipple that, instead of pointing outward, is retracted into the breast. In some cases, the nipple will be temporarily protruded if stimulated, but in others, the inversion remains regardless of stimulus. Women and men can have inverted nipples.

I don't have inverted nipples myself, but I do not think that men will be freaked out at all by this. Everyone has different breasts, and any guy who is that shallow is not worth your time.

Thanks for the tip. I know that most men won't be freak out by it because none of my boyfriends have really said anything about it, I was just wanting to know if there were other people out there that had them Smile

I myself have seen this once and we acted normal upon it. it may be because of weight or stress causing this.

Thank you for the advice. I know that most men won't be freak out by it because none of my boyfriends have really said anything about it; I just desired to know if there were other people out there that had them.

I was told that if you use a breast pump it brings them out. When I had my daughter a lady in my ward had inverted nipples and they used a breast pump which brought them out.

Well yeah she did it so she could breast feed and I remember her telling me how some girls after breast feeding or pumping their nipples stay out forever and she was pumping heaps in hope for hers to stay out.

Not eally wokng for me using breast pump. mine was inverted on both sides. Stim or not, cold or hot.. its stll inverted. I'm pretty ashamed of it. None of my girls had my breast milk, pretty sad. I had an inverted nipple correction on both of my nipple, but the doctor who did it did not do a great job.Its still inverted Sad
