Sep 25, 2011 r/pokies: Female nipples being clearly and prominently poking through clothing.
This article explains some common nipple concerns and displays images of normal nipples. It has these sections:
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
We've made a separate page about inverted nipples where you can read more.
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.
These pictures are here to let you see some of the normal variations in nipple shape and areola size/shape. There are lots of variations as you can see! The photos below are by volunteers.

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.
Is there such a thing as the best pokies strategy? Is theres something special about the Australian pokie landscape that makes a difference in your strategy? We’ll explore those topics in this article and give you the best possible overview on how to increase your chances to win on pokies when playing from Australia.
This article applies to online pokies, as these are much better for many reasons.
We’ll start with the basics – it’s vital to choose the pokies that play and pay best. It goes without saying you’ll be better off playing a quality game that pays well than some poor game that isn’t set up for you to win it.
Every pokie is an independent game that’s different than the others, even if pokies by the same developer will likely be similar. Pokies have different theoretical returns, they have different volatility, and while they all follow same universal guidelines, there are better and worse pokies.
Choosing a good pokie is easier said than done as there are hundreds of pokies, but Australians are limited to Betsoft, Rival and Realtime Gaming online pokies anyway so the choice of a good pokie starts with a choice between these three.
Of the three brands available to Australians, Betsoft is by far the best one. Betsoft is releasing quality pokies every month. These have excellent theoretical payouts, amazing graphics and fun gameplay. There are over 100 games to choose from.
Realtime Gaming is a good developer but since the RTP is configurable by the casino, you don’t ever really know what the RTP of your pokie is. It could be set on Low, Medium or High setting, and you don’t know which one is it. That’s why we advise caution in case of Realtime Gaming.
Rival is the least technologically advanced developer of the three, though they too have some good pokies.
High variance pokies may seem tight, but that’s actually a good thing. You don’t want to be playing a pokie that gives you tiny wins all the time – you want to wait a bit and then hit the jackpot. It might as well come on your next spin.
Also, examine the paytable of the game and see if it’s capable of giving you a big win. Some pokies aren’t designed to do that – but to pamper the player with small wins.
An ideal pokie would look like this: it would be a game that can give you really big wins from many different directions, but at the same time the game should be giving you enough small wins regularly so you don’t lose a lot of money while you wait for that mega win.
Without that possibility of a big win (not all pokies have it!), it’s not worth playing the game at all. And if you aren’t getting small wins to keep you going, the game will be too risky and it would deplete your bankroll too quickly.
Betsoft pokies are among the rare ones that fit this bill. Not all of them, of course, as different pokies are set up differently, but if you’re looking for that perfect pokie, you’ll most likely find it in the Betsoft portfolio.
Is there such a thing as the best time to play pokies? You might be surprised, but actually we have an article about that subject. It turns out this can affect your bankroll a great deal, so go ahead and read that one.
Playing a ‘regular’ pokie and playing a progressive jackpot pokie are two different worlds. When you play a normal pokie, you want to make the game pay, and are primarily concerned with bet lines, the paytable, the free spins game, bonus rounds and other things related to actual gameplay.
When playing a progressive jackpot pokie, you don’t care about the game at all. This is lottery – you will have several hundred tickets as your chance to win that progressive jackpot. You’ll set your budget, make a deposit, start the game and set it on autoplay. When you’re done, you leave and come back same time tomorrow for another round.
This is how almost all the progressive jackpot winners play these pokies. Sit down in the evening, do your progressive jackpot session, and do it again tomorrow.
A big setback here is that Australians can no longer win the Mega Moolah jackpot, and that’s by far the best progressive jackpot pokie in existance. So again, you will likely be playing one of the Betsoft progressive pokies.
Welcome bonuses and free spins are free money you can use to win on pokies, and casinos are just giving them away. This simple boost can be enough to change your luck for the better, and it might just be the edge you’re looking for.
It isn’t really worth it to play pokies without these perks. And now, let’s explore some specific pokie strategies that deal with the actual way you play the game.
We’re all familiar with betting systems such as Martingale, where you increase your bet every time you don’t win, hoping that the win is ‘due’ and you want to catch it with a higher bet rather than a lower one.
There is no proof that any kind of betting system can give you an edge while playing pokies, since every spin is random and individual, so you can’t ever know if the win is due or not. It never is. In practical tests, having a progressive betting system where you increase your bet when you don’t win is a very risky strategy that usually leads to much faster bankruptcy.
As you can see on our How to win on pokies every time article, a different strategy is needed. You need a good pokie that pays well, and when you get ahead of the game you walk away. There’s nothing in that article about making the pokie pay by increasing the bet size. That doesn’t work.
You can toy around with different bet sizes during the playing session just to add another layer of fun, but don’t ever think the game owes you anything and that the win is due.
Of course, you do want to be playing with the largest possible bet allowed by your budget. People usually set their budget, and then set the bet per spin so they can play for 500 or 1000 spins. So, if your budget is $1000, you can play 1000 spins of $1 or 500 spins of $2. And this is best left unchanged throughout your playing session.
Finally, you have to use your best judgement at all times. Maybe you’ve been playing some pokie for a while, you lost 30% of your starting budget, and you still haven’t triggered the free spins round. The question here is – do you keep going since you already invested a lot, and because the free spins game is ‘due’, or do you quit?
In all likelihood, if the game feels too tight then it probably is too tight. There are pokies that just don’t give you the free spins very often, and if you decide to push for it, you might be left disappointed.
The key is to know what you’re doing and what kind of a pokie you’re playing. In our Pokies section you’ll find reviews of various pokies so you know what to expect from each one.
