Fact or fiction: Your nipples itch when your boobs grow


 

Check these out, too...

  • Fact or fiction: Wearing a bra stops your breasts from growing
  • Boob hair: Normal or not?
  • Could I have Huge Boob Syndrome?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Do these blue veins on my boobs mean I'm sick or something?
I’ve heard that when your boobs are growing, your nipples itch. Is that true?


This one falls somewhere between fact and fiction. When your breast tissue is growing, you might feel a little sore or tender to the touch. They can also feel itchy because your skin is stretching to accommodate the larger size of the underlying tissue. So yes, your nipples might be itchy while your boobs are growing.


But…your nipples could be itchy for other reasons, too. Things like scratchy fabric, an allergy to your laundry detergent or super dry skin. Take a peek at your boobs. If your nipples look red and irritated, try wearing softer clothes and rubbing some moisturizer into the dry skin after you shower.

I was wondering if itchy nipples does actually mean your getting you period because I have itchy nipples occurring right now it's not due to dry skin or anything like that but it could be my period because I'm due to get that.... Just wondering if I'm going to get my period anytime soon due to itchy nipples? If so how soon?

 

Hey girly, they can certainly get more sensative when your period is coming soon but they can also get itchy because of dry skin like you said, or from irritation from wearing bras. If this is because of your period, I'd think you'd get it in one week or sooner.

So in science we were learning about reproduction and one of the Qs was how long is a normal period, and i didn't know anything about it and I couldn't answer it and everyone at my table had had theirs and my science teacher (who is a boy) came over and was like to the whole class after he saw that my sheet was blank " some of us develop slower than others but we just have to educate them so they no what they r getting into!!!! it was SOOOOOO embarrassing

So right now one feel really sore. It feels and looks bigger. But its only one. Is it just growing or what?




Hey babe,

It could be growing, or it could be right before your period - it's very common for our nipples/boobs to get sensitive or tender right before our periods begin each month. If it's causing you a lot of discomfort, try taking a Tylenol or using a heat pad to soothe the pain.
