When it comes to nipples, what's normal?

 

 

Nipples are kind of like belly buttons. They can be “innies” or “outies.” Although you don’t hear about them much, inverted nipples are actually fairly common. Girls and guys can have them, and it can affect one or both or your nipples.
 

So what’s the cause? There are actually a number of factors that contribute to the way your nipples look. Two common causes of inverted nipples are scar tissue and a shorter milk duct. Both draw the nipple back instead of letting it stick out.

The biggest problem a severe case of inverted nipples can cause involves breastfeeding—and we’re betting (and hoping) that’s far from your mind right now.
 
While you can get surgery to “fix” your nipples, it’s painful and usually unnecessary. There’s no reason to be worried unless this inversion is a very sudden, recent occurrence, or you’re experiencing pain. If you are concerned, though, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor. It never hurts to make sure you’re healthy!

im 14 and a half..and my boobs have no started growing at all. it makes me extremely self concious because every girl in my grade at least has some boobs. even a few boys have commented on my flatness and its really been hurting my self esteem. i dont want to go into high school with no boobs D: im beginning to think ill never grow.




Hey girl, you'll grow eventually, no worries. Ignore the comments for now and just focus on taking care of yourself. You have no control over when they grow, but not taking care of yourself physically and mentally won't help.

MODMODMOD 1)where can i get cute MATCHING bras and undies that aren't push up bras or thongs? 2)if i like preppy style and i dress preppy, will people think im a snob? 3)where can i get cute black knee high boots (like riding boots) for under $100?

 

 

Hey girl. 1) I've always found it best to mix and match. I've seen some sets at Kohls and Target in the past though. 2) If you like a style then go for it. People will judge you based on your personality, not your clothes. If they do judge, then they are not worth your time. 3) I would search around for these. I think DSW has some cute options:

I dont think you need surgery but I dont know much about this problem. Breasts are mainly for feeding our babies when we have them someday. So if there is a problem with breast feeding, I think, is the only reason to get something done. But it is true that our chest affects how we feel about ourselves, good of bad, but people who have dealt with breast cancer sometimes need surgery to make them look normal again.
