    Put an ice cube on 'em. That'll scare 'em out. :p


    But seriously, there's nothing wrong, abnormal, or unhealthy about inverted nipples. If the person you're with cares, tell them to eat it.

    Okay... this might be serious. Have your nipples always been inverted, or did they suddenly become inverted?

    If they've always been like that, then that's normal and nothing to worry about. But if your nipples suddenly became inverted, you need to go to the doctor. It could be a symptom of an underlying serious medical condition.

    I don't want to scare you, but I do want you to take care of yourself :)

    no.... they have always been inverted. I know it's normal but I'd like to have "normal" looking nipples... They do get hard when their stimulated but as soon as you stop playing with them they go back to being inverted.

    The only things "difficult" about naturally inverted nipples are that 1) it presents a different sort of challenge for breastfeeding, although that is certainly something that MANY breastfeeding moms successfully overcome and 2) personal issues.

    My personal opinion is this: If I care enough to be intimate with someone, I'm not looking for this "magazine" body image that we tend to think we need when we look into the mirror. You were made the way you were made and it's beautiful. Women particularly are encouraged to feel "less than satisfied" with their bodies for whatever reason --- HOWEVER --- I will also say that I know a few people who have had breast reduction or enlargement surgeries because the size or shape of their breasts was problematic enough to them that they literally had mental suffering because of it --- I don't think those cases are all that common though.

    Spend some time with yourself, in front of a mirror if you like, and look at your WHOLE body, from the perspective of YOUR BODY. For example, I once read about an exercise to help your body image in which you choose a body part that you particularly don't like --- From the viewpoint of that body part, write a little letter from said body part to yourself, think of what it might say to you about the way you feel about it --- It's sobering to realize how MEAN we can be to ourselves and our bodies just because we don't think some particular part of ourselves measures up to what we're told is "normal" (How many model bodies do you see walking down the street where you live? I know there aren't many here, and every woman I know who I consider to have a body I'd love to have ---well, they all have issues with their bodies too ---which just tells me that getting happy in my own body is more important than trying to make it match someone else's idea of "beauty" or whatever....

    Hope this helps you love your inverted nipples a little more and realize that we are all beautiful creatures with flaws and imperfections that don't really matter in the end, you know???

    There is inverted nipple repair surgery, supposedly it's not that big a deal and from looking at pics on the internet, it works. But I personaly don't think inverted nipples look all that bad. Unless you are a nudist, I wouldn't see why it would be worth it to go through surgery just to have nipples that stick out.

    I wouldnt have surgery to "fix" this. I would imagine it could have disasterous effects on your future attempts to nourish your children. No reason to deprive a baby of the best food posssilbe for cosmetic reasons.

    Here is an article about inverted nipples. It is written for breastfeeding moms. All the womyn I know who have had inverted nipples (and as a Lactation Consultant I have seen a lot) all of them had major relief of symptom DURING and after breastfeeding. The sucking a baby does to extract milk is the best way to correct this problem.

    Here is the article

    Have you considered piercing your nipples? That will definitely bring them to stand at attention-all the time. Go to an experienced piercer and have him/her take a look at them...it shouldn't cost you anything to have a consultation, and the piercings themselves aren't too bad....check out bmezine.com-their QOD can answer pretty much any question you might have.

    i just need to mention that many people are fascinated by inverteds, which can produce it's own set of nuisances. i've also noticed that they have a tendency to get bigger that regular nips when stimulated. (i've fitted MANY women for bras, things just happen). just go with it. there's nothing wrong with them. though if you do want them out all the time, piercing would work.

    I had never heard of them before I met my fiancee, she has them. I get them to come out and play. They are great, beautiful even.
