Nipple size: do they grow?
 

Hey all. I've been going out with my girlfriend for a little over a year now, and a few nights ago when I was fondling her, she told me how she thinks her nipples have grown since we started going out. I was thinking about it, past memories and all, and it does seem like they've grown. Is that possible? Is it because we've been having sex for 6 months now? Under what circumstances does a girls nipples grow?

All just out of curiosity, mixing my scientific side with my sexual :)

How old is she? She may just not be through growing yet.

18 and in college, as am I. Although it may be of note that she's never had a boyfriend before me.

Well I dont think that you being her first boyfriend is going to have any affect on her nipple size :p

She's probably just not finished growing... If she notices any soreness she should see her doctor though just to be sure.

Only when they get cold. Ah, memories.

Seriously, though, I agree with Averett.

Not to freak you out, but they get bigger during pregnancy :eek:

Breasts get bigger, I'm not so sure nipples do.

i assure you, they do. the areolaes get huge and the nips tend to stick out a bit more.

And they get raised bumps in the areolaes (which are braille for "lick here").

My wife (B cup) was a D when she was pregnant, and she got those same raised bumps and larger areolas.

Yep, they grow as you get older, as they get a little bigger, as gravity takes over, when you get pregnant, etc... just another normal body change. Nothing to get excited about, or then again ;)

they may still be forming, but really they usually don't grow anymore until pregnancy. Hope I don't scare you with that tidbit......

She's not necessarily done growing at 18. Probably either:

a) A figment of her imagination, or
2) Nothing to worry about.

That really made me laugh!:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
That is really funny

I third the "HAHAHAHAH" awesome... reminds me of an old baaaaad pickup line

Guy to Girl with writing on her shirt "Hey, can i read your shirt... oh wait a second, i only read braille..."

Lame i know, but it did remind me of that

I've noticed it before, a friend told me that the more you play with something the bigger it will get, don't think it has any scientific basing, because if it did my ex-gf would be double D's and I'd be a porn star... here's to hoping!!

That is funny shit man!

LOL, that was classic!

But seriously, during pregencey when women's breast get enlarged, do the nipple stretch as a result?

Forgive me but the whole concept of pregencey is rather different to me...

I'm sure nobody is intrested, and I kinda like "braille for lick here"...but the bumps on areolaes are oil glands.

Another thing: ift he aeriolas (the darker skin around the nipples) get larger she has to see a doctor.

IIRC it might be a symptom of Breast Cancer.

The Phenomenon,

...unless she's pregnant

Pregnancy, and the ensuing lactation/breastfeeding has a very definite impact on the size and shape of the breasts, areolas, and nipples.

Give her the HANGER test...
See how meny wire cloth hangers can hang off her nipple.
The SO can hang 4 on a cold morning..

hahah I actually did that to my wife....she can hold about 3 wire hangers lol

:lol: that's freakin funny you guys. I am going to have to do that "test" now. I bet I can only hold 1 though.

This thread interests me because we were just talking about the bumpy areola thing the other day and I was wondering: Is that permanent? Do the bumps go away after you have the kid?

Not with my partner, she has had the 'braille bumps' for 10 years...

No big deal - does not concern me.

Yes they do get bigger, and it is because she is still growing

I also read somewhere that if certain tissues are stimiulated quite often, it can incite cell growth, and breasts are one of those areas. Since nipples are quite stimulated during fondling, it wouldn't surprise me if they have grown. I'm sure that there is a limit to how much they can grow, just like most body tissues.

hmm.......my gf is still 17 in age n she got big nipples , aerolas......its bcoz she might hav got pregnant somewhat before ???? or smthing else could b d reason ??

Some girls just have big nipples, man...

There are so many different things that could be going on. Everyone goes threw growth differently. That's probably what is going on. But during all three of my pregnancies my nipples got a lot bigger and more sensitive. So the only real way to make sure its not pregnancy or something more serious she needs to see a doctor.

My nipples got huge when I was pregnant and nursing. But they seem to have gone back to normal size since.

this is an ooold thread heh. But I'd like to say that, after a certain age, it's not so much growth as stretching, due to weight gain in the breast area, or for pregnant women, enlarging of the breasts through milk production.

Weight gain/loss and hormonal changes can definitely change the size of her nipples.
