Why Some Women Have Hairy Nipples And What It Means
By Christine-Marie Liwag Dixon / Updated: Jan. 3, 2020 12:23 pm EDT
Hair in the chest area, especially around the nipples, is something that we tend to associate with men , but women can get hair there, too. In fact, hair around the nipples is not uncommon in women. Why do some women have hairy nipples? Is it a sign that there is something wrong?
Nipple hair is actually totally normal, and it's not something that you typically need to worry about. It's completely useless, of course, but a long, long time ago our hairy-nippled ancestresses may have benefited from it. "Once upon a time, they may have conferred some evolutionary advantage to perform tasks such as to lubricate the skin surface and secrete pheromones," Dr. Marc Everett told Cosmopolitan .
Nipple hairs are more likely to grow around the areola (the skin around your nipple) than on the nipple itself. This is because your areolas have glands called Montgomery glands that secrete a material that keeps the skin around your nipples moist, which keeps them healthy for breastfeeding . These Mongtomery glands sometimes produce hair.
While hairy nipples are common and aren't a cause for medical concern, you might want to visit your doctor if you see a sudden increase in the amount of hair around your nipples, or if you see hair also starting to grow in other typically "masculine" places such as your upper lip or chin. This hair growth could be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
In all likelihood, though, your nipple hair is just, well, hair, and you shouldn't give it a second thought. If it makes you uncomfortable, you can always remove it. Everett recommends cutting your nipple hair with scissors, waxing, or using tweezers. Whatever you do, though, never ever shave hairy nipples as this could "lead to skin infections, infections of the follicle, and inadvertent injury to the irregularly bumpy skin of the areola."

"OMG! I'm a
hairy beast. Am I a man in disguise?"
Body hair is found all over our bodies.
Males tend to have more body hair than
females, but hormonal conditions can cause
one person to have more hair than another
person. Our society tends to think of women
as having less body hair, except for on
their head, underarms, and their pubic region, so when
it shows up anywhere else, they tend to find
it objectionable.
When a woman finds hair
growing near her nipple she becomes
concerned, because she does not see other
women with hair there. That is mostly
because most women remove it before anyone
sees it, or before they have their image
taken. It is not that unusual for a woman to
have breast or nipple hair. In some cases,
there is hair there but it is so light in
color that it just does not show up.
I was asked to post some
images of breasts that had nipple hair,
because a couple were concerned about the
woman having some. But because most women
remove the hair as soon as they see it, very
few images are found of breasts with nipple
hair showing. If you are interested in
allowing us to post a similar image of you,
showing that 'normal' ladies actually do
have nipple hair, it would be very much
appreciated by everyone.
These examples are shown as a guide so that
everyone might better understand that they
are indeed "normal".
In this image, you can see the
nipple hair at the lower edge of the areola. It is
so light in color and so thin and delicate that
without this magnification, it would go unnoticed.
If this lady had hair that was darker or more
coarse, that nipple hair would be more obvious.
In this image, a darker
nipple hair can be seen to the right of the
nipple, and several hairs can be seen to the
left of the nipple. These are still rather fine,
but can be seen more clearly .
Darker pigmentation in the
areola and nipple often will show up in the hair
as well. In this image we can see the hair that
everyone has, but it is darker so it is more
clearly visible.
These hairs are becoming
more obvious. It is a real temptation to remove
them, although they cause no problems if they
remain. It is usually an appearance issue if
someone wishes to remove them.

It’s not controversial to say that boobs are really, really great. The biological function of breasts work to keep babies fed , of course, but somewhere along the way, boobs have become so much more. For better or for worse, our boobs are a part of us — and we’re not afraid to wear our love for them on our sleeve (or, rather, or chest).
Maybe you’re thinking that breasts are breasts are breasts. They’re round(ish), stuck to the front of our bodies and pretty darn useful for a variety of life skills. Well, you’re not wrong when it comes to like the day-to-day realities of having boobs on your body . But you’d be a little inaccurate according to lingerie company ThirdLove, at least when it comes to their shape. They’ve identified seven breast shapes : round, east west, side set, tear drop, slender, asymmetric and bell shape.
Along with your size, each shape supposedly dictates the type of bra you should wear. As if bra fitting isn’t confusing enough already?!
But then I got to thinking: Why stop at just seven shapes? My boobs have been way more than seven shapes during my lifetime. They’re like the ultimate shape-shifters — and according to my girlfriends, their mammaries are pretty magical too. So in honor of all the things our breasts go through for us, here are 21 real breast shapes and what it’s like to have ’em.
Painful, tender and sore are the trifecta of boobness for every girl whose breasts go through a monthly cycle just like her vagina. If I’ve learned one thing in my life, it’s that hormones can do a real number on your chest. The other telltale sign of PMS breasts: cookie crumbs or ice-cream drips in your cleavage. It’s cool; you’re just storing them for later.
The No. 1 way I knew I was pregnant was sore breasts. From the moment the stick turned pink, my boobs took on a life of their own and grew to a size and shape I’d never known they were capable of before. Although I missed the ease of my tiny pre-pregnancy boobies, I did enjoy having cleavage for the first time in my life. As long as no one touched them.
Nursing breasts are a force to be reckoned with. Their ability to sustain a whole human life never ceases to amaze me. But if you thought pregnancy boobs were weird, then nursing is like having your breasts possessed by aliens. Not only are they filled — bursting — with liquid, but said liquid also randomly squirts out at the most inopportune times. Also, veins like whoa.
Once the milk is gone, your glorious, functional nursing boobs become sad, deflated balloons. That is if balloons had random chunks of sand in them. Some women keep their larger pregnancy breasts, but others end up smaller than they started. Either way, it’s hard not to want to hug them for all the tireless service they provided. Even if they do now look like rocks in socks.
Running 26.2 miles is not easy on your body. And your ta-tas take almost the same amount of abuse as your tootsies. Thanks to miles of bouncing, cleavage sweat and chafing sports bras, by the time you’re done, all they’ll want to do is snuggle in pajamas. Your legs will like that option, too.
It’s totally true that you can’t make your boobs bigger through weightlifting. (Believe me, I’ve tried.) But you can strengthen the pectoral muscles underneath, which can lift those puppies back up to perkier form! Be careful, though. If you drop too much body fat, then you’ll lose your boobs altogether. Which brings me to…
Two words: melting candle. Losing weight is a huge accomplishment, but for many women, the way they lose weight may feel a little fraught, especially if they are one of the many who lose fat from their breasts first. Post-weight-loss breasts can look less full and even have loose skin. But before you despair, recognize that your boobs are just evidence of your hard work and dedication, and they’ve been with you every step of the way.
Gaining weight, whether through puberty, pregnancy or just life, can really boost your bust. Every woman gains weight differently, but often gaining a few pounds on the scale gives you a few more curves up top.
Faces, hands and waistlines often get the most attention as women age, but getting older can mean big changes for breasts as well. Not only do they sag and wrinkle, but also they can show age spots. And although it’s perfectly OK to miss your breasts in their glory days, try to see your aging girls as more evidence of a life well lived!
Every breast cancer survivor is different, and so are their feelings about their breasts. But one thing is for sure: You’ll never look at your breasts the same way again. Whether you have scars from a lumpectomy or a mastectomy or your skin has changed from chemotherapy or your medications have made them change size, it means developing a whole new relationship — not a worse one, just a different one.
Not every woman with breast cancer will need a mastectomy (and not every woman who gets a mastectomy has cancer), but for those who do, it can be life changing. Some women worry that not having their breasts, or not having breasts at all, will make them somehow less feminine. Yet others feel liberated from the fear and the disease. Some women celebrate their battle scars with tattoos while others use reconstructive surgery to get the boobs of their dreams. Just know that however you change your breasts, and however they change you, is the right way.
Babies, children, lovers and even friends seek solace in a woman’s chest. And breasts can be so, so comforting. It’s hard to talk about without the conversation veering to the sexual, but women have been using a tight hug, a cuddle and a soft embrace as a way to help soothe those they love for as long as there have been women. There’s nothing wrong — and I’d say everything right — with using your pillows as, well, a pillow.
Some women are naturally blessed with a perfect bust while others chose to pay for theirs. And when it comes to your body, there is no wrong path to self-love.
Girls get made fun of for wearing padded bras, but the truth is they’re an awesome compromise. You can put one on to look sexy or simply more proportional in clothing, and then you get to take it off and be free at night. Plus, no back pain like you’d get if your boobs were naturally larger or surgically enhanced. Best of both worlds!
Squashing boobs down to exercise, to fit in a button-down shirt or to play a boy in the musical Oliver ! (just me?) is a time-honored tradition. Sometimes you want to flaunt what you’ve got, and other times it helps to make them as flat as possible. As long as you can still breathe, you’re probably fine.
Nothing like wearing a gray T-shirt in the summertime and seeing two damp circles spreading under… your breasts. Boobs, especially when you smash them together in a sports bra or a push-up bra, can generate an astonishing amount of sweat.
They don’t all look like this — the way they move or the way they react — but they are a thing. And as porn becomes mainstream, more and more women (or their partners) think there’s something wrong if their ta-tas don’t match up with the ones on the screen. But know this: Your boobs are great exactly the way they are. Anyone who gets to touch them should consider themselves darn lucky. Period.
Have you ever looked at a statue of the Venus de Milo and wondered how she was the standard of beauty for so many centuries? Thanks to our modern technology such as shaping bras, Photoshop and the Internet, I think we sometimes forget what real breasts, just hanging out and doing their thing, really look like. And if it takes a stone set of knockers to teach us about our flesh-and-blood set, then we should all look at more art. (Actually, we should all just look at more art.)
Yep, hairy nipples exist, and they’re not even weird. About one-third of women admits to having a few nip pubes (and who knows how many have them and don’t admit it).
I put this at the bottom of the list because we’re already well aware that our breasts are more than just sex objects. But it is also true that sex can make your boobs look, well, sexy. All the blood and hormones can help them temporarily perk up, become more sensitive and even enhance their coloring. This may be one of the best perks of having breasts!
