You probably know that breasts come in all different sizes and colors , but did you know the same goes for nipples? Actually, there are eight different kinds of nipples, says Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, M.D. , a board-certified dermatologist and pediatrician. All of them are normal, and it's certainly possible to have a combination of two or more types (like protruding and bumpy or flat and hairy). And maybe, your nipples don't exactly fit into any of these categories. That's cool too! All nipples are normal, no matter how big, small, flat, or hairy they may be. Read on to learn more about what kind of nipples you have.
First, though, some definitions. You most likely have heard the terms nipple and areola, but there's a chance you don't know exactly what they mean. The two of them together make up what you might refer to as your nipple. The areola is the pigmented round area on your breast, while the nipple is the actual projection. Got it? OK, now let's dive in.
Protruding: This refers to nipples that are raised a few millimeters above the surface of the areola and point outwards. The nipple can harden and become more pronounced when cold or stimulated.
Flat: The entire nipple is flat and blends into the areola. The nipple can harden and become more pronounced when cold or stimulated.
Puffy: The entire areola and nipple area looks like a small, raised mound on top of the breast. The nipple can harden and become more pronounced when cold or stimulated.
Inverted: The nipple retracts inwards. Sometimes, you can use your fingers to bring it out, but sometimes, the muscles are too tight.
Unilateral inverted: One nipple is raised, the other is inverted. If this has always been the case, it's perfectly safe. If this is a new development, it might be a sign of breast cancer, so see your doctor immediately.
Bumpy: It's common to have bumps on the areola surrounding the nipple. These bumps are called Montgomery glands and can sometimes look like whiteheads. Sometimes, you might be able to squeeze dead skin cells out of them, but don't play with them. Every woman has the glands, but some people are bumpier than others.
Hairy: Stray, dark hairs growing out of the areola area are normal. They might be fine or coarse. It's safe to pluck them out with a tweezer. Every woman has hair follicles, but some people are hairier than others.
Supernumerary: Some people (like Harry Styles!) have extra, smaller nipples. They either look like flat moles or have a fully-formed, raised bump.

A new fashion accessory allows women to free the nipple without removing their clothes.
New Yorker Molly Borman said her stick-on pasties accentuate the appearance of nipples while also empowering women.
“I want women to feel good in their skin, comfortable with their bodies, super-empowered when they wear this product,” the Just Nips founder told The Post.
The nipples — which come in sizes “cold” and “freezing” — sell on Borman’s website Justnipsforall.com for $9.99.
“Before this I worked at Ralph Lauren for five years, and I know what it takes to cut through a cable knit sweater,” she quipped. “Our ‘freezing’ product does just that.”
Borman said the product has “exploded” thanks to female empowerment. She said she sold out of Just Nips before the Women’s March on Washington and again on Valentine’s Day.
“My typical customer is a professional woman, 20s and 30s, women who are proud of who they are, comfortable in their bodies and want to experiment,” she said.
She said she hopes that women who wear her product feel fun, feminine and sexy, as well as informed about their personal breast health.
She is currently partnering with a cancer charity so that she can get breast self-exam instructions printed on the inside of her packaging.
“You’re touching your breasts anyway when you put Just Nips on, so I want to spread breast cancer awareness and teach women how to examine themselves safely and properly while they’re at it,” she told Refinery29 this week.
Borman’s mom is supportive of her business message — but isn’t ready to try a pair.
“I had to sit my mom down and say this is happening. She says it’s not her look at all and that’s OK,” Borman said. “She said if I ever make T-shirts, she will wear the T-shirt.”
