Think your boobs are weird? They’re probably not
Boobs come in all shapes and sizes and that’s totally normal
Your boobs are actually pretty complex and you may have a bunch of questions. So here’s Fumble’s guide to everything you need to know about them.
Different sizes
Most people have one tit bigger than the other. And no amount of exercise, drugs, or dieting will change that. So learn to love your asymmetrical boobs.
Stretch marks
Again, totally normal. It’s your body showing it’s growing and changing. Over time they may fade, but they’re not going anywhere so embrace them.
Saggy boobs
The media mostly just shows perky boobs. In reality, everyone’s breasts are different. Perky or saggy, you’re totally fabulous.
Triple nipple
Some people have three nipples. They’re often small and appear on the chest, but they can be anywhere on the body. Nothing to worry about – it’s just another nipple.
Inverted nipples
Your nipples may point outwards, be flat, or they may point inwards. No drama. However they usually appear for you is totally normal.
Boobs change
Like other parts of your body, your boobs grow and change over time. They may get smaller or bigger. No need to be alarmed.
Hairy nipples
Body hair is everywhere. Yes, even on your nipples and areola (darker circle around your nipple). There may be a few strands or a whole bunch. If they make you uncomfortable, you can pluck them. But you don’t have to. Do what feels right for you.
Nipples: shade and size
Nipples and areola are all shades and sizes. You may have small nipples or large nipples. Your areola may be a big or small circle. Some women’s nipples and areola are pink, others are brown or other various shades. Each nipple/areola may be a different size or shape. Your body is completely normal.
Areola bumps
If you closely examine your breasts, you will see tiny bumps on the areola (circle surrounding your nipples). They may look like spots, but they’re just glands. Don’t squeeze them! They won’t go away.
Painful boobs
You might notice your boobs are a little sore close to your period or during puberty. Some contraception methods may make your breasts sensitive too. Don’t worry, the pain will disappear after your period. Take it easy and don’t be hard on yourself.
Nipple stimulation
Did you know that some people can orgasm with nipple stimulation alone? This is when your nipples are rubbed, sucked, or bitten. Kinda cool, right?
The most important thing to remember is that your boobs are fabulous, sexy, and totally normal. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
