As <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/04/26/big-boobs-breasts-bra-clothes/" target="_blank">I&#8217;ve said before</a>, I know this from experience. My boobs aren&#8217;t huge, but even as a 36D, I know that finding a bathing suit that doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s going to reveal my girls at any minute is hard. Also,<strong> it&#8217;s expensive!</strong> I&#8217;m super jealous of my friends who can run into Target and come out 10 minutes later with a $30 bikini. I have to <strong>order mine</strong> online and spend a good amount of money on them.</p><p>And for sizes larger than a D or DD, it&#8217;s <strong>even more difficult.</strong> Most of the bathing suits for large breasts tend to look like bras or are really boring. But don&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re doomed if you have <strong>big boobs</strong> &#8211; there are suits out there that are comfortable! I&#8217;ve rounded up some of the best bathing suits for girls with big boobs. Yeah, they&#8217;re a little <strong>pricey</strong>, but sometimes feeling comfy and happy with how you look at the beach is worth the money! Check &#8216;em out and report back to us if you try them out.</p><div

id="description_4"><h2>Cleo by Panache: Pippa UW Balconnet Bikini</h2>I'm in love with this suit. I think everything about it is awesome - the pattern, the cut, the the color, everything! In case you can't see, there's a sailboat pattern! This offers great support, while also keeping you from spilling out.<p></p> <a

id="description_6"><h2>Panache: Silhouette Shaping UW Swimsuit</h2>Not into two-piece bathing suits? This black suit from Panache should be your number one choice. It's very figure-flattering while still giving you great support. Sometimes a black suit can be a girl's best friend!<p></P> <a

id="description_8"><h2>Victoria's Secret The Gorgeous Swim Collection: Push-Up Bandeau Top</h2>Finding a bathing suit that fits a large bust is hard enough, but finding a strapless? Ugh. I hate tan lines, so I've always been searching for the perfect strapless and I have to say, I love this one. It doesn't go up very high in size, but for my size, I think it gives great support. It doesn't turn my boobs into one huge uni-boob and it also lifts them up - because sometimes, bigger breasts tend to sag, you know?<P></p> <a

id="description_12"><h2>Midnight Grace By Figleaves.Com: Heidi Underwired Halter Swimsuit</h2>My favorite part about this one-piece bathing suit is that the strap can be taken off. So, maybe you want to wear it when you're walking around for more support - but when you lay down, you can take it off so you don't get any tan lines! With the underwire inside, you can't go wrong.<P></P> <a

id="description_13"><h2>Panache: Lola Bikini Swimwear Top</h2>My sister owns this bathing suit, so I can vouch for how great it looks in person. The charm embellishments make what could be a boring suit a lot more fun. The plunge also isn't too deep, so you show off a little without feeling like you're going to fall out.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.herroom.com/panache-sw0721-lola-bikini-swim-top.shtml">Available up to size 38G from HerRoom.com</a></span><span
id="description_14"><h2>Cleo by Panache: Lucille Bandeau Swimwear Top</h2>I'm obsessed with this bathing suit. It has a lot of support, is well-lined, gives you support for side-boob and just looks really adorable.<p></p> <a

id="description_0"><h2>Headaches</h2>Believe it or not, an ill-fitting bra can cause some seriously annoying headaches. If your bra is too tight, it causes tension on your shoulders, neck and back and that in turn can cause headaches.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-67103074/stock-photo-bored-unhappy-young-black-business-woman-at-desk-in-office.html?src=csl_recent_image-4">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_1"><h2>You Can Stretch Your Boobs Out</h2>According to <a
href="http://jezebel.com/5029123/wearing-the-wrong-bra-can-damage-breasts-+-so-what">British research</a>, a bra that is the wrong size can cause the ligaments to stretch, which can ultimately result in saggy boobs. Make sure your girls are getting enough support!<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-97895282/stock-photo-young-beautiful-blonde-woman-holding-her-big-sexy-wet-breast.html?src=csl_recent_image-5">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_2"><h2>Back Pain</h2>If your bra is too big, that means that you're not getting enough support. And if you're not getting enough support, your boobs (especially if they're large) are going to start giving you back pain.<P></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-106904186/stock-photo-back-pain-athlete-sportswoman-backache-and-injury-female-young-runner-with-sports-muscle-injury.html?src=csl_recent_image-3">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_3"><h2>Too-Tight Straps</h2>If your bra is too big, you'll probably start tightening the straps so that your boobs get lifted up more. All this does is create ugly red marks in your shoulder that don't need to be there.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-108952346/stock-photo-young-woman-with-pain-in-her-shoulder.html?src=csl_recent_image-10">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_4"><h2>Your Boobs Bulge Out</h2>You know when your bra is too tight and your boobs start to bulge out and it looks really terrible and annoying? Yeah. Hate that.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-83999278/stock-photo-chest-of-girl-in-black-bra.html?src=csl_recent_image-12">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_5"><h2>Back Bulge</h2>If your bra is too tight, the back strap is going to be tight, which is going to cause some nice annoying bulge back there. If it's too loose, you're probably going to try to fix that by tightening in the straps. That means your bra strap rides up your back until it's seriously uncomfortable. Either way, you lose.<P></p> <a

id="description_6"><h2>Indigestion</h2>I know this sounds weird, but it's true - the wrong size bra can cause stomach pain and indigestion. If the bra is too tight, it will dig into your ribs and upper stomach area, causing problems inside your body that you don't even realize.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-113102911/stock-photo-woman-with-menstrual-problem-very-sick.html?src=csl_recent_image-1">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_7"><h2>Bra Gaps</h2>Gaps in between your bra and your boobs mean that your cup size is too big. This is more annoying than anything else and it just looks weird.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-92708332/stock-photo-pretty-young-woman-stuffing-bra-with-tissue-to-enhance-breast-size.html?src=csl_recent_image-6">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_8"><h2>Shoulder Pain</h2>Remember how I said your straps being too tight result in red marks? Well, they also result in shoulder pain. It's so uncomfortable and so not worth it.<p></p> <a
href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-130488704/stock-photo-beautiful-brunette-is-having-a-pain-in-her-shoulder.html?src=csl_recent_image-2">Source: ShutterStock</a></span><span
id="description_9"><h2>Rib/Stomach Bulge</h2>Again, a bra that's too tight only results in bulges. If the band is too tight, it's going to dig into your ribs and make your skin bulge out. Not comfortable and not fun.<P></p> <a

href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/04/26/big-boobs-breasts-bra-clothes/" target="_blank">the blessing</a> that the media fools people into believing they are. Washington state teenager Britanny Minder knows this intimately, because her breasts kept her out of <strong>prom</strong>.</p><p>Minder found her dream dress, a <strong>strapless</strong> purple number designed for larger busts, only to be <strong>denied entry</strong> to her prom because of her visible <strong>cleavage</strong>.</p><p>According to the school&#8217;s <strong>dress code</strong>, strapless dresses are allowed as long as cleavage, midriff, and lower back were covered. Minder and her family don&#8217;t have a problem with the <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/04/24/school-dress-code-strapless-dresses/" target="_blank">dress code</a>, but they feel as if Minder was treated unfairly due to her <strong>physique</strong>. Minder <a
href="www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2013/06/04/dnt-wa-breasts-too-big-for-prom.komo.html" target="_blank">told CNN</a> that, due to her large breasts, she has little control over her ample cleavage. She was forced to wear a shawl before entering the prom, but only stayed for an hour due to how<strong> self-conscious</strong> she felt about the ordeal.</p><p>&#8220;An important night of in life was <strong>ruined</strong>,&#8221; said Minder. &#8220;And there&#8217;s no way I can gain that experience back.&#8221;</p><p>I know what some of you are thinking: She didn&#8217;t <em>have </em>to wear a strapless dress. She <em>must have known </em>that she was going against the dress code. <em>Maybe </em>she could have worn a dress that<strong> covered her cleavage.</strong><em><br
/> </em></p><div

class="wp-caption-text">KOKO TV</p></div><p>And <strong>you&#8217;re right</strong>, she could have worn a different dress, she likely knew that the school code forbade cleavage, and she didn&#8217;t have to wear a strapless dress. As a woman with a large bust, I avoid anything strapless because I know that it doesn&#8217;t exactly agree with my chest. So, okay, I understand the <strong>criticisms</strong> thrown at Minder&#8217;s decision.</p><p>However, I think that this debacle presents a much bigger discussion. Cleavage is generally believed to be <strong>deliberately arousing</strong>, but some of us with larger breasts really can&#8217;t help how much we fill out a dress. Sure, we can wear something more conservative, but it is ridiculous that we have to always defer to more safe style options because something we can&#8217;t control is considered <strong>inherently sexual</strong>. For large breasted women, unless we&#8217;re going to start wearing turtle necks and straight jackets to every formal event, dresses are usually going to show at least a little cleavage. But our cleavage is never seen as<strong> tasteful</strong> or <strong>natural</strong>; it is always seen as a deliberate tool of teasing and enticement.</p><p><strong>Newsflash:</strong> People with large breasts aren&#8217;t always using their cleavage as a <strong>bat signal for sexy thoughts</strong>. It just <em>happens</em>, it&#8217;s just <em>there</em>, it just <em>is.</em> Women with large breasts shouldn&#8217;t always have to worry about being a living, breathing offense to puritanical sensibility.</p><p>This is why so many women and girls feel so <strong>ashamed</strong> and self conscious about their large breasts: They&#8217;re socialized to feel the brunt and the blame of other people&#8217;s <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/03/07/sexist-men-big-boobs/" target="_blank">sexual objectification</a> of their bodies. Whether it&#8217;s disgusting men <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/05/09/prevent-street-harassment/" target="_blank">slobbering over them in public</a>, or walking the hallways of a school, we&#8217;re treated as if we&#8217;re walking distractions, living and breathing <strong>violations</strong> of dress codes and morality.</p><p>But our breasts are not simply objects of <strong>desire</strong>, and until whoever makes these ridiculous school dress codes figures that out, this won&#8217;t be the last time that a young woman&#8217;s body is treated as if it is inherently inappropriate.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Do you think the school was right to turn Britanny Minder away from her prom?

Jubblies. Dirty Pillows. Whatever you want to call &#8216;em, you have an opinion on yours, whether you wear an A cup or a G cup. Maybe they&#8217;re already a little <strong>saggy</strong> or maybe they stick out like laser beams; either way you probably poke and prod them pretty regularly.</p><p>Boobs are like a never-ending science project and we mark their progress over the years in a mental notebook while wearing a smile or a frown. I know that I&#8217;ve had my fair share of <strong>boob angst</strong> (let&#8217;s just say mine aren&#8217;t small, at all, whatsoever&#8230;okay they&#8217;re pretty damn large), and it can be a real pain buying clothes that fit them. But in the long run it doesn&#8217;t really matter if we<strong> love them or hate them</strong> because chances are they&#8217;re going to stay with us for the long haul whether we like it or not. We just gotta deal&#8230;unless you have the money for a boob job <em>but that&#8217;s not the point</em>.</p><p>Lately we&#8217;ve talked about <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/04/26/big-boobs-breasts-bra-clothes/#1" target="_blank">the woes of having big boobs</a> and found out <a

href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/01/29/i-have-small-breasts/" target="_blank">smaller boobs</a>? I think it&#8217;s safe to say that we&#8217;re all pretty curious to know exactly what it is about boobs (which are really just pockets of <em>fat</em>) that drive some men crazy.</p><p>But can there ever really be a <strong>clear answer</strong> to the question of why some men like bigger boobs? After all, isn&#8217;t everyone attracted to different things? Is it really true that certain groups of people are attracted to certain things? Basically, is there really <strong>a science behind physical attraction?</strong> According to a few different studies, yes &#8211; <a
href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/head-games/201305/what-is-it-about-men-and-breast-size" target="_blank">Psychology Today</a> recently posted an article about why certain men like <strong>bigger breasts</strong> and the results are kind of surprising.</p><p>So, why are some dudes really into D-cups while some dudes dig A-cups? According to one study, men who<strong> don&#8217;t have a lot of money</strong> are more into big boobs while men who are more financially secure like<strong> smaller boobs</strong>.  Doesn&#8217;t it sound crazy that the amount of money you have could influence what size breasts you like? Um, yeah, it does.</p><p>But apparently, one view on female breast size is that it acts as &#8220;a signal of fat reserves, which in turn advertises access to resources.&#8221; Psychologists tested out this idea by asking men from different socioeconomic backgrounds what size breasts they found more attractive. Sure enough,<strong> the idea seemed to be true</strong> &#8211; the men with less material goods liked <a
href="http://www.gurl.com/2013/03/07/sexist-men-big-boobs/" target="_blank">bigger breasts</a> more. Why? It sounds like they associate large breasts with more money and resources. Since poorer men are most likely striving for more money, it would make sense that they would like something that <strong>symbolizes more money</strong>. How do breasts symbolize &#8220;more resources?&#8221; Honestly, I couldn&#8217;t tell you.</p><p>The next study found that guys who were <strong>hungry</strong> were more like to find big boobs more desirable, while guys who were not hungry were more into small boobs. Completely random, right? Apparently this study was based on the evolutionary perspective that breasts are a sign of a woman&#8217;s ability to <strong>have and take care of kids</strong>. To tell you the truth, I&#8217;m still pretty confused as to how that relates to being hungry or not hungry, but <strong>okay</strong>. I&#8217;ll go with it.</p><p>Lastly, researchers tested out this theory even more and discovered that guys who <strong>really want to be fathers</strong> at some point like bigger breasts, while guys who don&#8217;t really want to be dads liked smaller breasts. So, it looks like that <strong>evolutionary theory</strong> about boobs rings true &#8211; it seems that some men do associate larger breasts with a woman&#8217;s ability to be a good mom.</p><p>So,<strong> to recap:</strong> guys who like <strong>big breasts</strong> generally do not have a lot of money, want to be fathers one day and are hungry. Men who like small breasts have a good amount of money, don&#8217;t want to be a dad and are not hungry.</p><p>Does this sound completely <strong>ridiculous</strong> to anyone else except me? While I sort of get the science behind each of these ideas, at the same time, I&#8217;m having a hard time believing these results. And that&#8217;s not only because these studies were pretty small (the dad one only looked at 67 men), but also because it just sounds <strong>silly</strong> to me. How does hungry and money affect what kind of boobs you like? More importantly, <em>why</em> do we need to know why some dudes like big boobs? Maybe some guys just like the way they feel! Maybe it <strong>depends on the girl.</strong> I don&#8217;t know, I just think there are a lot of other factors to consider.</p><p>That being said, these findings were pretty <strong>interesting</strong>. And so, I want to know what you think about them: do they sound legit or ridic?</p><p><strong>What do you think about these studies? Would you take them seriously? Why do you think some guys like big boobs? Do you care about the reason? <a

But I have to be honest with you guys &#8211; sometimes, having larger breasts is <strong>so. Freakin&#8217;.

There are certain items of clothing I wish I could wear, but I can&#8217;t because they just don&#8217;t fit my breasts right. I have never given up hope on some things (I refuse to stop looking until I find the perfect strapless <strong>bikini</strong>), but honestly, most of the time these things are just a <strong>major fail</strong> on my body.</p><p>Here are <strong>10 things that kind of suck because of my boobs.</strong> I&#8217;m sure many of you can relate.

id="description_0"><h2>Button-Down Shirts</h2>I think I have been on a never-ending quest to find the perfect button-down shirt since I was born. I'M NOT BEING DRAMATIC. I love, love, love the look of any button-down, but unfortunately, I have yet to find one that doesn't pop open in the middle of a group of strangers to reveal my bra. That happens if I can even manage to button it up to begin with - usually I have to wear a tank underneath, which is like, <em>ugh.</em><p></p> <a

id="description_1"><h2>Loose Crop Tops</h2>I see these kind of loose crop tops everywhere in New York during the summer. They're so fun and carefree and light and I want one. So I forgot the lessons I've learned in the past about baggy shirts and big boobs and bought one. The tank either slides down to show off my whole bra or slides over to show off major side boob or rides up so much you can see my stomach. No thanks. Dreams over.<p></p> <a

id="description_2"><h2>Elastic Waist Shirts or Dresses</h2>Elastic waists are the bane of my existence. I think they were made solely to make me feel bad about myself (JK, JK, I'm not so self-absorbed). My boobs fill out too much of the top and the whole thing just ends up looking weird and lopsided or kind of giving me a pregnant vibe and it's like... pregnancy is cool and all, but I'm not pregnant. So...<p></p> <a

id="description_3"><h2>Bathing Suits</h2>You know how you can run over to Target and buy a super cute bikini for, like, $30? That must be nice. I don't know what that feels like. I only order my bathing suits from Victoria's Secret so that I can get them in bra sizes - and even then, the tops usually don't always fit right. There's a lot of squishing and pushing and under-boob and side-boob action happening no matter what. I mean, can't a girl just be comfortable on the beach?!<p></p> <a

id="description_4"><h2>Sports Bras</h2>Any fellow large-chested woman will agree with me - sports bras are the worst. I've spent one too many workouts squishing my boobs into two different sports bras just so they don't painfully move around while I exercise... because that HURTS. It's so hard to find a good sports bra. Some of them squish you way too much (that's not support, it's just squishing) and some of them claim they're supportive, but... they're not. It's a lie. Personally, I enjoy <a

id="description_5"><h2>Strapless Anything</h2>I once heard someone say she envied girls with large breasts because we could pull of strapless things better. LOL NO. Strapless things, whether it's a bra or a dress or a top, make me miserable and I wish I were kidding. How do I explain a night full of constantly pulling up your shirt/dress/bra and wondering whether or not your boobs have turned into one giant long boob? Annoying. Terrible. Uncomfortable.<p></p> <a

id="description_6"><h2>Long Necklaces</h2>Oh, check out how cute this look is. Wish I could wear it. Except I can't, because whenever I try to pull off a long necklace, it either gets stuck between my boobs and looks ridiculous or it just hangs two inches off my waist and bops around all day. No, thanks.<p></p> <a

id="description_7"><h2>Backless Anything, Or A Low Back</h2>I adore backless dresses. They're so sexy and sophisticated. Too bad I'll never be able to pull one off because I have to wear some sort of supportive bra and supportive means a thick band. Major, major sad face. Low backs are almost as frustrating - no one likes to see your bra hanging out of your shirt.<p></p> <a

id="description_8"><h2>Spaghetti Strap Shirts</h2>These little tanks are so cute and simple and I love spaghetti straps for the summer. Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to pull them off. Remember those supportive bras I was just talking about? Yeah, they usually involve thick straps that are completely visible under a spaghetti strap. And that kind of ruins things.<p></p> <a

id="description_9"><h2>Cute And Cheap Bras</h2>I used to work at Victoria's Secret and I spent a lot of my time there admiring the adorable and cheap PINK bras that came in all sorts of fun colors. Just admiring, though, because wearing a cheap bra like this is like wearing no bra at all. There's just no support there. Do you know how much my bank account wishes I could spend $30 on a bra rather than $60? Do you?!<p></p> <a

But um, there&#8217;s a new tattoo trend that&#8217;s pretty baffling: <strong>nipple tattoos</strong>. We&#8217;re talking about tattoos <em>of</em> nipples &#8230; on your nipples.</p><p>The trend, adorably (or grossly) called &#8220;<a
href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2310484/The-rise-Tittooing-Women-desperate-perfect-nipples-are-having-TATTOOED-on.html" target="_blank">tittooing</a>,&#8221; is for women who want &#8220;darker, more defined&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>perfect nipples</strong>.&#8221; Which is weird, because ask anyone&#8211;especially a guy&#8211;and they&#8217;ll tell you, pretty much all nipples are perfect, joyous and wonderful things to behold.</p><p>Here&#8217;s when nipple tattoos make a little bit of sense: They were originally designed for women who underwent <strong>mastectomies</strong> for <strong>breast cancer</strong>. <em>That</em> I can get behind. But for the rest of us? Dude, WTF?</p><p>Aside from the <strong>pain</strong> involved&#8211;these things do <em>not</em> tickle&#8211;nipple tattoos<strong> aren&#8217;t even permanent</strong>. These last from <strong>12 to 18 months</strong> before they start <strong>fading</strong> and you have to get them redone or at least touched up. What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s <strong>more painful</strong> for women who <em>haven&#8217;t</em> had surgery, because your nipples are more sensitive. And if you ever get <strong>pregnant</strong>? That nipple tattoo is going to last even less time or <strong>possibly distort</strong> because of the changes in your bod and your boobs.</p><p>If for some bizarre and likely misguided reason you still want to go through a nipple tattoo (or &#8220;<strong>areola restoration</strong>,&#8221; as the euphemism goes), docs are urging you to go to a<strong> medical tattooist </strong>and not the random smoky shop down the street because of the risks involved.</p><p>But girls, really: Your nipples are perfect the way they are. <strong>Seriously</strong>.

href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2307278/Women-better-bras-say-scientists-took-FIFTEEN-YEARS-inspect-womens-breasts.html" target="_blank">research</a> on the effect that<strong> wearing a bra </strong>has on sagging breasts, and the findings are sort of mortifying. He studied 130 women, all with different sized busts, to come up with his theory that wearing a bra actually can <strong>stop breast tissue from growing</strong>.</p><p>In the study, the women were all told not to wear a bra for various periods of time&#8211;some for a few months, others for a few years. During that time, the ladies were regularly measured and questioned about whether they felt<strong> discomfort </strong>or had <strong>back pain</strong>&#8211;and most of the gals and their girls felt fine without an over-the-shoulder boulder holder.</p><p>Some women reported that within the first three months they were a little uncomfortable, and some had slight back aches, but that they went away within that time, and later the girls felt fine&#8211;even when they <strong>played sports</strong>!</p><p>The researcher explained, &#8220;The decision not to a wear a bra appeals to women in terms of<strong> comfort and aesthetics</strong>. Contrary to popular belief, the breast does not fall, but <strong>tightens and lifts</strong>, and the quality of the skin improves.&#8221;</p><p>Still, you may not want to chuck your Victoria&#8217;s Secret garb just yet. First off, <strong>genetics</strong> play a big role in sagging breasts vs. perky ones, and so does your actual bust size. And other studies have shown that anyone over a<strong> B cup</strong> probably won&#8217;t be too comfortable with all the <strong>movement</strong> that going braless offers, even just walking down the street can make your boobs jiggle up to 33 percent more than they do when you&#8217;re standing still. If you&#8217;re busty, that can actually be <em>really</em> uncomfortable. And another doc explained that if your breasts aren&#8217;t supported, it can negatively affect your<strong> posture </strong>and make your <strong>shoulders rounded</strong>, which leads to <strong>backaches </strong>later.</p><p>Wearing a bra really just comes down to what you&#8217;re comfortable with physically (how much you move) and emotionally (you may feel exposed without one, especially when it&#8217;s cold). Plus, even if sagging breasts aren&#8217;t an issue for you yet, with the right bra, they probably won&#8217;t ever be&#8211;at least until you take it off.</p><p><strong>Would you go braless to prevent sagging breasts?

It&#8217;s how you were biologically made and so, therefore, you are <strong>normal</strong> and not weird.</p><p>A common question girls have about inward nipples is whether or not guys will <strong>still be attracted to them</strong>. As with any other physical trait, it really depends on the guy and what he likes. However, the vast majority of men are simply <strong>thrilled</strong> to see naked breasts regardless of what your nipples look like. Plus, if he&#8217;s going to be a jerk because of how you look, then he doesn&#8217;t deserve to see your nipples anyway!</p><p>As for <strong>fixing your inward nipples</strong>, it depends on how and/or why your nipple sits inward. Getting your nipple to stick out might be as simple as having a partner suck on it (oh, la la!). If that doesn&#8217;t work, you might want to speak to your doctor about your nipple options. There are some relatively easy <strong>procedures</strong> he/she may be able to do that will fix your nipples.</p><p>But really, don&#8217;t panic. I would encourage you to see your nipples as a <strong>positive</strong>: you&#8217;re bringing something novel and exciting to the love making experience.</p><p><strong>Got more questions?
