Does areola/nipple size matter?

I always thought my nipples were normal, until my friend jokingly asked "what, do you have pepperoni nipples or something?" I didn't know what that meant so she asked me if my areolas are large and dark. They aren't dark in color but I'm not sure if they're big or not? What size is normal? I'm now very self conscious because she said hers are about one inch in diameter. Mine are bigger than that.

  • Like every other body part, there is a natural variation from person to person.

    And GENERALLY, the bigger the boobs, the bigger the areolas, because that skin has to stretch when the boob grows just like the rest of the skin. Your average DD-cup boob will have a much larger diameter areola than your average B-cup. That's normal and to be expected.

    In other words, quit worrying about this. No one will care (not enough to matter, anyway).

  • There is a tremendous range in size and color of women's nipples. I have seen areolae that are as small as a dime and I have seen areolae that are a few inches in diameter. Some are a light rose pink color, some are dark brown, and some every shade in between pink and brown.

  • 1 inch? Wow no that girl has no idea! Nips come in all shapes and sizes, there's no 'average' because they are so varied, same as some are inny and some are outty. Honestly don't worry yourself!

  • I thought my areolas were big but it fit my breast size, basically it was in proportion. I've seen torpedo nipples before on a friend and that was just interesting. I don't think it matters

  • Nip and areola size varies a lot and usually increase with boob size. Normal is any type and size of nipple and areola.

  • NO it doesn't.

  • 'Normal' areolas can be just about any size, from tiny little bumps slightly bigger than the nip to covering a third or more of the breast.

    The bad thing about large ones is that they'll show when you wear anything deeply cut. The good thing is that they're sensitive, so they make a really fun playtoy.

    Guys will enjoy them either way.

  • Pepperoni nipples aren't attractive.

  • Men don't care, believe me.

  • Yes it does, if you have big nips then men won't find them as attractive

  • Yes, if it's below 1.34 cm and above 2.61 cm in diameter I'd tell you to put your clothes back on!

    • Do you know the difference between the nipple and the areola?

    • It was a joke: guys really don't care.

  • Entertaining but not important.

  • Yes the huge ones are sooper sexy love to see those and covering them with cum is so hot

  • No, does not matter. All tits are good.

  • nope just for the simple fact that you can't control what your nipples look like

  • it doesn't matter too much

  • it doesn't really matter to me

  • Most guys don't care I'm sure yours are fine

  • It doesn't matter to me. It would be boring if they all looked the same. I could care less what a woman looks like under her clothes. I'm accepting of ALL bodies.

  • yes it does matters

  • I wouldn't care much about it... Most guys don't care and you can't change them anyway

  • I'd be better able to answer your question if I could see your nipples

  • How many centimeters is your niple?

  • I think there is no normal size as everybody has different one

  • Not at all. It's all sexy, believe me. If it's small boyish size, even that's sexy, if it's big huge even that's sexy. If it's average size or dark even that's sexy. Don't ever feel self conscious about this.
    Can you tell me a thing, is it better and beautiful to be all smooth shaved everywhere neck to toe rather than being very hairy man?
