Why are my nipples becoming puffy?

I'm 19 years old so I'm technically done with puberty...Since I've been working out my chest size has "shrunk" by going down one cup size, but I notice my nipples/areolas are becoming puffy by nature, even when not aroused/turned on. I'm not taking any meds and I've been on because for a while. I think it looks bad on myself, because they're brown, but they look good on lighter ones Why is this?

  • Well, I'm not exactly an expert on breasts, but I'm pretty sure that nipples are basically just glands, and they're not going to grow or shrink on their own, though they can be stretched by surrounding tissue.

    Having less tissue now, having dropped a cup size, the glands are probably still the same size, which may cause them to protrude a bit more. If they were stretched a bit, then they might shrink a little over time, skin is fairly elastic, especially when you're young.

    If you think about it, smaller breasts (D) , the nipples can seem somewhat stretched, or at least that's my personal observation.

    Logically, all this makes sense to me, but I could easily be wrong.

    • Apparently, my use of "greater" and "less than" signs was taken as an attempt to insert HTML code. "If you think about it, smaller breasts (less than B) tend to have pointer, puffier nipples, while with larger breasts (greater than D), the nipples can seem somewhat streched, or at least that's my personal observation."

    • Oh ok...I was like, since when is D considered small? I'm a C Cup though, so I'm still decently sized (imo)

  • hmm. puffy nipples regardless of arousal status.. I think I'd need to perform some tests to be sure...

    :-P

    • LOL I'm sure you would need to

  • It is normal for some girls. Brown color is beautiful and striking.

  • Puffy nipples? What's wrong with that?

    • i'm wondering why I went from them not being puffy to being puffy And they just don't look good on myself, though I think they look attractive on others

    • I suspect it has something to do with your cup size dropping. A portion of your nipples used to sit down inside your breast more, but now the muscles are pressing them out. I'm not explaining that very well but hopefully you see what I'm saying. In any case, I think others probably think they look much better than you think they do.

    • Could be. Though I haven't lost weight, I have been weight lifting(something I never used to do) and doing a few calisthenic moves for the upper body, so maybe that's why

  • nothing new here, you're feeling insecure about your body. my god, stop feeling sorry for yourself!

    • I'm asking an actual question. Stop being a retard
