Yeah....You heard that Right
In fact, according to Seventeen. there are eight distinct types of nipples identified by doctors.
Before you read on, you should know that the nipple comes in two parts – the areola, or coloured skin surrounding the area and the actual nipple in the centre.
All these 8 nipple types are normal, and it’s possible to have the characteristics of more than one.
So ladies, which nipple type are you? Gents, which is your boo's? Scroll down to see:
Protruding

Nipples are raised a few millimetres above the surface and point outwards. These tend to harden and become more pronounced with cold or stimulation.
FLAT
PHOTO
The nipple is flat and blends into the areola although it can still harden and protrude slightly with cold or stimulation.
PUFFY
PHOTO
The entire area looks like a small, raised mound on top of the breast. Again, this can change with with cold or stimulation.
INVERTED
PHOTO
The nipple retracts inwards. You can sometimes pull the nipple out with fingers but the muscles can be too tight.
Unilateral inverted

One nipple is raised, the other is inverted. This could be a sign of breast cancer unless it has always been that way which means it is likely to be perfectly safe. If it’s a new thing, you should see your doctor immediately.
Bumpy

Bumps on the areola might worry you but they are perfectly normal. These bumps are called Montgomery glands and can sometimes look like whiteheads. Every woman has the glands, but some people are bumpier than others.
Hairy
PHOTO
Everyone has hair follicles in the nipple area but some can be hairier than others. The hairs can be fine or coarse but it’s perfectly safe to pluck them out with a tweazer.
Supernumerary

Remember Chandler from Friends and his third nipple?
An extra nipple or two is rare but nothing to worry about. They look like flat moles or raised bump.
