We live in Malaysia and in common with many equatorial countries, pale/white is best.
When we first moved here, we were in the chemist and she showed me a tube of cream to make ones nipples (and presumably areola) pink in line with white western women's.
This morning, she knew I was going to the supermarket and asked me to get her a tube.
She'll be disappointed.

folkgirl she just sounds like a cow if she was trying to make you feel bad about yourself!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 10/01/2013 12:39

Folkgirl, god knows what she and her class of men would make of my boobs then.

cloudpuff · 10/01/2013 12:43

can I ask how you do the bold thing? Is it the b in brackets thing? ?

cloudpuff · 10/01/2013 12:44

Sorry i see it under the chat box now, its stars ?

DameMargotFountain · 10/01/2013 12:51

am i the only person who doesn't actually know what colour her own nips are without looking? thought so

i've seriously never considered the colour Confused

and i've bf'd Blush

TroublesomeEx · 10/01/2013 13:10

cloud I was a B cup at the time and it did bother me. I felt quite inadequate! Still look at mine and think they're small now though Confused

onezerozero oh yes, I did realise that after the fact but the thoughts/beliefs can quite often stay with you, can't they?

Ariel Funnily enough, I've never met a man who expressed the same opinions!

Backtobedlam · 10/01/2013 13:12

I've just had to have a peek to...luckily at home not out and about. I'm sure they were brown when bfing but now appear to be pink (disclaimer-I've never used any cream). Maybe they change depending on exposure to light or something?!

DameMargotFountain · 10/01/2013 13:18

Back i think i might agree with the theory that they change - mine are positively anemic now

When we were about 16-17 we used to sneak into clubs and bars, as teenagers do.

A doorman at less than classy establishment, giving me the knock-back for being underage said "Piss off! Your never 18, I bet your nipples are still pink!"

greenandcabbagelooking · 10/01/2013 14:03

Mine are almost the same colour as my skin. Very pale person!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 10/01/2013 14:10

All these pink nipple people, are you talking the actual nips or the aureoles?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/01/2013 14:10

God, I have just had to look Grin

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 10/01/2013 14:14

I've had a peek at my own because of this thread and mine are in between a pink and brown stage. Think they are a little confused and unsure

TroublesomeEx · 10/01/2013 14:15

Both Ariel. My aureoles are almost the same colour as my (very pale) and nips are pale pink.

DameMargotFountain · 10/01/2013 14:17

my nips and aris are the same colour

poshfrock · 10/01/2013 14:18

Mine are brown but I assumed everyone's were! Never even knew they came in pink.

kiwigirl42 · 10/01/2013 14:18

there is a website out there selling anal bleaching cream (!!!) with the tagline 'is your wink pink?'

can't imagine wanting to bleach my butt hole and have NO idea what colour things are back there. No intention of finding out either!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/01/2013 14:19

Confused nips here too SPsFanjo, veering towards pinker poss. Hard to say.

Maybe we could have a confused nips quiche?

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 10/01/2013 14:21

We may need to. The unsure and confused nippleage is serious. We need to stick together.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 10/01/2013 14:22

Mine are flourescent! Grin

PickledInAPearTree · 10/01/2013 14:23

Im getting nipple envy now. Thinking of buying some tassels.

BertieBotts · 10/01/2013 14:24

Mine are pink, not even that TBH, they are the same colour as my skin. Most people's I've seem are brown though. I don't go around gazing at people's boobs, but I used to go to a LLL group where people were quite open about breastfeeding no matter how difficult their DC was to latch or how distractible they were.

shine0ncrazydiamond · 10/01/2013 14:26

For fuck sake.

I am not going to check

Grin
TroublesomeEx · 10/01/2013 14:27

Check, crazy check. We all have! Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/01/2013 14:34

I bet she has
