My girlfriend has one inverted nipple - it doesn't bother me at all, but she is so paranoid about it that her boobs are a no go area.

She has been to the doctor and there are no medical problems.

I don't know how we can get over this as I really want to touch her and play with her breasts.

Kalyov agony auntWell if she doesnt take your compliments, trying to boost her self confidence about it...I just found this.

Some people with inverted nipples consider them to be a cosmetic deformity and seek methods to protract them.

Plastic surgery is one method of protracting inverted nipples. If a woman elects to have this surgery performed on her inverted nipples, it can permanently destroy her capacity to breastfeed. Another method of protracting inverted nipples is to have the nipple pierced. This method will only be effective if the nipple can be temporarily protracted. If pierced when protracted, the jewellery may prevent the nipple from returning to its inverted state. Like surgery, this method can have adverse effects. The success of both of these methods, from a cosmetic standpoint, is mixed.

Other strategies for protracting inverted nipples include regularly stimulating the nipples to a protruding state, in an attempt to gradually loosen the nipple tissue. Some sex toys designed for nipple stimulation, such as suction cups or clamps may also cause inverted nipples to protract or stay protracted longer. There are special devices specifically designed to draw out inverted nipples or a homemade nipple protractor can be constructed out of a 10 cc disposable syringe. These methods are often used in preparation for breast-feeding, which can sometimes cause inverted nipples to become protracted permanently.

Two methods which are now discouraged are breast shells and the Hoffman technique. Breast shells may be used to apply gentle constant pressure to the areola in order to try and break any adhesions under the skin that are preventing the nipple from being drawn out. The shells are worn inside the bra. The Hoffman technique is a nipple stretching exercise that may help loosen the adhesions at the base of the nipple when performed several times a day. Although both techniques are heavily promoted, a 1992 study found that not only do shells and the Hoffman technique not promote more successful breastfeeding, they may actually disrupt it.

maybe that will give you some ideas...

This is understandable. I could see myself being uncomfortable with it too but she needs to learn to not let it affect the relationship. One day when you are about to make love or fool around, stop everything. Turn to her and tell her how much you love her. (If you do love her.) Tell her everything that you love about her body and tell her that you love her nipples because they are on her. Kiss her all over and especially there. Does she not let you see her breasts or not touch them? You could start out with her showing them in the dark and slowly work your way up.
