is it normal to have hairs growing out of nipples?

I have wondered about this, as I have seen photos of women's breasts, & most don't seem to have hair growing out of their nipples, they have nice smooth boobs & areolas, & no hair.

I feel a bit like a wearwolf or something, my mom asked a doctor once when she accompanyied me to a pap exam, & asked the doctor about the hair. The doctor did not seem too concerned about it, & said it may be my mediterrainian heritage. I dont have any mediterrainian heritage that I know of, I am English & Danish. I do have thick somewhat dark body hair on my other parts of my body, on my lower legs. I also have some hairs that grow under my chin, some are light, others are thick & dark, & I use an epilator to remove them. I guess having long thick hair (of which I have) also means it will be elsewhere too.

I could pluck my nipple hairs, but it is too painful, & they would just grow back, & I am not in a relationship with anybody so no one sees them but me right now. Would repeated plucking over time reduce or eliminate the hair growth?

I have gained quite a bit of weight & awknowledge that I need to lose some weight. But Even when I was a slender teen, I had some nipple hairs, & a few stray chin hairs, but not as much as now.

I am now 35, & still a virgin, & fear that I may never be attractive to anybody with my body hair, of course I could pluck, pluck, pluck & shave, but it can get time consuming & painful. I still feel some of the pain when I was teased about my body hair by my school mates, I am better, I am moving on from that but sometimes I feel bad when I see images of women who are smooth all over.

Not only do I feel embarresed about being a virgin, this would be awkward for me to tell someone as well, they may laugh at me or think something is wrong, but I have body hair as well that I feel embarrsed about, & would be very nervous undressing in front of someone for the first time, perhaps I would give them a warning or in someway tell them before I get to that point, if I ever do, to reduce any shock or disgust. This way if they have a problem with it, they can leave me or I leave them.

This is all sort of personal, I would not normally post this on the internet, but this site seems safe & non judgemental, with progressive individuals, who want to help & not be caught up in who is the most popular.

Yes it's normal

I've finally stopped worrying about mine because when I plucked them, they would always get ingrown and infected. The hair is thinner now because I leave it alone, I think I have one or two strays around the areola. What drives me crazy on myself is the lip, chin, and neck hair. I might resort to waxing. Like you, my body hair is dark. I also shave my legs and arms but only shave my underarms every couple of weeks or so because if I shave there too often the skin gets very irritated. I've also decided to let my bush grow back in although I give it an occasional trim. You could have polycystic ovaries or this could just be due to your age (I think my neck and chin hairs really started being a problem in my 30's). You could see a doctor to see if there is a hormonal inbalance but some women are just hairy. My mom always said that the dark haired hairy women were more "sexy" (I think that was her way of saying orgasmic).

Confession

Yes, it is.
Although, I just had a few, I carved in and plucked them out. (it bothered my bf). wow, i feel quite ashamed at that admission. I feel I should have told him to pluck his fucking nipple-hairs out, if he expects the same from me.
I think everyone (well, especially women) plucks some hairs out from time to time. - Or all the time! Then photo-shop does the rest - how else could we end up with this absurd ideal of baby-smooth, non-hairy skin on grown women?

I would like to confess that I occasionally pluck my "would-be-moustache". My tiny little chin hairs I try to eliminate when I see them surfacing. I have black hair so I think they are very noticable.
I understand that we all feel ashamed cause we constantly get shamed.
I started shaving my legs obsessively when still very young and ended up with lots of accidental cuts and scoulding from my parents.
I guess it's because the neighbour-boy laughed at me and remarked "wow, you have hairy legs like a boy." and many other comments like that in school (from other girls in the dressing room).
I am not sure how something totally normal in men, can be something abnormal in women!
(Leg hair, arm-pit hair, nipple hair)
Sorry, I am not sure if that helps. I just felt like sharing a bit because you were so brave to share your story!

You can have nipple hair

You can have nipple hair removed by electrolysis. They put numbing cream on first. There are women who proudly have nipple hairs but do what ever you feel happy with in yourself, and that sounds from your post like getting rid of the hair. It doesn't cost that much and they could do your chin hair too. Find a medical beauty clinic and have a chat. Good luck and do what ever you want to make you feel good :)

Hairy nipples

Don't worry about hairy nipples. Some men love hairy women. Do woman like smooth men however. Your body hair is absolutely normal.Your doctor would have elimated any other medical problems that cause excess hair growth like polysystic ovaries. I am a virgin at 46yrs old and have aspergers sydrome. This makes me feel awful. If your nipple hair troubles you, you could look into having electrolysis but i'm not sure whether it can be performed in this area. A descent partner would love you for what you are, hair or no hair.
