Really sore nipples
Hi, has anyone else experienced really, really sore nipples? After nearly 5 weeks I thought they might have started to feel a bit better, but no. Even the towel brushing over them after a shower is painful. Also a couple of days ago I noticed that part of my right one looked a bit weird (flat and wrinkley)and now the skins started to peel, making it even more sensitive. Is this normal, am I just being a wimp? xx

Re: Really sore nipples
It very normal lovely Over sensitivity in th nipples can be very painful top so you're not at all being a wimp hun.
What we advise is you to do is to pop a round cotton make-up pad over the nipple. This helps prevent the nipple brushing over the material of the bra which can feel quite abrasive when you're going through this. Or some women prefer to use breast feeding pads during this time.
You can also moisturise the nipple to help with the flaking too. This too is very normal hun.
The good news is that it does settle hun and things will return to normal, you also know that full sensation is back in your nipples too! Xx

Re: Really sore nipples
You might Jen.. You might not. It just depends on your healing babe and not whether or not they were sensitive before.
Your nipple sensitivity should return to their normal state as were pre-op after healing. Xx

Re: Really sore nipples
Hi Jen, no mine were fine before. They seem to have gotten a lot bigger which is probably why they're so sore. Skin stretching and rubbing on my bra. I've taken Cookie's advice though and moisturised them, hopefully this will help. xx

Re: Really sore nipples
Thanks for replying! That's intresting, I will definitely prepare for this then, like I said above I thought that because I don't have sensitivity before I wont after, but seems that's not the case! Hope they feel better xx
