“Can you believe that anybody would write in to an Agony Aunt complaining about his girlfriend having hairy nipples?” said one of my girlfriends the other day. We all then had a slightly squirm making conversation regarding the above subject. “I mean WHO has hairy nipples? That is completely gross”. It is indeed an unattractive place to find body hair and I wonder what sort of percentage of women suffer from the problem. I was also quietly making a note to self to check chest area in order to ensure that it wasn’t my boyfriend who had sent the letter in to a magazine. To be honest after breast feeding three children hair around the nipples is the least of my problems. I’m lucky I’ve still got things that vaguely resemble breasts attached to the front of me after all that abuse.

I remember seeing a woman at the swimming pool once with the hairiest nipples in the world and thinking how revolting it was and wondering whether she was going to use a hairdryer to dry them and hoping that she didn’t have children of breast feeding age because they would all suffer from hair balls and die.

Somebody I know once reached across the table at quite a smart dinner party to pull a hair out of another woman’s cleavage only to find that her entire breast fell out with it still attached!

Phew. At least mine are not that bad. Not any more anyway. I’ve bought a lawn mower.

    I never ever heard of such a thing. Chin beards yes, moustaches, hairy legs, but oh… Strange world.

    Well I don’t mind admitting that there may ONCE have been ONE hair in that particular area. ONCE.

    apparently “auxiliary nipples” are not uncommon either. That’s having three or more boobs folks. I have a friend who has one – it looks more like a little mole. Apaprently you can have lots though, like teets on a cat or something.
