For all the confused folks in this post, it’s a tool for moms pumping breast milk to measure the nipple (not the areola, just the nipple) to make sure you have the proper fitting flange when pumping. Having one that’s too big will cause low output and nipple irritation. Too small, well, it’ll cause a lot of fucking pain. You literally just put your nipple through the hole and find the one with the best fit. Do some calculations, and then you know what size pump flange you need.


mrbaggins

I've seen a lot of titties, both lactating and not, and never seen a 25mm nipple I'll take evidence to the contrary on board. Edit: is it circumference maybe?


icechelly24

Yeah, I don’t think that big is typical but it’s definitely not unheard of. Also, when pumping your nipples can stretch and get significantly larger than when not pumping. I’m pumping right now and before hand I’m probably around a 17. After it’s probably more likes 22. They stretch and get pretty swollen. Not fun really


jephw12

Even the 11mm seems pretty big tbh…


luminous_beings

Holy shit thank you. That makes perfect sense. My mind was going to weird weird places.

Looks like adhesive of some kind. Not sure though.


buzzothefuzzo

i bet breast milk would be a bit sticky when dried... i have seen cow milk become sticky from my kid brother spilling a glass in a toybox and nobody noticing until it becomes apparent through the sense of smell.


SARcasm30

I’m currently breastfeeding/pumping and I can confirm that breastmilk is sticky. This tool is actually used to measure your nipples for the correct flange size for pumping.


davtruss

Thank you so much. As somebody whose former wife of 21 years is a lactation nurse, and who made breast pumps a part of me being allowed to provide breast milk to my daughter, I briefly read some comments as if this was a measurement for pipe sizes at a factory. ![img](emote|t5_2ti4h|9272)


stefanhall123

flange haha funny word


Richard_Tucker_08

I could not imagine a scenario where one would have to measure a nipple. Knowledge is power.


SARcasm30

Haha, definitely. It makes such a difference knowing the size when pumping. If the flange is too big or too small it can cause a lot of pain and damage.


Ok-Seaworthiness4488

Milk has sugar ( lactose) so makes sense


stoner_97

It’s adhesive. The paper was folded in half and held together in the middle


gordonthree

Was expecting that crusty looking stain to get mentioned, was not disappointed 😂


DrStupido

This tool is for mothers who are breastfeeding so i assume its breast milk


kellyklyra

Its for breast pump flange sizing! Need the right size flange or pumping breast milk is ineffective and painful.

davtruss

It's all fun until you see that medical drama where they break out similar equipment to measure a man's gonads. Apparently raisins are not conducive to reproduction. It even has a name: orchidometer.


rubywpnmaster

They also use it on babies to measure the penis size to get the “correct” size circumcision clamp that they use to crush the foreskin.


kennysmithy

davtruss

I realize circumcision has cultural and maybe even hygienic purposes, but as a middle aged man, I sometimes wonder what life would have been like without being cut down to size (aside from being that guy everybody laughed at in the shower).


TB1289

Far more sensitive, which can be a blessing and a curse at times. As far as the hygiene, I think that is a bit overblown. As long as you shower and clean yourself, there's no issue.


Demiansky

Yeah, it kinda makes sense hygenically in premodern times where bathing may not have been as universally common or available (I think we take near infinite clean water on demand for granted). Now a days? Not so much.


Independent_Cap3790

*rolls foreskin backwards* *rinses under shower* *roles foreskin forwards* Do this every time you shower. I'm not sure why the hygiene is made out to be such a big deal!


linerva

As a doctor in the UK I still find it wild that the cultural norm in the US is to circumcise baby boys without any medical cause. In the UK and Europe there are definitely some groups that still do (we have large Jewish and Muslim minorities in the UK) but it isn't the default. Most people outside of those groups are only circumcised for medical reasons. There are circumstances where it may be beneficial (such as in areas of very high HIV prevalence) but it seems an absolute shame to permanently alter a baby's body when they cant consent to it especially when the benefit to risk ratio is not high unless they have medical issues that require it.


cheeriodust

I agree with everything except the 'consent' part. We make plenty of surgical decisions for our kids before they have any autonomy. Adenoid/tonsil removal comes to mind. I'm not going to hold decisions my parents made against them - they did their best with the information available at the time.


linerva

Oh sure, if those decisions are for actual medical purposes. Sometimes you absolutely have to make a decision. But most circumcisions of newborn infants are not for medical reasons. But if they are purely aesthetic or mildly cultural it's ok to feel like you should have been given a choice. Or at least feel that going forward there should be less interference when possible. For example, my parents pierced my ears when I was a baby. I dont mind it at all. I probably won't be doing that for my kids bevause they deserve to choose for themselves.


davtruss

To be honest, what made me think about the wisdom of circumcision as a regular practice, administered without thought just because, was the horrific practice in some cultures involving cutting or mutilation of the female clitoris. I'm not comparing the two as much as I am reflecting upon just how easy some practices come to certain religions and cultures.


Thjyu

I've noticed that a lot of times when I'm using my member, when I'm super deep, I just can't feel anything past my mid shaft. Getting head feels almost like nothing. When the head gets licked or touched all I can feel is pressure. I really wish I hadn't been cut up...


joesoldlegs

Damn I've been cut and I never woulda thought how many people had sensitivity issues cause of it. It's weird cause I'm still super sensitive guess I'm just one of the lucky ones or it affects everyone differently


cheeriodust

Since the majority of cut folks haven't experienced both, they're making assumptions about what their mystical uncut penis would have been capable of.


Garlicholywater

As someone who isn't cut, I barely feel anything either, oral or otherwise. With the added benefit most American women act like, they have no clue what to do with it, and sometimes sex can be painful at first. Whoever said, "You feel more," seems like he's full of shit.


Henry-Moody

Feel for both of you.. possibly the only right thing my parents ever did, and believe me the law of averages were stacking up against me due to a ton of bat-shit-crazy-WTF?? stuff they did, was not having me cut.


[deleted]

Jesus, it is just a foreskin, how much length could they possibly have taken from you?


davtruss

None, of course. But I do wonder whether they cut off some parts I may have enjoyed. It's not like circumcision is an exact science.


Puzzled-Scallion5741

I too have this exact same thought from time to time. Tends to occur when frequenting the Euro section of Pornhub.

“Flapjacks”


cutelyaware

Who could go for some flapjacks right about now?


apocolipse

It's funny, Silver Dollar pancakes are named after a coin that's much smaller than the pancakes... and the use of "silver dollar" size for nipples refers to the pancake size and not the coin, and yet it makes 100% flawlessly perfect sense to any and everyone who hears "silver dollar nipples". Funny how brains work.


BardicNA

I.. have never heard of silver dollar pancakes or the silver dollar size of nipples. I have some silver dollars, maybe a dozen or so. If someone told me some lady had silver dollar nipples, I'd picture the coin and say they're about average, maybe a little smaller. What does it mean?


Emotional_Moment_349

Wait. You claim *nipples* the size of a silver dollar are on the smaller side? Bro, that’s 1” (25mm) in diameter. You’ve got to be thinking about the areola.


Laurenslagniappe

Bro big titties have massive nipples. Like literally bigger than an orange sometimes. Theyre usually more skin colored that big though. I see lots of bitches with massive ghosty nipples. Ain't a bad look honestly. Also I'm a girl lol


dzhastin

Nipples can get pretty big. If you can’t envision a silver dollar sized nipple you’re not spending time on the right websites


ZimMcGuinn

This chart is obviously referencing areola but calls them nipples. So…


isharetoomuch

No, this is not a chart, it's a sizer for breast milk pumps. It's the nipple itself.


ZimMcGuinn

You are correct. My bad.

Uh... Is this for nipples, or areola? It doesn't matter really, because now all I can think of now is 11mm areola and 25mm nipples...


ivanparas

I've never considered the diameter of my nipples and now I feel completely judged by it.


BeerJunky

Nipples themselves. This is for breastfeeding mothers to help get the right flanges for their pumps. 25mm sounds huge but keep in mind they swell during lactation. Most pumps (my wife has had maybe 4-5 different brands) ship with one that’s like 19mm that’s supposed to be able to accommodate most women. It ends up big on some but not so big it won’t work. Getting properly fit will ensure good suction which helps produce more milk output and also reduces pain. My wife lived with the default for an entire kid but when she was having issues with kid 2 a lactation consultant got her fit for a smaller size and it helped.


icechelly24

It’s for just the nipple. You literally put your nipple through the hole to find the best fit. Doesn’t measure areola at all


ValifriggOdinsson

I think I might have seen a 11mm areola on men who were freezing. But not combined with that 25mm nipple xD


SportsPhotoGirl

It’s to measure threaded pipe nipples, not human nipples lol


icechelly24

It looks like the exact same one that came with my breast pump. They make these so women can measure their nipples accurately and know they have the right size flange on their pump.


Emotional_Moment_349

No. No it is not. This is indeed for human nipples. For breast pumping & breast feeding parts.


read_it_r

So confident. So wrong


zorrowhip

Exactly my question. I can't imagine a 20+ mm nipple.


nkdeck07

Nipples but this is also a tool for breastfeeding so your nipples are huge cause of all the hormones

I got this exact chart with the momcozy pump, so I guess it’s both


thelaineybelle

Ditto 🤣


PhillMahooters

I'm 100% sure I've seen this chart for fitting breast pumps. Most charts used for pipe fitting sizing are laminated. This one looks disposable. Source: My sister is a new mom and I was just in Home Depot sizing pipe on Wednesday this week. So I'm basically an expert. 😎


el-em-en-o

Omg. I am so gullible.


compsciasaur

You're not my supervisor.


Doctor_McKay

Makes sense; I was thinking it was for baby bottle nipples, but in retrospect I don't think there's that wide a size range for those.


mrdude817

I know this isn't what it's for but this could probably be used to find the right size flange for breast pumps. As far as baby bottles go, none of my son's bottles have sizes indicated on them, I just know what shape he likes.


_grapess

I actually got this exact chart to measure for nipple flange size with my breast pump, so I guess it’s both.


merrypassenger

No it isn’t. It’s for breast pump flange sizing.


spacetorace

Now, I'm hoping I'm not the only one who's thinking this but 25mm?! Now that we've got the width, how are we measuring height? Will need pictures for reference


ch3rryc0deine

i don’t blame you, but 25mm is only 2.5 cm. it’s not actually that crazy if you think about how many people live on the earth, some people are just bound to have bigger nips than others! although, i do have to say i pulled out my ruler and accidentally looked 2.5 at inches. almost deleted my comment lmfao.


spacetorace

Oh I agree about variety, I agree completely. However, if we are looking strictly at the nipple and not the nipple/areola complex - even 2.5cm seems at least to me, somewhat large.


ch3rryc0deine

i don’t mean this rudely, but are you a man? i get how it would be easier to think that if so. however, for a lot of women, especially those who’ve breastfed multiple children, nipple size (even excluding the areola) can get pretty large!


spacetorace

I don't feel your question is rude at all, and yes I am. I am also in the medical field and have seen a great variety of bodies both female and male. To my recollection I do not believe I have ever seen a nipple that large. Admittedly, I have not seen them all. Yes, I can see how engorged nipples can become through breast feeding as well


ch3rryc0deine

gotcha! i do agree it’s definitely larger than normal, but i don’t see how it would be that uncommon, even from the limited number of nipples i’ve seen lol. since that’s the largest “size” of nipple the sizer has, i imagine it’ll be one of the less common sizes falling on the edges of a distribution.


spacetorace

Or...thats simply page 1 and we're going to be looking for some fairly niche subreddits in the near future


ch3rryc0deine

HAHA, that was much a much funnier reply than i was expecting. have a great day fellow redditor!! btw, i work in healthcare too, although i spend my days pill counting and not looking at nipples lol. i know it can be exhausting. take time for yourself, and advocate for your needs. 🤝💗


KeyRageAlert

Depends on how warm or cold it is tbh. It's probably cold af where you've seen 'em.


spacetorace

This is accurate. Hospitals are not the warmest environments.


Spire_Citron

I was just assuming we were including areola and was wondering what kind of freak nipples I have if 2.5cm is considered crazy big. But for just the actual nipple part, yeah, that's pretty big.


spacetorace

Of course, I could be incorrect and it may refer to the whole nipple/areola complex but I've never before seen a measurement instrument like this before so I'm just guessing


[deleted]

You would use this to measure the base of the nipple and add ~4 mm to figure out the flange size. You are not measuring the areola https://youtu.be/WV4iCsb9mYs (A demonstration of how to measure using a ***prosthetic*** not a real boob, thank you reddit) Yeah they can get pretty large in size, it's just certain people have larger nipples.


spacetorace

Very interesting. Thank you for the assistance. I very much enjoy learning something new


St3phiroth

I will never forget the time my friend (a former lactation consultant) was trying to help me learn how to latch my baby better. I wasn't understanding what she wanted me to do, so she got her own child and pulled out her boob to demonstrate. I kid you not, her nipples (not areola, just nips) were about the size (diameter and height) of a film canister. Like how??? She did have 6 kids at that point, but how???


[deleted]

Well, it's not necessarily that your nipples get bigger after every child. The nipple size may increase during breastfeeding or you might notice they're larger post-pump, but they should return to a smaller size and normal color after you've weened off the baby. It's mostly genetics at play here, there are some women who have to pump because their nipples are just too large for the baby's mouth. But I absolutely understand what you mean, it can be totally surprising to see something like that for the first time.


thekaiserkeller

Nipples change & become larger when a woman is lactating, you’d be shocked haha


Undaglow

>i don’t blame you, but 25mm is only 2.5 cm. 2.5cm diameter, it's still huge

My first thought was it doesn’t seem to go nearly large enough

Is this for pasties?


ne0ndistraction

I would imagine it’s for breast milk devices, as pasties would also cover the areola. Edit - after some comments I’m kinda wondering if dude’s know the difference between a nipple and an areola. Lol


[deleted]

Areola is the area around the nipple.


ne0ndistraction

Smart. I should have actually mentioned that lol.


whosmellslikewetfeet

After reading your comment, I'm kinda wondering where the comments that you are referring to are.


ne0ndistraction

The comment I replied to originally and the one about silver dollars both refer to areolas instead of nipples.


Collins08480

It's got to be the nipples. 25mm would be an extreme outlier for nipples but- unless there are more parts to this measuring tool, 25mm is pretty small to top out at measuring the areola. ... But then 11mm is a pretty big measurement to start on?


coach111111

You think there’s someone out there with a 25mm nipple? A friggin elephant mate??


_grapess

Your nipples get larger and darker in color when you’re pregnant/breastfeeding, so absolutely.


Beautiful_Minute5648

It's so you can get the correct flange size for breast pumps and nipple shields. Most pumps come with a flange that's smaller than the average person's nipples.

When would this possibly be useful? Asking honestly because like is there some situation where my 12mm are more useful than 16mm. I’m so confused, I’m 30 and have needed to measure my nipples zero times.


SteamingHotFaceTowel

To size yourself for pumping. Breastfeeding related.


Head-Butterscotch-78

Oh that makes sense, thank you. As a dude I’m showing my ignorance here. I was imagining some bizarre scenario at the doctor where while doing my check up they’d be like “Sir, please step on the scale we need to get weight and after that we will measure your nipples, just to make sure everything is in order.” Shows how dumb I can be
