Let\u2019s talk about nipples. For 35 years my nipples were not something I thought much about. They came out of my shirt in the shower and when I had sex. One afternoon, long before having kids, and in the midst of my \u201cMy Boobs Are Sexual and I\u2019m Proud of It\u201d stage, my coworkers started to tease me that they could see my nipples through my shirt. I was mortified, \u201cHard nipples?! What!? You can see them through my shirt??\u201d They all giggled, \u201cYeah, Abby, we thought you knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

They thought I knew? Who in hell walks around with their hard nipples showing their shirt? Now I know the answer to this question; a mom. Except now my nipples bring \u201chard\u201d to a whole new level. They are bigger and darker and even when I am toasty warm I look like Madonna circa 1990. And now with 2 kids running around I am certainly not rushing out to change my wardrobe.<\/p>\n

They say people bond through rough times. My nipples and I sure have bonded through soreness, dryness and rawness. They have been bitten, scraped by teeth and cracked open. While some women never experience any of this others experience it at extremes I never knew. Sometimes it ends breastfeeding relationships all together when mama can\u2019t find a way to stop the pain or bleeding.<\/p>\n

Nipple cream is a popular intervention for any kind of nipple problem, but some of them don\u2019t work while others have gross ingredients. I have very sensitive skin making my already sensitive nipples ripe for problems.\u00a0 Because of this I put nipple cream on even when I am not experiencing issues. There is always something bothersome, mild or extreme, lurking around the corner. Because I am a frequent user it\u2019s important to me that it\u2019s guaranteed safe for my nursing boys.<\/p>\n

I used the lanolin stuff before I learned that it\u2019s doused in pesticides. Then I used coconut oil, but it didn\u2019t provide the deep penetration of actual nipple creams. I have now landed on Motherlove Herbal Company\u2019s Nipple Cream<\/a>. You can even get it at most Targets if you need it in a hurry! Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, shea butter, marshmallow root and calendula flower. All organic, all safe for baby, all safe for me, all cruelty free and all honest-to-goodness relief for the sensitive lady parts, and any other part, really. Just smear it, ladies! And feel the love!<\/p>\n
