Thanks everybody for your input.
I think I was a bit too giddy last night to properly explain my nipple situation.
Jenny sold me on coconut oil, so I bought some yesterday. Her skin is so great, I just had to try it. Coconut oil smells SO nice. Just like the freshest fruit, not like tropical scented BS. So, I put some on my face and arms, then I made this thread. As I waited for replies, I decided to put some on my nipples and areolae... within an hour or two, the dry, male texture softened... like a good lip balm on chapped lips. This didn't cause my buds to grow, but the softening of the outer layers of skin allowed me to confirm that I was more than just perky. Something was happening behind them. Something small. Hard to notice until the outer skin softened.
It was a thrilling moment. Until then, the only confirmed differences I could list were due to Spiro. That was the first time I knew E was working. It was compounded by being noticed right after making this thread. Kinda' awesome and cathartic after all these years of waiting.
I have felt no pain yet, and sensitivity, while increased, is nothing compared to what others here have described. I do think I will stick with the oil though. My nipples and areolae are 10x softer today than they were yesterday. They feel female to the touch. I imagine softer skin may reduce growing pains, and won't impede growth... this is just a hunch.
As for coconut oil, I can honestly say my face looks younger after one day. Other oils have helped me before, but I really like this one and intend to use it for a while. Besides, it smells and tastes great. I like knowing it is edible. Next, I will try it as a lip balm.
