Mine are a bit hairy and at my age are starting to sag a little under the weight of my man boobs........sorry.....I'll get me coat



I've used long nipples because I put "washers" under the nipples on the inside of the rim (hope that makes sense)

But normal nipples will do the job  :daumenhoch: I've just bought some red alloy ones to change over that are normal length  :daumenhoch:
