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

I've just bought some red alloy ones to change over that are normal length
