4: We Need To Talk About Nipples (With Artist Emma Low & Nurse Clare O’Neill)

Women’s bodies, particularly breasts, are hypersexualised – yet our nipples are often censored. And the nipples we do see are almost always the same: small, pert, pink, probably symmetrical and located on a slim, white, cis-gender body. Not only is this lack of representation damaging, but focuses too much on aesthetics.
We’re joined by two amazing guests on this podcast: Emma Low, an artist who makes clay boob pots that are not only fun, but crucially super inclusive (check them out at Pot Yer Tits Away Luv) and Clare O’Neill, a breast cancer survivor and nurse working for CoppaFeel! Charity to talk about nipples in their many, many contexts.
