Nipples, Nipples Everywhere….

Remember the movie Meet the Parents? “I have teats, can you milk me??” says Robert De Niro. Hilarious and yes, true, that everyone has nipples…but, many women are very self-conscious of their unexpected rising. I constantly hear from customers that they choose to wear molded-cup (contoured) bras over soft-cup or lace ones because of the embarrassment of their nipples showing through blouses. Personally, think it’s “very French” to just let ‘em show, but I think I’m in the minority most days! Nonetheless, there are options for all occasions.
A simple solution is to use nipple covers underneath any bra you want (or no bra if you are so inclined). Nippies, available at Bra & Girl, are soft, flexible ultra-thin silicone nipple covers. These wardrobe essentials are superior at concealing the nipple. We’ve found they are excellent and women love that they can use them over and over again. Nippies are available in adhesive or non-adhesive styles. The non-adhesive ones form to the curves using body heat and are great under thin lace or soft bras. Block those highbeams, honey!
A more scientific and potentially gratifying way to tame those nipples is choosing the right bra. Superior bra construction will enable nipple compression by simple design. The very best example of this that I have found is the Rive Gauche Bra made by Chantelle. Without getting into the physics of bra design, the 3-part cup design (i.e. the cup is comprised of three pieces of fabric stitched together) imparts force to at the tip of the cup where the nipple resides. This pressure provided by the seam compresses the nipple very well. Other styles that work well vis-à-vis this feature are the Fantasie Helena Bra and the Elomi Caitlyn both specialty bras for sizes 30D-36G and 38D-52G, respectively.
With these tips (no pun intended), we hope that you can enjoy a more diverse lingerie wardrobe and not be restricted to molded cup bras simply because of the nipple issue.
