Not wearing a bra, whether it's for comfort or just style, can give you a feeling of freedom. However, if you're not comfortable with protruding nipples, there are ways to cover them up without wearing a bra.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Covering Your Nipples
Step 1. Use pasties as a one-time option
This disposable striker can only be used to cover the nipples so it's perfect for when you're wearing a short-cut shirt or light fabric. These products are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors so you can find one that matches your skin tone and nipple size. You can also choose a more striking design.
Remember, pasties are very thin. So, not all designs can cover hardened nipples
Step 2. Purchase a silicone nipple cap for regular use
If you travel a lot without a bra, consider buying a silicone nipple cover. Just like pasties, this product can protect the nipple and is attached with adhesive. However, instead of throwing them away after each use, you can wash and wear them multiple times.
- Silicone nipple caps are slightly more expensive than pasties, but they can generally be used up to 100 times.
- The denser silicone material can provide better protection, but is also easily visible from the outside of some types of clothing.
Step 3. Try using tape or duct tape as an instant cover
If your nipples stick out when you're outside, a few simple things can be a lifesaver. The black duct tape has just the right thickness to cover it. Be careful when removing duct tape from sensitive areas. Adhesive duct tape is another alternative. If you attach it in such a way that the nipple area is not exposed to the adhesive, you will not feel pain when removing it.
- Apply duct tape or tape in an X pattern to cover large nipples.
- Take a shower to weaken the adhesive on the duct tape or tape to make it easier to remove from the skin.
Step 4. Place a cotton swab under the duct tape for added protection
Place a cotton swab over the nipple, then apply duct tape. If you don't have cotton, cut a small piece of the pad into a round shape and place it on your nipple.
Make sure the cotton is spread evenly so it doesn't stick out
Method 2 of 3: Preventing Visible Nipples
Step 1. Use fashion tape to keep the clothes on
This transparent double-sided adhesive adheres clothes to the skin and ensures clothes don't change position even when you move around a lot. Peel off the back of the tape, then apply it directly to the skin. The other side of the tape will stick to the clothes so you don't have to worry about your nipples accidentally showing.
- Stylish tape is ideal to wear with short-cut dresses and tops such as sleeveless tank tops.
- Because style tape is made to stick to the skin, it's much easier to remove than regular tape, and it rarely triggers an allergic reaction.
Step 2. Wear a bandeu for extra protection and still look stylish
Bandeaus and bralettes are alternatives to the thinner and sometimes frilly bras. These playful underwear are designed to show off and are often teamed with revealing clothing or short-cut shirts. Bandeaus and bralettes can be perfect options to protect your nipples from being accidentally exposed, as well as make the look more stylish.
Step 3. Wear a camis under clothing to protect yourself
Wearing a tight camis or tank top under a shirt or blouse can ensure that your nipples are not visible from the outside.
Choose a camis in the same color as your top so the color can blend with the clothes you are wearing
Method 3 of 3: Wearing Shirts as Camouflage
Step 1. Wear patterned or dark colored clothes to distract from the nipple area
"Busy" clothing designs, such as stripes or polka dots, can draw attention to your nipple area. Dark colored clothing, such as black, navy, or purple, can also make the nipples more difficult to see from the outside.
Avoid wearing white and thin clothes when you're not wearing a bra
Step 2. Wear layers of clothing for added protection
Wearing layers of clothing can hide nipples. Undershirts, tank tops, and camis can provide better protection without making the outfit look "full". Try wearing a longer tank top under a blouse of the same color for a neat look.
A lacy camisole can be purchased in many places and makes a great layering for a cool shirt
Step 3. Choose a looser and thicker material
Nipples are easier to hide under thick clothing. The same goes for loose-fitting clothes because the material won't stick too tightly to the skin.
A long, dangling tunic is an option to look chic and won't make you look shabby
Step 4. Wear a blazer or jacket to cover your nipples and look stylish
Cut jackets and blazers can cover the nipples perfectly. Blazers are sold in various styles and materials so that they can be a complementary choice of clothing that fits in all seasons.
Step 5. Wear a scarf to cover the chest area
Scarves can not only be worn in winter. Scarves have various types of patterns and are made from various materials, ranging from thin to thick, so they can be used to cover the nipples as well as add variety to the color of the outfit.
