Best of Broad: Nippies Nipple Covers

You will not believe what we’ve got for you now. Our current favourite is a genius problem solver with a cute name, to boot. We’d like to introduce you to Nippies nipple covers. Is your workplace over-air-conditioned? Are your nipples super sensitive? Have you had enough of Instagram censoring your lingerie shots? (Okay, that last one’s definitely us.) No matter the situation, Nippies have got you covered…literally.

Nippies in “dark”

What are they?

Nippies are flexible rounded discs, made of medical grade silicone. They cover your nipples so that no matter what kind of bra or top you’re wearing, you don’t have to worry about “headlights” showing through. And they’re available in three shades, so they blend in easily with most skin tones.

How do they work?

Nippies stay on using your body heat and your bra. There’s no adhesive, so they’re great for sensitive skin and they’re pretty much indefinitely reusable. Just wash with a gentle soap to refresh them! The silicone is thicker in the centre, where your nipple would usually show through, and tapers off to a very thin edge. That tapered edge means Nippies lie smooth, flat, and invisible under your bra and your clothes. No one will know you’re wearing nipple covers unless you tell them! (Which, honestly, you might do. It’s hard not to share such a gamechanger.)

Who are they for?

Nippies in “light” (We also stock their medium shade!)

Maybe you! Do you find yourself choosing t-shirt bras or padded cups, even though you don’t like them, just to hide your nipples? Do your sensitive nipples overreact to the slightest breeze, making you cross your arms and feel self-conscious? Is your workplace seriously conservative? Nipple covers are worth a try in any of these cases.

The last thing we want to do is imply that visible nipples are at all shameful or wrong. Heck, we sometimes put ours on the internet! But we know that not everyone is down to #freethenipple. Depending on your lifestyle, your workplace culture, and your comfort zone, you might want a little camouflage. If you feel like your choice of bras has been limited by the need for nipple coverage, Nippies can broaden your selection. Pick new bras based on what fits best and makes you happy, and let Nippies take care of the rest!
