The Best Bra to Hide Nipples Fully

The best bra to hide nipples fully. Spoiler alert: it’s NOT a padded bra.

How many times have you Googled “best bras that hides nipples,” only to be sent down a rabbit hole of listicles chock-full of padded or ‘no show look’ bras?

If you’re looking for a wearable solution for your extra perky nips, these lists only exacerbate the problem you’re trying to solve. They’re full of partial solutions that mostly depend on foam padding coupled with pro tips like “wear silicone nipple covers underneath your bra for even more coverage!”.

Which just goes to show that even they know the truth: padded bras are not the best solution for nipple concealment. So why do these articles keep showing up at the top of your search results?  

The truth is that many listicles are also advertisements, not resources, where brands “pay to play,” and those websites often have established domain authority, which cues the ol’ search engine to recognize them as a relevant source of information.

Sure, it’s meant to be helpful but unfortunately, sometimes the answers either are not correct or are misinformed.

So what’s a girl supposed to do when it seems that every single online search points back to the same half-baked answer? Let us do the leg work for you. Keep scrolling for the breakdown of what the best nipple concealing bra really is.

Let’s Start with Understanding What a ‘No Show Look’ in Your Bra Really Means

We’ve got a theory on why brands might use ambiguous sounding terms like ‘no show look’ in their product descriptions, and it all goes back to the algorithm. We’ve had videos and social posts taken down just for using the word nipple.

But we also know first-hand that women are searching for bras that hide nipples and nipple concealing bras, and the best way to deliver factual information to the people looking for real answers is to use the real words.

Why beat around the bush? We’ll take our chances with the algorithm if it means helping another woman find the nipple concealing bralette she’s been avidly searching for.

That being said, the phrase ‘no show look’ goes back to the difference between coverage and concealment. Bras within the ‘no show’ category often have molded cups or some level of foam padding to provide coverage.

In some instances, they’ll even have nipple concealers in them, but the catch is this: Even those are made of foam.

If you’re new to Non Disclosure Apparel, we are THE anti-foam online bra store. Why?

Foam Padding Doesn’t Provide Guaranteed Nipple Concealment

In fact, it was originally invented by the creator of Frederick’s of Hollywood to give the impression of larger breasts. So how did padded bras get pulled into nipple concealment duty? The concept of coverage.

Theoretically, if you layer enough material on top of something, it won’t show through because it’s covered under a bunch of layers.

There are a few flaws to this, however:

1. Foam padding doesn’t breathe and the more you layer on, the hotter and less comfortable it gets.

2. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort in an attempt to conceal perky nips.

3. Who decided that nipple concealment was synonymous with wanting bigger looking boobs? If you’re a card-carrying member of the IBTC, you know: the smaller your boobs are, the less there is to push up, and then you’re just walking around with two balls of foam under your shirt, gaping cups that require strategic movement and - oh - let’s not forget the pokey wires most padded bras come with.

Is it possible for foam padding to make your pokey nipples less obvious? Absolutely, but is it worth the trade off? We’ve never thought so. Which is why we designed the Elli Bralette.

The Elli Bralette Does More Than Just Hide Nipples Fully

It’s guaranteed concealment with pure comfort and absolutely no foam, no wires, and no scratchy back clasps. This is the bralette that’s so comfortable that we have dozens of reviews from customers saying they often sleep in their Elli Bralette, all thanks to the patented design.  

It starts with the pièce de résistance – the nipple concealing petals. These 100% foam free nipple concealing petals are paper thin, super flexible and strong enough to hide even nipple piercings. They’re also heat-sealed in place - meaning, they’re permanent, non-removable, and will not shift - so you never have to go searching for them. 

Combined with our buttery-soft ribbed fabric, the Elli Bralette feels like leggings for your boobs – the kind that you WANT to wear to the airport because you can be comfortable and cute all at once.

Thanks to the seamless ribbed texture, made from a blend of nylon with 8% Spandex, the Elli Bralette moves with you and never digs in. Instead, it feels more like wearing a gentle hug. And because the fabric is so stretchy, many women find that they can go between two sizes depending on the amount of coverage they’d like.

For example, if you’re normally a size Medium, but would like to still have nipple concealment when wearing a low cut top, the size Small will provide the same guaranteed concealment while being less obvious under your top (see our demonstration here).

The Elli Bralette is a guaranteed solution for nipple concealment that doesn’t sacrifice your comfort. And because there’s the ability to go between sizes, if you haven’t tried one on before, there’s no need to worry about picking ‘the wrong size’. It all comes down to personal preference, and our return policy allows for stress free exchanges and returns.
