Bras That Hide Nipples Without All the Foam and Padding

One Google search for bras that hide nipples entirely and you’ll get fifteen answers that all regurgitate some version of the same information: ‘foam padded bras, molded cups and lightly lined bralettes are the best options for concealing nipples’.

But every now and then, you get one answer that’s just truly bizarro, like this article that suggests **wait for it** wearing nipple covers underneath a padded bra.

I’m sorry – what?

As a proven expert on hiding nipples, I’ve heard it all and have tried every - and I do mean every - solution myself. But layers of foam AND silicone?! Ladies, we can do so much better than this. So, let’s start with the basics.

What Kind of Bra Hides Your Nipples?

It’s not untrue that foam padded bras and molded cups will attempt to hide your nipples under clothing. But if yours are anything like mine, they will find their way through.

Many proclaimed smoothing and concealing t-shirt bras do indeed provide some level of nipple coverage. But there are trade-offs when wearing thick, stiff foam padding:

• Foam padding does not breathe because it’s not a natural fiber. It’s plastic. Hello, boob sweat.
• Molded cups and thick padding change your natural breast size, which is frustrating when you prefer to actually look like yourself and be able to recognize your own boobs.
• If you’re a member of the itty-bitty-titty-committee, you already know: gaping cups. Why hide your nipples when you can inadvertently flash them to everyone each time you lean over??

And if you’re adding layers, like silicone nipple covers, underneath a mass of foam padding? It just gets more uncomfortable. But yes, if you’re willing to wear all that business, it can help in the nipple coverage department.

Lightly lined bras also provide some level of coverage (again, never for me), but if you’ve got extra perky nips or nipple jewelry, a lightly lined bra can only provide moderate coverage, not concealment.

You might instead see a faint outline of your nipple (which, in my case, yes, every time) rather than it being blatantly obvious.

The best kind of bra that hides your nipples is one that doesn’t add layers of material and padding but instead uses foam free nipple concealing petals.

What Are Concealing Petals?

Our nipple concealing petals are whisper-thin layers of strong yet flexible material permanently sealed inside the bra. The nipple concealing petals are large enough to cover any nipple without covering your whole boob.

They’re foam free solutions that don’t require an adhesive and don’t need to be washed in between each use. And because they’re paper thin, you can feel modest and comfortable without the boob sweat, enhanced size, or gaping cups.

While we have worn (many years ago) and dissected some underwire /molded cupped bras that are made with ‘concealing petals’, we’ve also heard from customers that they’re getting harder to find.

And even so, they aren’t as thin, strong, or flexible as what we’ve developed for the Elli Bralette. Plus, there’s still the foam padding aspect to consider because even their ‘concealing petals’ were made of foam. 

So, What Is the Best Bra to Hide Your Nipples?

Of course we’re going to say the Elli Bralette, duh. Not because it’s our product but because we’ve tried every option on the market, home remedy, and combination of stuffing and layering. Nothing worked as well as the Elli Bralette. Nothing. 

(The Elli Bralette is also the best training bra for preteen girls.  Please our Girls Bralette page for more info.)

Our patented design provides guaranteed concealment – not just coverage. With two concealing petals heat sealed into each bra, you can finally feel comfortable knowing that you’ve found a nipple concealing lightweight bralette, foam padding free, and easy to move in. (Our customers of all ages sleep in it.) 

No more wondering where your concealers went. No more worrying whether your nipples are showing through your shirt. No more boob sweat or gaping cups. Just easy, simple comfort.

We promise we have the real solution and it IS 100% padding free.
