How To Hide Nipples in a Non-Padded Bra

How To Hide Nipples in a Non-Padded Bra - Psssssttttt It’s easier than you think

Nipple concealment. Some women think about it, some don’t care, and others like me agonize over finding a viable solution that doesn’t suck. But what options do we really have?

Over the years, I’ve heard customers talk about perforated foam inserts that breathe better (???), layers of Band-Aids, bras under bras; you name it. We’ll try almost anything to make sure our glass cutters can’t be seen.

Out of all the crazy solutions out there, there’s one tip I recently read and just can’t with: Choose the right clothing.

So basically what they’re saying is, don’t wear what you want, stick to the looser shirts. Heck, if you can find a graphic tee that distracts from the fact that you have boobs at all, even better!

I mean - what in the Sam Hill?? Having to choose clothes based on what’s least likely to show your nipples is just ridiculous enough that I couldn’t resist crawling back down the Google rabbit hole to discover: What else have they come up with?

You won’t believe this. 

Looking for An Unlined Bra with Nipple Coverage? Try This!

Just when I thought I’d heard it all, a new way to hide nipples in a non-padded bra popped up and ladies, the solution is right in your purse: panty liners. Yup, you read that right.

DIY efforts have apparently gone to the next level and just one aisle over from the Band-Aids. With adhesive on one side, and soft bleached cotton on the other, articles are now saying to cut your liners into any shape your heart desires and stick them into your bra. As an added bonus, they’ll even absorb some boob sweat!

Or cause more sweat?

Either way, I thought I had seen it all and this one just proved me wrong. It’s enough to make ‘choosing the right clothing’ look like a better option. Where do people come up with this stuff?

What About the Good Old Ways of Hiding Nipples in A Bralette?

Apparently, medical tape is the next best solution, and if you don’t have that, any ol’ tape will do! So long as you can crisscross two adhesive strips right over your nipples, you’re good to go.

Just bare skin and glue, that’s all. No pain, no nip-free gain, right? BONUS: for a foam-free push up, they say you can even cut a longer strip, start it at the bottom of your breast and pull it up to your clavicle!

Omg.

I mean…I’d heard of using tape, of course, but taping your whole boob? Who comes up with this stuff? 

Honestly, it’s enough to make silicone nipple covers look like heaven. At least they're intended for or your nipples and most are equipped with a ‘mild gel’ adhesive so it doesn’t feel like you’re ripping your skin off when removing them before bed. 

It's undoubtedly better than pasting panty liners into your bra or literally taping your nips.  But still, not ideal because your skin can't breath under those rubbery little disks. 

It's just so extra and annoying, these nipple hiding gimmicks, which further validates the reason I started Non Disclosure Apparel in the first place: I knew there had to be a simpler way.  

Why I Designed an Unpadded Bralette with Nipple Concealing Petals

After years of testing every method (except panty liners, insert eyeroll), I just knew there had to be something better out there.

I found out there wasn’t.

So then I thought, if I can’t find it, I guess I’ll just have to make it. And I did by spending several years in my workshop/lab/guest bedroom, producing endless iterations and prototypes.

And one US patent later, The Elli Bralette is helping women conceal their nipples (and even their nipple piercings!) without adhesives, silicones, or any other unconventional, heat-trapping nonsense. 

This is the unlined bralette that’s so comfortable, you might actually forget you’re wearing it. After years of irritated skin and so-so coverage, it is such a breath of fresh air to have a simple, all in one solution.

The Elli Bralette is made of a butter-soft nylon blend, with only 8% Spandex, which makes it both moisture wicking and breathable. And thanks to the ribbed texture of the fabric, the Elli Bralette moves with you.
