Say Goodbye to Soggy Swimsuit Nipple Covers - Introducing Our Concealing Petal Swimwear Retrofit

Let's talk about something we've all dealt with: those annoying foam pads in swimsuits that start out promising but quickly become your worst enemy. Traditional swimsuit nipple covers just don't cut it. One dip in the pool and suddenly they're soggy, creased, and looking completely disheveled. And don't get me started on how they never dry! Yet we keep them because the alternative - hello, headlights 👋 - isn't exactly the look most of us are going for.  

After years of perfecting our nipple concealing technology for the Elli Bralette, I'm thrilled to announce we've finally ventured into the wild world of swimwear! But not just any swimwear—we're retrofitting your favorite suits with our game-changing concealing petals.

Why Traditional Swimsuit Nipple Covers Are the Worst

Let's be honest here. The foam padding in most swimsuits is about as effective as using a paper towel as an umbrella. Sure, it works for about five minutes, but then you're left with a soggy mess.

Here's the problem: these foam pads absorb water while swimming, become waterlogged, and then take approximately seven years to dry (okay, maybe just hours, but it feels like forever). Meanwhile, you're stuck with damp padding irritating your skin. Not to mention how they crease, fold, and generally make your suit look lumpy in all the wrong places.

Traditional stick-on silicone nipple covers? Let's just say trapping water and sweat under adhesive disks pressed against your skin is a recipe for irritation—not to mention the joy of peeling them off after a day at the beach. Ouch.

The Concealing Petal Solution - Better Than Swimsuit Nipple Covers

Our concealing petals are the answer to your swimwear prayers. Unlike bulky padding that covers your entire breast panel, our petals are specifically sized to cover just the nipple area—giving you a natural shape without the bulk.

The petals are heat-sealed into your swimsuit, creating a permanent bond with the material. 

• No more shifting pads
• No more soggy foam
• No more creasing or bunching
• No more showing through your bathing suit

The best part? They dry quickly, don't absorb water like a sponge, and provide better nipple concealment than traditional options. And unlike silicone nipple covers, there's no adhesive touching your skin and no extra steps of washing, drying, and keeping track of them after each wear.

How Our Swimwear Retrofit Process Works

We have two types of concealing petals depending on your swimsuit:

• For swimsuits with two layers (like a lining and outer layer), we install our petals between the layers.
• For single-layer swimwear, we use petals with a cotton bamboo outer layer that installs directly to the lining.
• Using a high-heat press, we permanently fuse the petals to your swimsuit fabric. The result? Nipple coverage that moves with you, feels natural against the skin, and doesn't advertise itself to the world.
  

Real Feedback from Real Women

Don't just take my word for it. Here's what one happy customer had to say:

"I was so grateful to work with Becky! She was amazing in getting my bathing suits transformed with that extra bit of non-disclosure I was looking for without having to sacrifice my awesome new suits."

The beautiful thing about our concealing petals is that they work for everyone. Whether you're a teen just starting to navigate the complicated world of swimwear, a mom wanting comfortable pool-day solutions, or an athlete looking for performance without distraction—we've got you covered (literally).
