It is called papillaphobia. Yours truly included. Solution-padded bras. Problem-summer heat and humidity.<br /> This is strictly in personal sense. I totally agree that women shouldn't be forced to treat this as a problem if they don't feel it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733786 Thu, 29 Sep 2016 16:27:28 +0000 minimalist 1733786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto'ing Gaylene. </p> <p>Too bad there's a misconception that visible nipples = sexual arousal. What if it's cold?</p> <p>And the same for underarm hair. If a tank top is appropriate attire (for either sex), then, well, adult humans have body hair and if present it's going to show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733395 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:01:40 +0000 April 1733395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the lingerie section at Nordstrom, you can find a variety of little shieldy products for this, if you want to use them. &nbsp;They sort of stick on you, inside even the lightest of bras. &nbsp;</p> <p>I agree, though, this is not a "problem" that any woman should feel obligated to solve. &nbsp;Solve or don't, as you choose, and as your circumstances suggest. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733323 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 18:53:27 +0000 LaPed 1733323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything Gaylene said! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733307 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 18:18:54 +0000 crazyone 1733307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am small-busted, but I have prominent nipples and sometimes a padded bra is not enough to conceal it. &nbsp;Wearing bandages/covers seems like overkill, so I just ignore it and go with my day. I don't think wearing a blouse+padded bra but with nipple bump is anyway the equivalent of a man going topless in terms of being appropriately dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733303 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 18:04:58 +0000 Gaylene 1733303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think women ought to do whatever makes them feel comfortable. Period!<br /> But I do get frustrated when the term modesty is applied to a personal choice. Modesty isn't about flattening and concealing my body because I want to ward off ill-mannered looks and comments from men--or women, for that matter. Showing a nipple bump doesn't make me immodest and unprofessional any more than wearing a padded bra makes me anti-feminist and conformist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733298 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 17:46:30 +0000 El Cee 1733298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Joyce B, I wear T-shirt bras under all my knit tops. This seems to resolve any "bipple" problems. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples/page/2#post-1733289 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 17:05:59 +0000 Aziraphale 1733289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BlondeAmbition, you are so right. It makes me grit my teeth, <i>grrrrrrr</i>. I'm not a very busty woman myself, and I don't think I've ever had an inappropriate look or comment from a man about my breasts, but I know plenty of women who have to deal with it. I mean, if you are well-endowed, what are you going to do? You can either cover up with a tent-like top and look matronly, or you can dress to flatter your bust and look a bit sexy. There is no other option. So men just have to be grown-ups, and not assume that a visible bust is an invitation for lewd stares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733286 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 17:01:01 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1733286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a feminist I wholeheartedly agree that nipples should not be a big deal and women should not have to worry about their nipples offending. &nbsp;And that's not what I worry about. &nbsp;The truth is that having large breasts attracts alot of negative attention from men. &nbsp;Even the most conservative well behaved gentlemen for some reason can look at women in a very lewd manner. &nbsp;There are many times, on the train, on the street, even in an office where I feel the attention is on my breasts in an uncomfortable manner. &nbsp;So we are caught between a rock and hard place (haha) in real life. &nbsp;Do I demurely cover up or do I let the girls stand in all their glory? &nbsp;Doing so puts me in many awkward and uncomfortable situations. &nbsp;Seriously, what is wrong with men? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733161 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 11:11:59 +0000 Anonymous 1733161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BA, I agree with you on the topic of lined bras. In my case, most of my tissue is on the sides, so I look wider and am less supported when I wear mounded cup bras. I find they don't fit as well as cut &amp;sewn, so I feel the wire dig into my rib cage. Even with tee shirts I wear my favourite lace bras--I don't mind the lace bumping through the fabric over the silicone nipple covers, but I'm on team Rachy when it comes to modesty. For me, it has nothing to do with feminism: When I'm at work, I need to look professional for the parents and families I serve. It's no different than if Aiden Turner (aka Poldark) were mowing the grounds shirtless outside the window of my meeting--it takes one's mind off the task at hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733092 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 04:27:20 +0000 Aziraphale 1733092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene's got a good point. It's a feminist issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seems to me there are some women who just can't "smooth away" their nipples, no matter how padded the bra. For this reason alone we should learn not to think of visible nipples as "distracting". They just are what they are. News flash: women have nipples!&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, I know what you're saying. (Nice imagery, btw, lol). I'm already aware of my boobage, and if I had prominent nipples, I'd probably try to conceal them. Or maybe I wouldn't. I really don't like the feel of padded bras. And I'm not opposed to the idea of nipples being visible. But as it is, mine never show through clothes (unless it's below freezing), even in the thinnest, stretchiest bras. :-)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733086 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 03:45:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1733086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I'm well endowed but don't have prominent nipples so it isn't really an issue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733085 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 03:45:04 +0000 Gaylene 1733085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, what bothers me is treating a normal body bump as something shameful. If it makes a woman feel better to smooth away a bump, that is her right, but I think it's wrong to impose a personal preference on others.</p> <p>I remember a time when pregnant female teachers were expected to wear tent-like clothing because looking pregnant in a classroom disturbed some people. And it wasn't that long ago when a flattening, minimizing bra was deemed a necessity for a large bust and a tight girdle was a requirement for anyone with rounded derrière. That kind of thinking is more offensive to me than a tiny bulge on a woman's chest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733081 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 03:21:21 +0000 amiable 1733081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My nipples show pretty much all the time, cold or not. &nbsp; In a thick padded bra, they're still visible. &nbsp;Even in the bras specifically designed to hide nipples, they show. &nbsp;And, &nbsp;I work in the construction industry - it's distracting to people around me even if I can ignore it.</p> <p>So I wear these anytime I'm going out (in the find). &nbsp;&nbsp;And they're fabulous. &nbsp;I wash with soapy water every now and then, and wear them several times a week. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733078 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 02:51:28 +0000 Dee 1733078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is pretty much the only reason I wear a bra. I'm a small cup size, so it's not really for the support. It doesn't bother me on others though, so I need to get over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733026 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:30:37 +0000 Echo 1733026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that lined bras are the answer. I was always taught that "pointing is rude", so I always wear a lined bra in public. Then again, I am a person who doesn't enjoy seeing underarm hair, either (on men OR women). It just seems private, like seeing pubic hair, to me; visible nipples fall into the same category. And while men can go without shirts in some situations, I very strongly believe that men should wear undershirts with dress clothes to avoid this same issue (and others).</p> <p>I guess I'll go Victorian with Rachy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733018 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:13:32 +0000 Gigi 1733018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, as for a solution, you could also try wearing a camisole.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the history lesson, Rachy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733017 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:09:31 +0000 rachylou 1733017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They used to get upset about bare male chests. You could be arrested for indecent exposure. And undershirts were de rigeur. Those were the days. I miss Victorian standards. Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733015 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:06:02 +0000 Gigi 1733015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a small bust and do not mind. This might sound funny, but I like to view it as a women's rights issue. (Sorry to get all political, but I guess it is the time for that, ha ha.) The nipple is a normal part of our anatomy, and I wish that our culture didn't make it shameful for us to show the outline of a nipple under clothing. No one gets upset if a guy's nipple pokes up through clothing. So I view it as my contribution to women's lib if I have a nipple poke, ha ha.</p> <p>Janet, I'm really sorry about that stranger's comment! What a horrible thing to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733012 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 23:58:24 +0000 K. Period. 1733012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really bothers me on me, but not so much on others, although I admit that I think it distracts from the way that fabrics drape. &nbsp;I too wear t-shirt bras to take care of the problem. &nbsp;Typically they don't add to much bulk, they are just very firmly shaped. &nbsp;However, for zero bulk (or for those who go braless, but want coverage), <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nordstrom-lingerie-silicone-gel-breast-petals/3333075?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;fashioncolor=NUDE">these</a> are great. &nbsp;They aren't as comfortable as nothing, but they are great coverage when you want to be sure nothing shows through (like a business meeting in arctic ac). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733002 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 23:32:50 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1733002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've honestly never heard of a t-shirt bra. &nbsp;There are many bra styles that are not available to well-endowed women like me, I wonder if this is one of those styles. &nbsp;I will check it out. &nbsp;In general I avoid bras that are too thickly lined because they make my best appear larger. &nbsp;I will check out the commandos.</p> <p>This never bothered me when I was younger, this is a recent addition to my list of things to be self conscious of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1733001 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 23:26:44 +0000 Style Fan 1733001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commando low beams!&nbsp; I have never heard of these items.&nbsp; Sort of like band aids?<br />T shirt bras.&nbsp; DH hates them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rhymes-with-bipples#post-1732998 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 23:13:02 +0000 Anonymous 1732998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always been really self conscious about this, but have become even more so as I get older.
