Slightly padded bralettes to hide pointy nipples

29 replies

GoToSleepLittleBear · 24/08/2019 20:00

Does what I want exist? I've been searching online but can't find what I need, hoped someone here might have the answer...

I've always had small breasts, a B cup with generally soft nipples pre-children, which post-children have frustratingly morphed into a AA cup with permanently erect nipples. If I lift my arms above my head then my chest is literally flat as a board apart from these blooming nipples. I don't really mind the flatness of breast and at home will cut about without a bra quite happily, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing that a work. At the moment I'm alternating between a padded bra which puts me back to a B cup, and a C cup bra which I got just before stopping breastfeeding, which is not padded but holds its shape under clothes....but what I really want is something like a grown-up bralette, lined enough that it hides my nipples but not padded to made things bigger, doesn't really need to offer any support at all, maybe in a slightly lacy design with a proper bra strap at the back to help me not feel like a pre-teen Blush

Anyone know of anything like this?

Oops sorry, meant to post this in S&B. Still, anyone have any ideas?

I just let nipples be noticed. They're just part of me and I don't care/notice if anyone reacts.

Matalan have Bralettes slightly padded really comfy.

chasegirl · 24/08/2019 20:07

Asda. They do a few different styles with different levels of padding

Orchidflower1 · 24/08/2019 20:08

Next do some nice ones.

GoToSleepLittleBear · 24/08/2019 20:10

I don't mind at home/with friends but I work with patients and I wouldn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable so I don't think I can totally ditch the bras for work, much as it would be the simplest option!

Brilliant, thanks so much for the suggestions.

I’d recommend sports bras. You get the bralette type with reasonable amount of padding in breathable fabric.

MrsStarwars · 24/08/2019 23:54

I have exactly the same problem as you! I have recently ditched the bras and gone for Asda bralettes, some have vest top straps some have bra straps. Way more comfy than any bra !

WalkAwaySugarbear · 24/08/2019 23:58

Matalan and primark have these. Also primark's sports bras are good for comfort and coverage, not great at support for sport but comfy to wear daily.

TK Maxx, Hollister

Cocolapew · 25/08/2019 00:00

Definitely Matalan.

You can buy stick-on silicone nipple covers on eBay for a couple of quid. Then you can wear any bra you want. That’s what I do as I’ve got big boobs and struggle to find padded bras in my size.

HeyMicky · 25/08/2019 00:13

I agree with the idea of nipple covers. The stick on silicone ones. They smooth everything down and you can wear your normal bra

aewwwenxt · 25/08/2019 04:12

I got both of mine from peacocks, didn't cost much and both comfortable. In fact when I put the first one on (after years of wearing the wrong size bra I think and my back aching) I was amazed! And considering I'm breastfeeding so my boobs are either super saggy or very perky they cope brilliantly and give lots of support

CheesePuffTheMagicDragon · 25/08/2019 04:40

I really like the primark ones

saraclara · 25/08/2019 05:04

I wear silicone nipple covers all the time. They've transformed my life! I spent most of my adult life having to use cotton wool to disguise my almost permanently pointy nipples (often unsuccessfully!) until I discovered them. They last for ages, so ignore the info that says you can only use each pair half a dozen times. Mine last for months.

StarlightLady · 25/08/2019 06:25

Aside from the fact l agree with those who say we shouldn’t feel the need to hide our nipples (we’ve all got them, men as well), if you are not particularly looking for the support aspect, wouldn’t a simple camisole do the trick?

BoomyBooms · 25/08/2019 13:29

These are really good, super comfy, and very good value!

Tu at sainsburys do lacy two packs of ever so slightly padded bralettes. They're well made and last in the wash. Primark also but they're not great quality

stucknoue · 25/08/2019 14:09

Dd has one from Asda's teen range, zero support but that isn't an issue for you you say

EvaHarknessRose · 25/08/2019 14:16

Hollister have some really nice bralettes on sale just now. great for teen girls for anyone else looking.
