To wonder if people notice this?

[lemonzest123]

Tiny thought crossed my mind before I left the house this morning.

I have virtually no very small boobs and recently decided to ditch the wired, padded fandangos and get myself so lovely comfy cloth triangle things. I love them. Noticed this morning despite wearing the bra and a shirt and a jumper, my nipples are very viable (probably because it's bollocking freezing here).

I sort of shrugged to myself and left the house but just out of idle curiosity does it bother anybody if their nips are on show as they go about their business?

Thinking about it the tabloids make the most awful fuss about people "going braless" but I can't quite make out why they think it's interesting or what they're implying.

[Appuskidu]

I would find it a bit unprofessional in a work environment to see very prominent nips on show, the same way I would with lots of cleavage (push up bra type effort).

Yes-I've always thought it was rather 'look at me'/attention seeking.

[LloydColeandtheCoconuts]

While a student I used to work in a chain bar that fancied itself as a classy joint. We had to wear the original attire of white tops and black bottoms. I never had a shift pass when someone didn’t mention my nipples! In the end I put plasters over them.
I am also a teacher and fairly busty so tops were worn with cardigans.

[NameChangeFamousFolk]

OP, if you're happy with your outfit, then wear it.

I didn't really understand people found it to be exhibitionist

I wouldn't think this for one second. Really.

[MargoLovebutter]

You are wearing a bra, a shirt and a jumper and your nipples are still visible? Is the jumper very tight over the shirt?

[VladmirsPoutine]

I'd be more inclined to think you were cold than being an exhibitionist. Same goes for men.

[soupforbrains]

sometimes I notice this on other women and sometimes I don't. To a certain extent it depends on the clothing but I never think anything of it.

I don't judge the woman for it, or think she is being exhibitionist. To do so would be, in my opinion, tantamount to assuming that she had deliberately iced her nipples before leaving the house like some sort of porn star which is obviously ridiculous.

It's a natural reaction to natural conditions of a perfectly inoffensive part of the body which is not being shoved in anyone's faces or even unclothed.

You carry on wearing your comfy triangles lemon, you do you.

[ch0c0milk]

I have small boobs and like you I’ve been wearing non padded efforts. I often notice my nipples are on show when I’m cold ( a lot) so depends where I’m going. If I’m going out I’ll wear a padded one if I’m going to work my overall hides the problem

[Jamhandprints]

I would hate if people noticed my nipples, I thought everyone felt like this. To me it's like having bum crack on display. Inappropriate.

[Morphene]

I would dress for comfort primarily. Sick of other people's opinions on 'decency' determining what women get to wear.

Am with Morphene...

But then again I did grow up watching Charlie Dimmock on Ground Force

[viques]

was it the wiring or the padding you didn't like? I gave up wired bras some years ago because they are bloody uncomfortable even when the right size and now wear really comfy unwired but slightly padded ones. Tesco do reasonably priced ones that fit me, as do John Lewis.

[crunched]

My accountant tends to go bra-less, tiny boobs and wears clingy satin camisoles. She also constantly complains she is chilly.
I have a business jointly with DH so we attend meetings with her together.
I had to giggle when DH suggested I, as the only other female in these meetings, should maybe point out how prominent her nipples were as he was sure she would be embarrassed. When I told him that I was fairly confident she knew exactly how her body looks and is obviously happy with it, he refused to believe such a thing.

Ps I am small of nork , if you were larger you might find it harder to find them as I have noticed they don't go up to larger sizes.

[DianaPrincessOfThemyscira]

I have noticed nipples on both men and women. So long as they are clothed I don't care at all.

I would suggest those that do have their own issues, maybe from policing of women's bodies, prudery, or maybe like a pp it's a hangover from people taking the piss at school.

[StigmaStyle]

Mine stick out all the time, I hate it. I also have small boobs, but big nipples. I wear soft but slightly padded bras or they'd be very visible and it does make me self-conscious.

I know it doesn't matter, but I hate the thought of anyone thinking it means I'm turned on. I even feel gross writing that. Ugh.

[StigmaStyle]

Dianna yes I do have those kinds of issues I think. Have had comments before and as a teenager and I always used to try to hide my body. :(

[nameusername]

I'm too self conscious when it comes to my perky nipples so can't go 'braless'. Yes, people notice but the polite ones don't comment.

[SinglePringle]

Mine have been known to show through lightly padded bras. Could not give a monkeys.

[Passmethecrisps]

I work in a secondary school and it has never occurred to me to alter my underwear.

I did have a colleague many years ago who wore a blouse so tight you could not only see the nipple but the tiny dimples round about it. People relief and topography of her nip. To be fair I found that quite distracting.

I am a bit jealous of women with lovely wee boobs which can be prettily dressed in camisoles so I would probably think you looked quite chic and maybe a little cold

[BitOutOfPractice]

I wear lace cup bras and to my knowledge my nipples don't show. I'm not sure I'd be bothered if they did, or if anyone else's did.

The only time I notice another woman's bra arrangements is if I'm at the gym and notice a woman who looks like they could do with some more support eg when they run.

Other than that I'm boob blind

[MrLovebucket]

I always notice a bit of prominent nipple action whether it's male of female.

It doesn't bother me unless it's a deliberate "look at me and my nice firm implants breasts with their perky little nips" situation.

I remember going to an icy air conditioned office during the summer wearing a lightweight bra and was very conscious of the fact my nips were suddenly "feeling nippy". I sat hunched over throughout the meeting like an embarrassed Quasimodo.

There's nothing offensive about seeing nipples through material but most people will find it rather distracting. It doesn't really scream 'professional' in an office environment.

[FiddleWiddiRiddim]

Morphene wins the thread:

Sick of other people's opinions on 'decency' determining what women get to wear

[BitOutOfPractice]

My DP always comments "nippy out!" if he seems mine through my clothes and we both laugh like drains. It's all fun in our house

[NinonDeLenclos]

I'm generally observant about appearance and style but I simply have not gone about my life noticing nipples. I can't think of an example when I have registered, if I did I wouldn't give a shit.

[Goldenhandshake]

Men notice. All of them. No matter what they say.

It just depends whether it bothers you. Just be comfortable.

I have F cup boobs, going braless would be positively pornographic, so I don't. Wish I could though!
