You and your family on holiday, but you can see the outline of your nips slightly showing under the material of your dress? It was one of those dresses where you just couldn’t wear a bra. I’m not sure it’s immediately obvious, but maybe it is. I love the picture as everyone is actually looking at the camera and smiling. My first thought was to edit it but then I’m not sure why I’d do this after all it’s only a body!

AIBU to post it unfiltered?

Photoshop unless you are looking to draw attention.

Yousaidwhatagain · 19/07/2024 20:09

Because men's Nipples are the exact same thing 🙄

If you are pouting and giving it a squeeze it is not suitable for SM. If it is just an outline under a dress I wouldn't even notice as it is completely normal.

Maria1979 · 19/07/2024 20:11

Why do you want to post it on social media? Can't you just send it to those you know won't object to your nipples showing? I don't get the whole pictures on social media thing but then again I don't get the social media thing, never had FB/Insta/other. Only WA for conversations/groups.

Cripes! Don’t tell us you’ve got your ankles on show as well 😱😱😱 the horror!!

I think it’s fine, btw.

Did nobody watch TV in the 90's? Nip outlines were very trendy, I've seen Alyssa Milano's nips more times than I've seen my own. Since the 90's are back in now I say go for it. I bet no one will even notice.

Christ men walk around in those grey sweatpants where you can count the wrinkles in their foreskin, what's the harm in the outline of a nipple?

I was thinking Friends, which was clearly filmed in a chilly studio.

I see no issue, OP.

Well
Yes
For the most part
They are

It's just society has decreed men's nipples are allowed but women's (which are used to sustain life) are not...

OP you've probably overthought it anyway. 99% probably won't even pay enough attention other than to like it.

Just don't post until home for security reasons

TheGoogleMum · 19/07/2024 20:15

I'd post it as it sounds fairly subtle. If anybody notices why are they staring at your breasts?

Yes, we all have nipples.

To me, they are. I've worked hard to have a non-male-sexualised image of my own body. Part of that is recalibrating what my breasts are for.

Having said that, a lot of people obviously do see them as very sexual, so only you know if you're comfortable with that OP.

BeauSignoles · 19/07/2024 20:58

I can't believe these responses, I had to reread the OP to check it wasn't her actual nipple. It's just an outline, through clothes. What is the big deal? I wouldn't think twice OP.

Sallyh87 · 19/07/2024 21:13

I’ll alert the church elders and see what they say…..

To be honest, it seems a bit needy and attention seeking. I don’t really get why anyone would want to post anything on social media though.

Be wary of advertising the fact you are away from home.

Good point actually .

Probably more important than the total non-issue of whether people can see the outlines of your nipples on a holiday photo. Most people don't care . If you do, then delete the picture or photoshop .

ToxicChristmas · 19/07/2024 21:20

Absolutely fine. It's only a nipple.
If you don't feel 100% comfortable it will take two seconds to edit out on a smartphone.

StampOnTheGround · 19/07/2024 19:22

I feel like it's something I wouldn't bat an eyelid at if someone else did it, but not something I'd post of myself

This.
Life's too short to over analyse anyone else's photos but tbh I rarely post me anyway.

you mean not heavily sexualized by society?

Outline of nipples? God forbid!!

Just post it if it makes you happy. The only ones who will mind are the jealous ones

Jealous of someone’s nipples?

Jealous? What would people be jealous of? Presumably they also have nappies.

spicysamosahotcupoftea · 19/07/2024 21:33

Nappies 😂

Jealous because she has the confidence to post it

Allfur · 19/07/2024 21:58

I'm not sure I'd wear a dress that you couldn't wear a bra, but then I guess it depends on the size of your boobs

alibongo5 · 19/07/2024 22:23

Bloody hell - the outline of a nipple. Why on earth would that matter? Women are expected to hide the reality of their bodies for no real reason. As someone else said, men show their nipples and sometimes the outline of their cock!

Perfectlystill · 19/07/2024 22:25

I wouldn't

GladAllOver · 19/07/2024 22:34

Are people really suggesting that the outline of a nipple is so indecent/disgusting/frightening that it has to be Photoshopped away?

Almost every human on the planet has nipples. If men and women are equal then so are their nipples.

Lentilweaver · 19/07/2024 22:35

The jealous part is really weird but also so MN😂
