large nork advice needed, especially from teachers

I have size 34HH norks and am a secondary school teacher (not a good combination)

Here is my problem: I like wearing white as it is a good colour for me. However in the 11 years I have been teaching, I have never ever been able to wear white t-shirts or close fitting lightweight jumpers. The reason for this is of course in case nipples show. When I have worn them have stood in front of all classes with arms folded JUST IN CASE!

Have tries shoving bog roll/paper tissues down bra, but they just show through. Has anyone got any tips for this problem, without enlarging norks any further?

Will investigate nipple shields, although how does a man put these on!/ With tit tape??

No, no mini heaters, school is like arctic wastes...

Thanks for all help everyone. Feel that website is going to seriously affect my pocket though Cod!

Lily padz

plastic self adhesive nipple sheilds - but they're for nursing mums. they're reusable and they do flatten you down.

Other than that, make use of them and hang your pupils coats on them

I know what it's like- you have my sympathy

I feel your pain. I have to say I tend to hope that plunging cleavage distracts from protruding nipps, but fear this is not a good tactic when surrounded by hormonal adolescents.

Oh I really feel this pain as I realised the other day that when wearing a top I had been wearing last summer with a white bra underneath you could see my nipples and I had no idea I can't believe no-one told me...dh said he hadn't noticed but I find that hard to believe. I'm stocking up on flesh coloured ones this summer. Agh

My nipples stick through virtually everything, I reckon. I've given up worrying.

I remember one of the mw saying when I was giving birth to ds in a pool, that I had the most fantastic nipples for bf !!!! Which I do, they are so big no baby could ever miss them

Not so great for small, sexy, silk tops though !

Well a whole host of ideas there, some more practical than others LOL. There is nowhere for them to hang their coats at the moment...., but not sure suggestion further down was the answer!!!

Apologies for the coat hanger joke, it was a bit flippant. Some days you can joke about having big boobs and others (if you excuse the pun) they can really weigh you down.

fizzbuzz · 10/03/2007 21:39

I thought it was hysterical and really did laugh out loud.
