Stick on nipples? I must be getting old!

Maternityleavelady · 22/06/2026 14:12

these just popped up on my M&S suggestions to buy: https://www.marksandspencer.com/silicone-stick-on-nipples/p/clp61230306
I must be getting old and out of touch because in my day we wore padded bras to hide our nipples through clothing!
and if I wanted to show some nipple these days (which I don’t) I could just wear a thin bra rather than stick these things on?!

😵😵😵
My friend and I actually invented these on a night out back in the mid-00s after she lost a stick-on nipple down the toilet.
We had a long conversation about what a good idea it'd be to have the nipples built into the bra itself.
DAMMIT.

Kim got in there first with your brilliant idea!

'The point of the Skims Ultimate Nipple Bra is to give you the bold, perky look of going braless while still providing the lift, shape, and support of a heavy-duty push-up bra.'

Omg you can also get ones with the nipple pierced!

One of my nipples pokes in - so maybe they are designed for us innies! Although I would only need one... no point me buying the pair.

God that's weird. My name's actually Kim (not that one).

When I saw your post, I felt sure you were my nipple-down-the-toilet friend from 20 years back.

Skims do a bra with fake nipples on the outside, made to give you lots of lift and volume but then show nip so it gives the illusion that you’re going braless but with gravity defying titties.
I imagine they’re trying to cash in on that but have missed the mark. Can’t imagine that many people want to wear a silicone nipple cover, designed to look like a nipple.

Might want to get that checked at the drs.

I also saw these pop up and thought fleetingly about sticking them where my formerly perky nipples used to be, but mainly I just wondered who the fuck could be arsed to piss about with fake plastic nipps? Even industrial tit tape couldn’t survive an encounter with a dab of sweat in the 90’s. I could easily see these emerging out of my neckline on a night out (which would be hilarious tbf, but not for everyone).

Hard no from me.

You could get 6 and pretend you were a dog or up to 10 if you wanted to pretend to be a hamster.

They are popular in the 90s, I think thanks to Rachel in Friends.

Like in every scene she had her headlights on full beam...

Well my nipples have packed up and flown south on their retirement so maybe I'll grab a pair to make it seem like they're having a staycation

Oh, your post really made me laugh. At 75, my nipples are definitely staying down south. They deserve their break, they did their job admirably, now it's time for them to go wherever the fuck they want.

elephantoverthehill · 22/06/2026 19:31

Wouldn't you just look cold?

ChristmasCwtch · 22/06/2026 19:41

It’s so bizarre. I wander around my house with a T-shirt and no bra and very obvious nipples. Cannot imagine doing that out and about. You’d just have people looking at you.

Surely M & S (spaces to avoid hyperlink!) is mainstream and not at all racy 🤔

MajorSamanthaCarter · 22/06/2026 19:52

Are they not for hanging your tea towels on?!

nogainjustpain · 22/06/2026 20:24

I think Samantha and Miranda had some ‘success’ with these on SATC, if we define success as getting men in bars to check them out, was it a big 90/00s trend for regular ladies too? I missed this the first time around. I know 90s trends are/were back. I was hoping it was just the dance music and drink prices!

ClawsandEffect · 22/06/2026 21:10

Breast cancer. I've got (sort of) boobs but the nipples are dead. Stick on nipples would be good. Some prostheses have nipples on them.

OriginalSkang · 22/06/2026 16:40

Is it just me, or are those nipples really tiny? Is that nipple perfection these days?

I was thinking exactly the same thing!! (Along with, wtaf has happened to M&S?! I'd expect something like this from somewhere like Wish, but M&S??)

ruethewhirl · 22/06/2026 21:44

And also, as a former product copywriter, I've just been having fun imagining the look on someone's face on discovering they had to write a description for those! 😄

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 22/06/2026 21:50

80 people looking at those nipples on the m&s website. Probably traffic from here.

notnorman · 22/06/2026 21:52

Only the pink t shirt has the nips! The other colours are happily nipless

Kalanthe · 22/06/2026 21:58

Meanwhile all I do is trying to hide mine when wearing a soft bra 🤣

As someone said it’s a blast from the 2000s. There is an episode of Sex and the City where Samantha is wearing them

Support12 · 22/06/2026 23:29

It'll be to go on top of push up/padded bras to make it look like boobs are naturally that big/high without a bra on

AltitudeCheck · 22/06/2026 23:47

Tempted to get some and give myself a temporary 3rd nipple or give the impression one of mine has migrated!

NameChange0101010101 · 23/06/2026 00:16

Back in the noughties i had the oposite- some things called petal tops, which were flower shaped sticking plasters to stick over your nips when going bra less, to avoid nip outline!
