While some individuals don't mind their nipples showing through clothing, even considering it a fashion statement, others prefer to keep them hidden. If you aim for a more modest appearance, concealing your nipples can help you feel more at ease with your body and outfit.
Steps
Concealing Nipples

Use silicone nipple covers under thin fabric. These products are small, circular, or flower-shaped adhesive pads that perfectly cover the nipples, making them an excellent choice for deep-neck tops or sheer fabrics that might reveal them. Apply the sticky side directly onto the nipples and press gently. Choose a shade close to your skin tone for minimal visibility.
- You can purchase nipple covers online or at stores specializing in bras and accessories.
- Wash the covers with mild soap and water after use, and store them in their original packaging for reuse. The adhesive will eventually lose its stickiness, but many covers are designed to last for 30-50 uses.

Try disposable nipple covers if you don't need long-term use and want a budget-friendly option. Similar to silicone covers, disposable ones are applied directly to the nipples and secured with adhesive. These are cheaper and sold in packs of 4-6, as they are designed for single use. Some people prefer them because they are less noticeable under tight clothing compared to thicker silicone covers, which can leave visible lines. However, disposable covers may struggle to conceal erect nipples effectively.
- Experiment with both types to see which works best for you.

Cut a panty liner to create a DIY nipple cover. You can cut the liner in half, then shape two circles large enough to cover your nipples. Keep the adhesive backing intact. Stick the pads onto your nipples and discard them after use.
- Like disposable covers, this method may not fully conceal erect nipples under tight clothing. Test it at home before wearing it out.
- You can also use band-aids or surgical tape as alternatives.
Wear a bra with full coverage

Opt for a T-shirt bra to conceal nipples under everyday clothing. To ensure nipples don't show through fabric, look for bras with thicker cups, often called molded or T-shirt bras. These bras don't have extra padding but are firm enough to prevent nipple visibility.
- Padded bras can provide additional nipple coverage.

Try adhesive or backless bras. These bras have cups that stick directly to the breasts instead of using shoulder or back straps. They often feature a front clasp to connect the cups, lifting the breasts for support. You can purchase them online or at specialty lingerie stores.
- To wear an adhesive or backless bra, bend forward and attach the cups to the outer sides of each breast, then fasten the cups together to create cleavage.
- Wash the adhesive area with soap and water after use. Let it dry and store it in its original packaging for reuse.

Apply nipple covers inside a thin bra for an extra layer of coverage. If you enjoy wearing lace or lightweight bras, attach nipple covers before putting them on. This way, you can appreciate the beauty and feel of a delicate bra without worrying about nipple visibility.
Leverage the advantages of clothing

Wear thick or loose-fitting fabrics to avoid tightness. Thin, form-fitting tops tend to accentuate nipples. Opt for loose tops or dresses made from thicker materials, which can naturally conceal nipples without additional accessories.
- Look for tops or dresses with double layers, such as those featuring built-in linings or lace overlays over the chest area.

Choose dark-colored tops with distracting patterns to divert attention from nipples. Light colors like white and pastel shades make nipples more noticeable, while darker hues such as black, purple, and navy blue help conceal them. Patterns and prints can also effectively camouflage nipples.
- Avoid tops with ruching or other design elements that draw attention to the chest area.

Layer a camisole under loose tops. If your top is flowy but made of sheer fabric that reveals nipples, try wearing a camisole underneath. Select a camisole color that matches either the outer top or your skin tone. Alternatively, choose a complementary color and let it peek out from under the top for a stylish layered look.
- This method works with tighter tops as well, though the camisole's edges may become visible underneath.
Advice
- Peel off the nipple cover and breast cup slowly. While it won't hurt, you might feel slight discomfort during the initial applications and removals.
- To lift your breasts slightly without wearing a bra, apply a piece of fabric tape on the outer side of your breast and pull it over your shoulder like a bra strap. When removing, do so gently and carefully.
