Hiding the Headlights?

How does one hide a bad case of rocket nipple? I am big busted already and really don't want the extra attention. Add to that the fact that I teach HS and this is not ok.

Today I wore a minimizer bra, a tank top and a white polo and it didn't hide anything. I have a couple of thicker knit tops but when I teach I TEACH. I am moving and gesturing and get way too warm in a sweater.

Any thoughts other than buying a thicker wardrobe? Any tricks? They don't sell thick bras in my size.

  • Padded bras do wonders for me.

  • LOL .."rocket nipple"...

    for me no matter what I do, I always look like I'm smuggling raisins.

  • For some reason the bra company didn't think there would be a market for padded bras in a 38DDD. I haven't found any.

  • Ha! Raisins! That is awesome!

    "Smuggled raisins" are not fun at all in front of a big class that is predominantly male. Seriously, I teach the tough classes and I run about 70% 16 year old boys. Yucky Yucky Yucky situation.

    Okay maybe this sounds crazy...but what about shoulder pads slipped in the bra???

    Padded bras are very popular in the 36 A category so I do not have this problem. Maybe wear a nice cardigan sweater that hangs loosely over your boobs so they can cover the nipples?

    ok, now I know you are just torturing those boys.  38DDD & rocket nipples?!?!  poor, poor, poor lads. lol

  • I don't know how comfortable they actually are but they make those flower shaped bandaid like "pasties" that are designed to hide nipples when braless.  I bought some from Victoria's but never used them yet.  Couldn't bring myself to go that bare. Under sweaters/other layers/bra, may help your situation.  This site had some...I've seen them in departments stores too.

  • I used to work as a bra fitter.  There are silicone petals you can buy specifically for this.  They will give you a smooth look under your clothes.  Here's the link for them at JCP, they're only $15 there:

     HTH!

  • I've just been wearing a light cardigan over my clothes or a jacket.  My husband keeps commenting though when I get home, haha.  Too bad they're too sore to play with ;)
  • I've been wearing light sweaters or 3/4 cover ups at work.  It gets really hot in my classroom so usually the rock hard nipples die down a little.  It is in the cold hallway I have the problem.  I also wear light scarves that can cover the area.  GL!

  • nursing pads aren't pretty, but they'll work perfectly for this
