So, most of my bras are bralettes or sport bras. I have some pads that I can insert into them to push my chest a little and kinda give them a good shape, and those also cover my nipples. Unfortunately the pads are falling apart and instead of buying new bras maybe there is something else.

I am looking into getting some t-shirt-bras again. They do a good job for my needs, although they are uncomfortable sometimes. Finding the right size is like winning the lottery.

I am very self conscious about people looking at my chest and thinking weird stuff about it. I don’t want anything there to look odd.

    Have you tried silicone nipple shields? They stick to your skin without requiring adhesives and should easily stay in place inside a bralette or sports bra.

    I recently discovered a wire-free t-shirt bra from torrid which has been life-changing. Maybe it could work for you.

    I love my Nippies when pasties are the more appropriate solution for my outfit. Maybe those could work? But they definitely risk shifting around after 8+ hrs or heavy sweating. Never used them with a bra though so who knows!

      I got a couple of pull over bras recently that are wireless and don’t have the same strong elastics as sports bras (kind of like this but without the weird boob split). I find them extremely comfortable. I found one of them at a thrift store actually for like 6 bucks and it’s probably my favourite bra now.

      If you’re set on a sports bra though maybe you could just go a size or two up if you’re just looking for a non jiggly day bra.

    I tried silicone nipple pads but they feel weird against the skin so I switched to masking tape. Does the job just fine and guaranteed not to fall off!

    I just put tape over my nipples whenever I don’t want them to poke. They show through anything i wear unless I use tape.

    *scotch tape, not something that fuses with skin like duct tape
