Do Bralettes Show Your Nipples?

Do bralettes show your nipples? Not if you’re wearing a nipple concealing bralette!

If you have perky nips, you know the struggle of finding a good bra that hides nipples. You either have to deal with removable padding inserts that never stay put, a matronly design, or partial nipple concealment. And if a bra with all the padding and support you could ask for can’t effectively conceal your nipples, how can a thin bralette??

We hear you. It’s counterintuitive that a thinner material can conceal more effectively than layers of foam, right? So don’t take our word for it. Many of our Elli girls, like Lauren, have told us that trying on their first Elli Bralette felt like finding the holy grail of nipple concealing bralettes:

“The Holy Grail of Bralettes"

"This bra is exactly what I’ve been searching for — a comfortable, unlined bralette that conceals the nips. I cannot understand why lingerie designers haven’t figured out that bralettes with removable pads are despised by basically every woman on the planet. The owner of this company has solved that problem. My bra size is typically a 33/34AAA but since becoming pregnant I’ve puffed out to probably a full A cup. I ordered a Medium because I hate anything overly tight and it fits great. The nipple concealing petals sewn into the bra seem stiff but they’re actually very comfortable. Pregnancy has caused some sensitivity in the nips but the petals feel like a nice little protective shield around them.” – Lauren

The Elli Bralette is a multi-functional bralette designed to be so comfortable that you can even wear it postpartum. But HOW does it conceal your nipples, and what makes it so effective?

Let’s backtrack a bit to the inspiration behind our patented nipple concealing petals.

What to Do when Your Nipples Show Through Your Bra?!

To be honest, before we created the Elli Bralette we heard a lot and did a lot of what NOT to do’s when your nipples show through your bra. Things like:

• Wearing silicone pasties – that slide right off the second that South Carolina humidity sets in.
• Adding – yes, ADDING – foam inserts to our already lightly lined bralettes.
• Taping our nipples. Cue the collective ouch.
• And even layering bralettes OR wearing a bra under a bralette.

If you ask us, it was a whole lot of unnecessary effort. We knew there HAD to be a better way to accomplish nipple hiding. So we created our own online bra company with one sole product: the Elli Bralette, holy grail of nipple concealing bralettes.

How Does Our Nipple Concealing Bralette Work?

First off - our patented nipple concealing petals are permanently sealed in place. You will never have to search for pesky foam inserts after doing laundry again. It’s the end of an era, and to that we say good riddance. The Elli Bralette is the anti-foam bralette for more than just a few reasons.

Each nipple concealing petal has three micro-thin, flexible layers, each varying in strength. The bottom layer, which is at the center of each nipple concealing petal, is the strongest layer positioned closest to the nipple. It is approximately 1.5 inches in diameter and placed to cover the majority of nipple locations. It is so strong that even our Elli girls with nipple rings experience full coverage. 

When trying on your first Elli Bralette, you might find that the nipple concealing petals seem a bit more stiff than you expected. This is totally normal. Like a great pair of jeans, the Elli Bralette will mold to your body a little more with each wear. We encourage you to try it on, wear it around, put it through all the tests, and if you still have questions, reach out to us. 

Okay, but Are Bralettes Supposed to Show Nipples?

Not if you don’t want them to! We designed the Elli Bralette with permanently placed nipple concealing petals because we didn’t want our nipples to show.

Before the Elli Bralette, nipples showing through clothes felt like a distraction that was impossible to avoid when wearing thin bralettes. And we knew from our own teenage memories how self-conscious those tween years could be without a comfortable bra that lays smooth under even the thinnest t-shirts.

The Elli Bralette is designed to provide nipple concealment for those who want it but it’s also a cute, functional wardrobe staple whether you’re worried about your nipples showing or not. That’s what makes it the holy grail. Finally, Elli girls can have it all – especially when looking for their first bra.
