I might just wear it to my wedding, too.

My fiancé and I are getting married in Southern California, but we decided to bring our New York City lives into the mix with a Tri-state area engagement photoshoot. I found the perfect white bubble dress from Birdy Grey that was beautiful and sexy. The only problem? It included a plunging V-neck that nearly reached my belly button. So, what bra was going to work with that? Spoiler alert: I didn’t wear one at all.
The best-selling Nippies Nipple Covers saved the day, offering me a solution to quite literally the trickiest (and one of the most important) fashion pieces I’ve worn. And let’s just say, I finally understand why Kate Hudson carries a pack of stickies with her “everywhere.” They’re simply essential—and select styles are still on sale following Memorial Day weekend.

Available in five shades, the silicone rounds stick firmly to my skin and provide a seamless finish that disappears under clothing. Mind you, the upper part of my white dress wasn’t thick at all, and you still couldn’t see the pasties—even under the camera flash.
The small and large sizes additionally give the chest a natural dome shape, versus flattening the area like boob tape often does. While I opted for the traditional nipple covers, a lifting version is also up for grabs, which features the same characteristics as the originals but includes a pull tab that boosts breasts up to an inch.

No matter which version you opt for, they’ll stay put. My fiancé and I ran and danced all over the West Village in 70-degree weather, and even though I broke a sweat, the pasties didn’t budge one bit. They were on for over five hours (including getting ready and some at-home lounging), proving just how good they really are.
My favorite part? The Nippies Nipple Covers are painless to remove, eliminating the need for tugging and pulling. (If you’re like me and have used straight-up tape on your delicate areas, you know how big of a deal this is.) Once taken off, gently wash with soap and water, let air dry, and store in the included travel box to use again and again.
I was so impressed by the Nippies Nipple Covers that I’m almost certain I’ll rely on them for my actual wedding day. But even if you’re not a bride, these pasties will work wonders under tube tops, spaghetti-strap gowns, backless blouses, and more summer-perfect tops I know you’ll be wearing soon. Score yours while select styles are on post-Memorial Day sale.
