    Help! Nipple show-through

    Help! The guy I am dating and I are going for a ride together this weekend. I am worrying about nipple show-through. I am very small (34AA) but have nipples that conspicuously protrude, especially when I'm active. Normally I don't worry about it when I ride. I don't need much in the way of support, so I wear a bra without molded/soft cups.

    I'm feeling very self-conscious about my nipples showing through on my upcoming date. It is very warm where I am right now (so no jacket that could conveniently cover anything), and all of my short sleeve jerseys are solid colors (yes, prints are better at disguising the problem). The only solution I can come up with is to use foam bra cup liners inside my sports bra...ick (hello, chafing). Any ideas? Should I just not worry about what my date thinks (lol, he might even like it) and proceed as usual? Or I should I get myself to my LBS asap for a printed jersey? Or other ideas/thoughts?

    3M transpore surgical tape comes in 1 and 2 inch wide sizes and should be on amazon. it works well to keep nipples from showing and to protect the nipple when running etc., is breathable and it stays on really well under exercise conditions

    There are silicon nipple covers specifically designed for this issue. Here is one brand-I'm sure there are others: http://www.dimrs.com If you have a lingerie store nearby (Lady Grace comes to mind), that may be a good place to inquire.

    Try the Handful bra. Sports bra with removable pads, perfect for small people. I only wear this bra when exercising; I had the same issue.
