I mean, really, what's wrong with a little nipple?

That picture never ceases to amaze me...
I am an A cup (barely) and I now only wear sports bras with the removable pads. Before I get a lot of comments, let's just say that it's mostly for the "nippleage"problem, but it doesn't hurt that it gives me a more proportional look. The best bra I have found is the Handful, found right here: http://www.teamestrogen.com/handful/...3-b100201.html
There's a couple of other "A/B" brands that have removable pads, too, but most of them are just too compressive for me. My issue is with the sports tops that have the inner bra thing, like the Terry Eurohalter. I love the top, in fact I have 3 of them, but everything shows. I feel like wearing a strapless bra under it!

I am a 30dd...I just find a sports bra that works for me and I don't worry about the rest. If they can't handle how normal body parts look is sportswear, its their own problem.
I was laughing outloud at some of your responses. LOVE the pic. Ok...I'll just deal with it, but I am going to check out the two sports tops you ladies suggested & see how it goes.
I'm still giggling at the fried eggs moving toward the waist.Thanks for the help!!!!!!
I aspire to be...the best I can be...the best I've ever been!

I look at the photo and realize why you should never take saddle advice from a guy. How could they possibly have any input?

Well, Indy, you make my point. But, overall the Eurohalter covers more skin than most halter type tops and I also can wear them for other activities, like yoga or even running/hiking. The only thing that annoys me is when you put more than one thing in the zip pocket (which is actually quite large), it hangs out below the bottom of the top, when you are riding in the drops at times.
CC, I think maybe the Handful comes in 2 sizes? Maybe I am wrong. I could see how it might fit a small C, if you took the pads out. The band is very stretchy. I don't feel like it is too big, but it definitely does not feel tight like all of my other sports bras. I have really sensitive, allergic type skin and I always get the red band around where any elastic is, no matter how little there is. The Handful minimizes this as much as possible.

I like the Eurohalter, too, for it's coverage. It's actually my favorite cycling top. I prefer the fabrics they use that are a print, rather than a solid, because they provide a little distraction.
I'm generally a modest person, but I don't get too concerned about nipplage, at least not during workouts. If they show, they show. It's no big secret that I have breasts with nipples. I otherwise wear a lightly padded bra that keeps me modest in other settings.

That photo is awesome.
Headlights don't bug me. I look for a workout bra that will keep me from bouncing uncomfortably too much. Padding doesn't really factor into it.
I love the Title 9 "Super Lace" bra (aka Moving Comfort)
The size is slightly off from Natori or DKNY or the size I wear according to Nordstrom (36 DD vs. 38 C) but when you hold the Super Lace up to those bras, they are exactly the same despite the different size designations.
NO help for headlights, I mean NONE, but as a DD, I really find that headlights are not the issue anymore. (once I lose the 50lbs of stress weight I gained, I'll be back in my older padded bras anyway, and it won't matter. Or my CWX, which are the only bras I've ever found that weren't padded AND controlled headlights: http://www.teamestrogen.com/search.e...form-submit=go )
If you prefer to wear bras that are not padded, but have issues with headlights, I strongly suggest getting the CWX bras through Team Estrogen.

If it bothers you, you can always just place a cotton disk in your bra. They are like flattened cotton balls, sold in drugstores. Easy, cheap, effective.
This is pretty much my opinion on things - I have armor piercers though - I gave up worrying about nipplage the day they insisted on showing through no less than FOUR layersMost of the time they are not that stubborn, I must have been really cold that day
I am glad this topic came up again, I have been pondering some choices for this reason as well.
You know, I am generally NOT a modest person at all. But the nipple showing thing really bothered me when I belonged to a gym. Now that I do my working out at home, it's not an issue, although it does come up once in awhile when I am riding or running.
