I often sacrifice good fit in a bra for one that has enough padding to hide the high beams I have developed in the last few years. I HATE the high beams.
How are they annoying. Do they cause nipple chafing (being a runner and seeing all those men with bloody nipples leads me to ask this question). Can you feel them in there all day long?

When I was an 18 year old freshman in college, I lived with my aunt for one semester. She was going to a fancy party and had a dress that she couldn't wear a bra with (this was also 1971, so I don't think she wore a bra at all). About an hour before she and my uncle had to leave, she was in a panic because of the headlight effect. So, I got sent to the drugstore to buy some kind of tape for her to use... I swear, I will never forget this, because I was so amazed that she was worried about this.

I have always had high-beams, and I hate it. All my bras are padded/contour, same with my bathing suit tops. I can't buy anything I can't wear a real bra with. I love the idea of these concealers on occasion so I could actually wear a little cami with a shelf bra and no real bra. I'm not that large so could get away with it in casual situations if I could lose the high beams (and mine care naught about the temperature out. 95 degrees? Check!)
Those of you without high-beams have NO idea!![]()

I have always had this issue and didn't realize some people don't. Padded sports bras are a blessing for this reason alone, let alone making me look like I actually have a bust line.
But, if you have to wear this product with a bra, what good would they do me when I am wearing a sports top with a shelf bra? Something that sticks to my skin would work better. I have taken to wearing a strapless bra under my regular camis with shelf bras. I *do* wear my Terry Eurohalters quite frequently for running and yoga, as well as cycling and I try not to think about it... hoping the pattern on these tops obscures the headlights.

Headlights seem to matter to only some nations in this world and I'm happy I don't live in one of them....
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Haha! My ex used to say they were so pointy they could cut glass! I'm getting to a point where for the most part, I've stopped caring. I wear a bra. If they point, they point. I have boobs. Get over it.
Be yourself, to the extreme!
I think it has nothing to do with self-confidence. This topic is just not present in some countries, you don't need "self-confidence" to ... have nipples (?) in those countries. I never even thought about this at all.
To be honest, I'm quite happy too that I don't have to worry about my nipples or the lines of my underwear showing through clothes. And I don't mean this in a "patronizing" way at all. It sounds really stressful to think about all those things!
I wonder if this is something "new" that came up in the last few years in your country? Or something you grew up with? (I hope it's not a "trend" that will affect me at some point. I wouldn't like to go through such hazzle.)
However...I really don't want to see their high beams at work.I used to work with a gal who had large breasts and wore "soft cup" bras that did nothing to conceal them. It was very distracting...and I can only imagine what the men thought! She wasn't wearing anything "sexy", just normal tops, but it's hot here in the south, so we don't wear jackets to work. As such, I don't want to reveal all to my co-workers, and I don't want them to reveal all to me either.

thanks for answering that. I think I'm going to try a pair. I can't tell you how many times I've wished for something like this (and even tried to make my own with no luck).![]()
