I’m about to tell you the number one reason that bra wearers in the USA wear bras, and it might surprise you or might seem obvious. The most common reason that people in the USA wear bras is for… modesty. Yep, it’s to cover nips.
Over on my TikTok and Instagram pages, we’ve had long conversations about why that is. Why are North Americans so obsessed with hiding nipples? The answers and debates have been fascinating and are rooted in thoughts on patriarchy, purity, sacredness, and personal choice. Some folks let them free certain times, and cover them up in other circumstances. A lot of folks choose to hide them at places like work, church, or around certain company. Others love letting them loose in all situations. It’s honestly so interesting to think about!
The truth is, whether you choose to free or cover your nipples is completely up to you, and there is no wrong way to support and adorn your body.
As always, I’m here to help you make a loving and informed choice about what you wear over your heart each day. Hurray! In the many years I’ve been fitting folks for bras, and training other empathetic bra fitters, this topic comes up a lot. So below I’ve got some of the very best nipple coverage options for you to buy and try for yourself. Ready for some support? Dive in!
