First off I feel very weird writing a review for this product BUT it’s been such a game changer for me that, despite feeling awkward, I wanted to write a review. I have a ridiculously small chest, I wear a 32AA but if the size existed I’d honestly fit better in a 28-30AA. Therefore I have an EXTREMELY hard time finding any real bra that fits me well and what does fit the best is sports bras. Unfortunately most sports bras don’t really have enough padding to conceal the outlines of this part of the breast (unfortunately with being a very small bust size I feel as though it just makes it even more noticeable) especially with any semi-tight top and there is nothing I hate more than having it show even slightly. For most of my life I’ve just avoided tops that are tighter but with a recent wardrobe change it became unavoidable and I needed some lighter browns which made the whole situation worse. So I decided to give this a try. I am so so so glad I did! It gives me enough coverage that even with a lightly padded sports bra I can still wear a more form fitting lighter colored top. They last all day (even in the height of summer and being outside in the sun all day and being fairly sweaty). I’ve reused the same pair multiple times and the adhesive despite numerous times hand washing. To ensure a good firm stick I do take a witch hazel toner over the area to remove any lotion, I’m not sure it is necessary to do that but I just want to make sure they stay put. I have very sensitive skin and despite the great grip it never bothers me! The only thing I kind of dislike is that if you sweat when you remove these there will be a dampness to the skin and covers BUT the dampness never ever leaks or shows and it never causes any kind of a rash or reaction on me. In fact the first time I used these was on a 90° day and after 6 hours outside and being hot dressed up in my Ren Faire clothes I was completely taken by surprise when I did remove them and discovered it was slightly damp, so you really can’t tell. I’m personally not a person that sweats much so my sweating in those conditions is much less than most people so perhaps someone else would have a different experience with these. The lack of sweating also means body odor really isn’t something I really worry about (I mean I use deodorant because you should not because I actually need to and that’s about the extent of my worry) but even with that dampness there was no odor. So for me that one things I’m not fond of is totally endurable because this product allows me to wear so many more tops with less self-consciousness! I have no idea if these are better or the same as cheaper brands because this was the first I tried and it worked so well I don’t plan on switching! I even swam with these once and they stayed on all day. I play volleyball, catch, frisbee, etc in the pool and don’t often dunk and swim a ton so if you swam submerged for hours I have no idea if they’d stay but for my activity that includes some dunking these things didn’t budge! I only got to try them once but this is going to allow me to wear a lot of bikini tops I would have avoided before! Seriously, life changing!

I'm a small B-cup and don't really need a bra, and find bras uncomfortable. So, I bought my first pair of adhesive Nippies back in January. I have worn them nearly every day since then, and for me, they have been about as perfect as a product could be.

Comfort: They're extremely comfortable -- so comfortable, in fact, that I occasionally forget to take them off before going to sleep because I forget they're there. I was afraid that the adhesive might irritate my skin, but it hasn't at all. They stay on very well and are easy to wash after use (I use plain old soap and water).

Coverage: The coverage they provide is remarkably good, given how extremely thin they are. I can wear a form-fitting white tee-shirt with just the Nippies underneath, and my nipples aren't visible. I recently tried one other brand of nipple covers (Spicy Spot) because they were less expensive, and although they were thicker than Nippies, they were almost completely transparent and my nipples were quite visible under light-colored shirts. So in terms of how well they do their job, Nippies have definitely been worth the money for me. I love not having to worry about bra straps showing!

Lifespan: As I said, I wore my first pair almost every day for 3+ months, so my estimate is that they've lasted about 100 wears. They have just now gotten to the point where enough of the adhesive has worn away that I can't wear them with looser shirts (though they're still fine with more form-fitting shirts, which hold them in place). I just ordered my second pair.

It definitely took a little while to get used to not wearing a bra (I felt naked at first!) but I've come to trust the Nippies and I am so much more comfortable every day now. I no longer have to experience that awful mid-afternoon feeling of an underwire pressing into my ribs. It would be nice if they were a little cheaper, but I guess 25 cents (or less) per wear isn't so much to pay for all-day comfort. I've been really happy with this product.

****UPDATED 5/5/2011****

Just wanted to add that, although I purchased my next pair back in March (at the time I wrote this review), I didn't end up having to break out the new pair until yesterday -- I was able to keep using my old pair in spite of the fact that adhesive was coming off from the edges. There was still enough adhesive to make them stay on, and I tend to wear clothes that are slightly (though not extremely) form-fitting which has kept them laying flat even though the edges weren't really sticking to my skin anymore. Only when they stopped being able to stick to my skin did I have to ditch them for the new pair. So if you are someone who wears clothes that mostly conform to your body shape, you may find that you can make them last a long time (for me it was four months of almost everyday wear, which equates to over 100 uses).

****UPDATED 4/2/2012****

I've continued to love and rely on my Nippies on an almost daily basis, and I'm now on my 5th pair. Thought I would add this: the last pair I got aged a little weirdly (the adhesive did a peeling thing and overall they felt a little flimsier), and when I emailed Bristols 6 about it, I got a lovely, appreciative response from a customer service representative who promptly sent me a new pair (which seem to be normal so far). It was some of the best customer service I've ever received -- this is the kind of company you want to support!

Being a mom and having SLIGHTLY saggy boobs in a size B. These have been absolutely wonderful. I was cautious at first because I’ve tried others and they felt weird or weren’t sticky. I wear a lot of white shirts that don’t look well with either no bra or even a nude bra. These are seriously amazing hands down. They’re sticky, comfortable and feel like I’m not wearing anything

I got these to try out because I recently purchased some new bras that are not padded; just thinly lined. I had hoped with this horrid summer heat and humidity the unpadded bras would not get so damp from me sweating. The problem with the unlined bras is nipple show through so, after reading about various products in this category, I tried these.

They are simple to apply and come in a rather sturdy flip-top case that can be used to keep them clean and in shape. Upon arrival they have tissue-like paper against the adhesive part and each is set on top of a thin plastic domed form for keeping them separated and in proper shape. To apply, I peeled away the tissue paper, placed the product adhesive side up in the center of my palm, leaned over and applied it, holding it in place a second or two as instructed so body heat helps adhere the adhesive to skin. It was smooth and flat without any wrinkles or puckers. That was at 4am this morning when I got dressed. It was pretty much invisible and I must admit, once I put my bra in place I could not tell I was wearing them. I could tell, however, that I had no peek-through or poke-through of my bra or my thin summer tank top. That is until I stopped in the grocery store and got to the frig/freezer sections. By the time I got out of that section of the grocery store, nothing short of a patio brick would have stopped my show through so if that is the reason you're looking at these, I'm not sure they will be the cover you desire.

One thing I would like to mention is that the instructions advise not to wear these longer than 6-8 hrs/day. That seems weird to me unless a woman plans on removing them half-way through her day somehow and somewhere. If that is the case, why bother with them at all? I don't know any woman who is going to be up and dressed early in the morning like me to head out to work and deal with family and have to remember to remove these things a few hours later, stick them back on their little domed forms to keep them in shape, and then tuck them in her purse. Anyway, I put them on at 4am this first day, and it is now 4 pm and I just remembered to take them off. They came off easily and I'll be hand washing them promptly and air drying as instructed. I'm not one to go braless even though I do have tank tops with those shelf bras inside them. I just don't like that look for myself but smaller busted women may just be able to get away with it using these in those types of tops successfully.

They are expensive for not being able to wear them from morning to night, but my first experience with them was quite positive. I'm sure I'll be using them all summer while I'm wearing my unpadded bras for comfort as I really didn't notice these even once today while wearing them. I didn't notice anything else either if you follow my drift here. I may even get a second pair, even at this expense, to rotate them for daily use. After my brief encounter with the cold areas in the grocery store, I am not so sure these would solve the problem of show through in a bathing suit but they might minimize that problem a bit.

I am a DDD and so a padded bra kind of goes against the whole point of trying to draw as little attention to my boobs as possible, so the nipple thing has ruined MANY a picture, and made me feel completely self-conscious a million times over. I work from home, so it hasn't really been an issue work-wise for the last 10 years, but I've recently started a part-time job in a professional setting, so something needed to be done, and since Amazon is the answer to most of my questions, it once again did not disappoint.

I love these things. Love. I have been wearing them every day since I purchased them a couple of weeks ago, and most days I forget they're in until I am getting ready for bed. They stay exactly where I put them, they do not bunch up or pinch me or move around at all, and are completely not noticeable. They have solved a lifelong problem for me . After all this use, they are still sticky, and I have only had to wash them once and that was because I dropped one on the floor and retrieved it with some wayward cat hair. It was only about two days later that dust and lint were starting to collect because of the cat hair that I followed the directions and washed with a pump of hand soap and flapped them dry and put them away. They seem to be flattening out a little, but they are still as sticky as ever, and the slight flattening doesn't affect them in any way. I make sure to store them in the (very nice, sturdy) case, in the cups as instructed. I see these lasting quite a while longer, and even then, for the price, I would happily buy them again and feel like I got my money's worth.

Like i said, I'm a DDD and i got the size 2 for D+ and they are actually larger than what I probably would have picked, although that probably helps them stay put. Another reviewer suggested leaning over and letting your nipple kind of fall into them. I put my bra on first and then free my boobs one at a time and kind of hold it against me, nipple up and rounded, and then kind of center the pasty and slap it on and then put my boobs back in my bra. I do this because I don't want to risk fussing around getting my bra on after I've put them on, for fear of disturbing them and possibly pinching myself (although that's not happened yet). The whole process takes about 5 seconds.

Get them. you won't regret it. The sizing is spot on, and the quality is excellent, and you will never have to worry about entering a cold room again.

These are so comfortable and stay in place!

Also could be very helpful in stopping nursing as it’s so flush to your skin, babe won’t know to remove it they just think nipple is gone!

They're amazing for the first few wears being quite comfortable and the adhesive being strong but the stickness seems to degrade after about a few dozen wears and the edges don't hold anymore so they feel very awkward floating around my breasts. They're still usable, but feel uncomfortable now.

I'm not sure how others managed to keep them sticky 4+years. I didn't wear them daily but sweat alot so maybe that contributed to the stickness fading. If they were a bit cheaper or lasted longer, I would probably consider getting them again but I don't think they're worth it

I wear a size G bra. I got the D+ size nippies. I didn't have much hope because I realized they probably weren't meant for my size.

It did lift them about an inch and a half. That was amazing! However, because of the size of the breast it didn't quite look right under a shirt.

I can't wait till they create a version for my size! I was very impressed with what it did do!

I didn't keep them on long so I don't know about the hold but based on how they felt when I moved around putting on a dress and then when I took them off, I bet they hold pretty well for someone they actually fit.

This is the best sticky bra I have ever owned. It is truly magic. Do not hesitate to buy this

Muy buena calidad de producto.

Tes agréable à porter, invisible sous un t shirt moulant, tient bien

entretient très facile

je recommande ce produit , dommage ne ne pas l'avoir trouvé bien avant

These nipple covers are the best I’ve used. Well worth the investment over the cheap disposable petals you can get online. They also come in a lovely box and have plastic things to help keep their shape. They stick well and stay in place. I’m very impressed.

Das Material fühlt sich sehr hochwertig an. Es ist formstabil und passt sich, zumindest meinen Konturen, sehr gut an.

Der "Kleber" hält sehr flächig und es hat sich nichts gelöst während dem Tragen. Die Nippies stören auch nicht beim Tragen.

Das Reinigen ist durch einfache Seife und Wasser erledigt.

Und das wichtigste...unter meinen Tops (lose bis leicht anliegend), vor allem auch weißen, war es nicht zu sehen.

Und auch die Brustwarzen haben sich nicht abgezeichnet.
