All types of nipple covers explained
Nipple covers, also known as nipple concealers, are a practical, discreet accessory for women wearing outfits where their nipples might show. They come in different types and sizes – so which should you choose, and what are the benefits? In this blog we explain it all!
Silicone nipple covers
These nipple covers are made from a soft, flexible material: silicone. The pads cover the nipple completely and protect it from rubbing and from showing through.
They stay in place without an adhesive layer, and they're reusable: simply clean them after wearing and use them again. That's why these nipple covers are known for being so long-lasting. Silicone nipple covers are a practical, effective solution.

Breathable nipple covers
These nipple covers are made from breathable materials such as mesh or bamboo. They protect against irritation and rubbing from clothing while still letting your skin breathe. They're especially handy for sport or warm weather, when you sweat easily.
Cotton nipple covers
Also known as disposable nipple covers, these usually have an adhesive layer that sticks to the skin. They often have a 'flower' shape, which makes them easy to stick over your nipple. They offer protection and comfort, but they're usually thinner than silicone nipple covers. These covers are designed for single use and are usually made from soft, absorbent materials such as cotton. They stop your nipples showing through and can also help absorb any nipple discharge. Cotton nipple covers are a solution for any situation where you're worried about visible nipples.
