So… do you actually feel when they “come on” or do you not know until you look down?
In case you’re wondering, by headlights I mean nipples.
I’m having such a problem with mine lately.
To answer the OP, usually I do but sometimes I don’t. Mine are just out of control these days. It’s really embarassing. I’ve been crossing my arms in front of my chest lately to prevent even more stares than normal.
is there no pre-emptive remedy for that? not that i’m advocating one, mind you.
Only if they’re chafing against something or if I’m straight-up horny. However, if it’s because of cold temperatures or slight friction from clothing (or some other innocuous event), then I’m not likely to notice.
Most of the time, yes. If they’re only at half-mast I might not be aware of it, but when they’re full on perky, yeah, I can feel it.
Men have headlights too, y’knooow…They’re just smaller.
Do you know when yours are on?
Hmmmmm???
:dubious:
Not to hijack, but I remember when I first heard that expression. I was taking swimming lessons and my dad and I were checking out my attractive swim instructor as she was giving another lesson.
Dad: Hey her headlights are on
Incubus: Her what is on? 
Dad: whisper whisper whisper
Incubus: :eek:
much ogling ensues
I have observed that women with poky nipples often excuse themselves to the bathroom, and when they return they are fine. When I asked what exactly they are doing, some women replied they simply press their (warm) hands on them and the nipples go down.
nope, never notice till I catch sight of them …they’re off at the mo’ 
It’s a good thing I wasn’t driving when you said that.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
Is it just having them showing, or is this about lactation.
At which point all the men who heard them say that excuse themselves to the bathroom
I thought we were over this whole embarrassment about nipples thing. I mean, they put erect nipples on manniquines now. Why worry about making them go away?
Plus, I’m not sure that method would work if it one was horny rather than cold. (Although that might be a reason for wanting them to go away, maybe you don’t want him to know that yet :))
This is a MAJOR problem for me. My office is frequently quite cold, and I don’t have enough padded bras to hide them for every day of the week. If you notice a lot of women walk around your office with their arms crossed, they may very well be hiding perky nips.
To answer the question, yes, I do know when they’re on. And no, I can’t take any pre-emptive action to prevent it. If I could, I would.
Ah. Forgot to say – there’s a name my sister gave me for my condition: Nips Ahoy.
A friend of mine uses duct tape to control her ever-perky nips; a throwback to her modeling days.
Yeah, especially when they’re on high-beams. My office is fairly cold. I usually have multiple layers on, which usually helps, but not always. I don’t really care anymore. And hell if I’m going to wear a padded bra to minimize the impact - I’m already a D-cup and that’s big enough.
A friend of mine had to use band-aids for about a year after her breast augmentation.
Apparently they’ve subsided somewhat since.
I’ve got to repeat that this whole nipple-phobia thing has gone too far. I’ve got pretty perky ones myself, but why should I go out of my way to make it look like I don’t have any? It’s not like people don’t know we have them. We’re not fooling anyone into thinking that we actually are Barbie dolls.
porc, we have just got to meet someday.
The only time I’m sure their ‘on’ is when it’s cold as most have already said, but men look at you breasts whether they are ‘on’ or ‘off’ so it doesn’t matter.
