[The Nipple Bra.](http://poorlydressed.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/129169813701386551.jpg?w=450&h=492) Pretty much just like it sounds - a bra with nipples on the outside so you always have perky nipplage showing up under your shirt. Would you wear this? I think this is an old ad, but it wouldn’t be too hard to make something like this, if you really wanted to. ---

God no. When I worked at the adult webstore, we sold rubber nipples which were supposed to give the same effect. I don’t get it. ---

No. My real nipples are always hard anyway. ---

I wouldn’t, but I can see a good use case for it. My sister had a double mastectomy and reconstruction - but the reconstruction left her with “barbie boobs.” The level of indiscretion in that add is a little much, but I might go for it if I had barbie boobs and wanted a sensual look - maybe for date night with the hubby. ---

Never. My nipples are always sticking out, one at a time mind you, and it’s very embarrassing. ---

I probably wouldn’t wear it. It’s hard to get one in the right proportions for a guy in his forties. ---

I went with ?? since I don’t understand the point. Maybe that’s because my main problem is getting my nipples NOT to show. I think it looks tacky as hell and it’s the main reason I wear padded bras and avoid certain types of thin fabric. I’m a big fan of breasts, both mine and others, but pointy nipples just don’t do it for me. I assume this is some kind of kinky thing and not for everyday wear but then why would you be wearing a bra in the first place…?! :smack: ---

No. This doesn’t make sense to me. I’m pretty flat chested, so half the reason I wear a bra at all is to avoid visible nipples. ---

Oh hell no. I agree with Tanaqui, showing nippleage in public is something to be avoided. > [@Tanaqui](#): > > I don’t understand the point.

> [@NinetyWt](#): > > Oh hell no. I agree with Tanaqui, showing nippleage in public is something to be avoided. I agree! I am modest. Why buy the bra if you can get the effect for free? Only a hootchie or a streetwalker would wear this! Maybe some of the women that attend bike week and get all sleazed up for the men? Men I wouldn’t touch with a 50 foot pole that is. 😉 I swear our culture is going to leave nothing left for the imagination. The reason we wear bras is so guys can imagine us without one. :smack: ---

So you’re wearing this bra and the faux nipples are directly over your own nipples. Your nipples become hard, do they then look like double decker nipples? Even weirder if you’re own nipples become offset from the bra nipples and your own nipples get hard. People will be calling you 4-nipples. ---

That ad is from the 70s, right? The font looks 70s-ish. The “natural” look was in back then, and apparently it was natural for things to hang low and be pointy. Watch any 70s television show and look for the ditzy blonde character. There will be no bra. ---

Did I read that ad right? $2000 for a _bra_? ---

If I want more attention paid to my chest, I can go with an unlined bra (or no bra) instead of investing in a bra with built-in nipples. ---

I’m pretty sure it says $20.00, not $2000. It looks like an ad from the early 70’s. > [@SP2263](#): > > People will be calling you 4-nipples. Udderly ridiculous. ---

Well, if you had some kind of nipple shield in it, the point would be mooot. ---

> [@FloatyGimpy](#): > > Never. My nipples are always sticking out, one at a time mind you, and it’s very embarrassing. Well, that’s…different. What do you do about it, give the other one a little pinch and say, “Pay attention!”? ---

Apparently y’all are right, it’s [from 1979](http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2007/03/make_everyone_s.html). I guess it woud be useful for those who wanted the “bra-less” look while still having breast support. ---

I voted no. My problem, like several other posters, is the opposite. ---
