No need for a bra with Nippies
When one of my esteemed editors sent me a package of silicon nipple guards in the mail, I thought she was having a laugh. Then I realized that this product is not a joke. Nippies, $24, are two nude-colored cups that adhere to your skin, using your own body heat, and are intended to keep you from looking too, um, "alert" should you need to go bra-less for whatever reason.
How to buy a bra that fits.
Perhaps the most noticeable and slightly alarming aspects of the Nippies is that they're slightly defeminizing. I mean, now I know what Barbie feels like. Still-and I don't care that Carrie on Sex and the City made bra-strap baring chic-I do have a certain LBD that demands bralessness, and the night I wore them out on the town I felt completely secure. (Not a nip slip in the house!) So laugh all you want, but I'm now officially a Nippie convert (but no, that's NOT me in the photo above).
