There are several options to consider when looking to cover your nipples while swimming.
Based on the provided reference, one suggestion is:
- Use a well-padded burka to the pool: As stated in the reference, "Use a well padded burka to the pool. That should do the trick!" While this offers full coverage, it may not be practical or desired by everyone.
However, there are many alternative and arguably more practical methods:
-
Swimsuits with built-in padding or cups: Many swimsuits come with padding or sewn-in cups that provide coverage and prevent nipple exposure.
-
Silicone Nipple Covers: These are thin, adhesive silicone discs that stick directly to the nipples. They are discreet and reusable.
-
Adhesive Bandages or Medical Tape: In a pinch, you can use adhesive bandages or medical tape. Make sure to use waterproof versions for swimming.
-
Rash Guards or Swim Shirts: Wearing a rash guard or swim shirt provides full upper body coverage, effectively concealing the nipples. These are especially useful for sun protection too.
-
Thicker Swimsuit Material: Opting for swimsuits made from thicker materials can minimize the appearance of nipples. Avoid thin or sheer fabrics.
-
Consider the water temperature: When you are cold your nipples are much more likely to be visible.
