Nipple Covers: 3 Tips To Find Your Perfect Skin Tone in NZ
A Wardrobe Essential
Picture this: you’ve finally found the perfect outfit—maybe a silky camisole or a backless dress—but you’re worried about bra lines or see-through fabric. Enter the discreet hero: nipple covers. Getting the right colour and finish can make all the difference in achieving a natural, seamless look. Below are three straightforward tips to help you pick the perfect shade for your skin tones.
Identify Your Shade Range
When it comes to selecting nipple covers, you’ll often see three main tones: Light, Nude, and Dark. Each category is designed to accommodate a variety of skin tones, but finding your best match doesn’t have to be complicated.
- How to Determine Your Ideal Match: Head to any of our product pages and open a picture of our nipple covers. Hold your arm against the screen and see which out of the 3 colours is closest.
- Why It Matters: Getting as close to your skin tone as possible ensures the covers stay discreet beneath thin or semi-sheer fabrics. If the shade is too dark or too light, it might show through, defeating the purpose entirely.
Opt For Non-Reflective, Matte Finishes
If the surface of your nipple covers is shiny or reflective, there’s a risk of catching the light—a situation nobody wants when wearing delicate or form-fitting clothing.
- No Unwanted Shine: Matte finishes blend more smoothly under all sorts of garments, from everyday T-shirts to evening wear.
- Versatility Under Any Lighting: If you happen to be somewhere with bright lighting or flash photography, a non-reflective surface will keep everything discreet.
- Extra Thickness In The Centre: Look for covers that are slightly thicker around the nipple area and taper at the edges. This “second skin” effect helps them lie flat while still providing adequate coverage.
When we started nip stories, we made sure that our nippys check all the above boxes. Our adhesive nipple covers also have a nipple protector in the middle for extra comfort.
Mind The Build & Fit
Comfort is just as important as appearance, so pay attention to how the covers are built.
- Thickness Matters: A thicker centre masks any visibility, while thinner edges ensure the covers transition smoothly onto the skin without creating a ridge or bump.
- Longevity & Durability: Properly crafted silicone covers stay secure throughout the day without causing irritation. If you clean and store them properly, they’ll last multiple wears, offering excellent value for money.
Conclusion
Achieving a smooth, confident look with nipple covers is all about selecting the right shade, opting for a matte finish, and finding well-constructed covers that fit comfortably against your skin. When done right, they should look natural, feel almost weightless, and give you the freedom to wear what you love without worrying about bra lines or fabric transparency.
