The Issue: Some outfits just require going braless, and hell, some situations beg for going topless (hello French Riviera!). Once in awhile ya just need a little nipple coverage... because you wanna keep it classy, right?

The Fix: Our expert, NYC Sexuality Educator Amy Levine is a huge fan of Nippies (we're a huge fan of the name), which will help keep you discrete, protect those nipples from chafing (yeah we said it), and make you feel sexy all at the same time.

Levine says, "Made from stretch lingerie fabrics, Nippies provide smooth, wrinkle-free coverage to your nipples, easily forming to the curves of our breasts with simple placement of the fun self-adhesive patches." These waterproof and sweat-proof hypoallergenic adhesives come in a variety of shapes (think stars, hearts, butterflies, etc), sizes (A, B, C) and colors and fabrics (like sequins, animal print, or simply nude) so they are more functional and fashionable than traditional nipple petals (or for your penny pinchers out there, band aids). Plus, it's so much cooler to have a star on your boobage than something that is meant to cover scabs, let's be honest.

You can wear them under clothing when going braless to avoid alerting the world to the fact that you're cold, or just really excited about the new Mad Men. And wearing Nippies might even make you more daring than you think, as Levine says they're "a great way to boost your sexual self-esteem." For the more fearless, you could wear them so that they're visible under a buttoned blazer or sheer clothing. Or you could coordinate waterproof Nippies with a bikini bottom and wear them around the pool (different strokes for different folks, but uh, imagine the tan lines from your star-shaped Nippies...).

Nippies are intended for a single use, but you get two coordinating pairs per pack, which costs about $15 to $16.50. It's recommended you take them off after six to eight hours of use. If you're lookin' to give them a whirl, you can purchase Nippies online or in select local boutiques. Or, you can continue to endure catcalls from construction workers (when are they gonna learn that never works?). It's up to you...
