I think if this trend took of, then some offices would be able to save money on air conditioning.

well... not really a new craze, I think I heard about this being used by various celebs and others about... 3? years ago.

And to think, I've spent all that money on lightly padded bras so I *wouldn't* show through (even when it wasn't cold).

Man, your preaching to the choir with me. Up until recently I had rather small breasts (yay late hormone shift!) and yet I always had that problem despite that. Now especially I have to think about it and anytime I have to wear anything without a bra or with a thin one my first thought when I look in the mirror is "Am I nipple-ey?" And if it's a yes, I find some way to fix it or change. I can't imagine paying money to cause that on purpose! I like my boobs (and others' as well ^^) nicely rounded.

BWAHAHAHA!

Am I the only one who wants to get, like, six of those things, for that she-wolf effect?

You are freaking hilarious, and I happen to think that's the best use for these EVER. :D Thank you.

I'm not sure what to think.

I'm quite sure this is the first thing that comes to mind! :)

Definitely Nipples of Death.

I didn't realise women had a problem making their nipples visible through clothes. If I want "the look" all I need to do is wear a thin bra (or, you know, none at all). I don't even have Breasts of Doom (TM) - not even close - and I show through.

I assume it's harder for women with larger breasts, who generally have less nipple sensitivity and thus less ability to RISE THE NIPPLES on demand.

After spending an embarrassing amount of time in my younger days affixing Band-Aids so that my nipples wouldn't poke out, I don't know what to think, either.

Really. I think I have about 14 different conflicting opinions on this.

After reading the "she-wolf" comment above, though, I do like the idea of getting a set just so I can glue them on in totally the wrong place to freak people out.

I told Sean about that years ago. He has never forgiven me. Ruined nipple watching for him.

Then I told him about jeans that have asses built into them. I think he was going to divorce me for that one.:)

Gini does wonder what happens when you get to second base with someone and have to take the Necco Wafers out from over your tits.

Actually, they might have a pretty valid use in boosting the morale of women who have fought breast cancer:

Otherwise that's pretty damn silly.

I'd be willing to bet the percentage of women who buy these and have had mastectomies are pretty dang small.

dammit.

looking at awfulplasticsurgery led to looking at Ann Coulter led to reading porn.

Damn, Ann Coulter is hot.

I'm not joking. Now, need to control myself long enough to do sociology homework.

As a long time reader of science fiction, you must realize that things like this a inevitable -- people want the power to micro-manage their own appearances to the furthest degree possible.

As a long time reader of science fiction, I remember the idea from "Stand on Zanzibar" 30-odd years ago.

In an episode of Sex and the City, Samantha wore a pair and attracted a man who baby talked about her vagina.

Well, that's a non-selling point to me.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about peoples ridiculous ideas about appearance. There are after all neuticles which " retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering".http://www.neuticles.com/index1.html

Breast accessories

The nipples are back? Madness.

The point of nipples from the female POV isn't to be attractive, they are the core central sensitivity point, the breast G-spot if you will. To harm them in any way, or ruin that connection would be awful!!

When it comes to plastic surgery and fake nipples: I keep thinking of someone's personal account. In 1999 I was in a three-day walkathon to fight breast cancer, and one of the walkers was a woman who'd been a Ford Model, but was diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent a mastectomy, and then got right back into modeling. She was totally kick-ass -- she was cheering other walkers on, she carried a picture of one of her best friends who also had breast cancer, she later ran the New York Marathon. But one night they asked her to get up and speak for the "evening entertainment," and she'd worked out this whole comedic take on some of the stuff she had to do post-mastectomy; the idea of having to go nipple shopping just seemed surreal, but she also got a kick out of them only having been sold in pairs, so she could go to her friend's house afterward and say, "So, I have a spare nipple, you need one?" And there were a couple cases where she was changing clothes during a model shoot and her nipple fell off and skittered across the floor under the other models' feet and she had to go chasing after it ("er, excuse me, that's my nipple under your shoe...")

I want her to tell these other folks off.
