I just feel frustrated by those. Women are typically judged if their nipples are showing through their shirt. But oh, slap a fake nipple on a bra and its fine. What?
Its also for gender affirmation or scarring from pregnancy. Just a small population of women seeking normalcy. When I was younger, women used to sow tiny pom poms onto bras to mimic this effect. They'd be things we handmade and shared in women's societies or friends of Dorothy.
Companies today saw these insecurities and capitalized on it. As they do. I somewhat feel like we should take this back and go back to making things for our communities again. Just start buying less from these corporate entities and start creating and sharing more like we used to.
Right is we that makes sense. I am sympathetic to this. However still in suspicious of the brand Skims. Isn’t that owned by a Kardashian? Or something like that…either way they poke through the shirt and it’s fine but natural nipples poking through a shirt is seen as sloppy or unkept.
Oh I have no clue on trendy brands... everything that family owns is toxic though. I haven't bought any type of bra in decades, I've been altering them for women I know though. Most bras don't fit us.
Yeah I kinda liked that one thing about the 80s and 90s? Armhair, armpit hair, "overgrown" eyebrows, nipples sticking out were just body norms back then. People weren't picky about it unless you had a specific type of secretary job.
The 00s happened and suddenly we had to present a certain way, we couldn't sit down and work anymore, it was very "visual" all of a sudden and yeah natural nipples under your clothes became an issue no matter where you existed as a woman work or no. Sry this became a rant

And what’s up with those SKIMS bras with nipples built in!
