1. I prefer the basic "no bra" approach.
But hey, I'm a guy.

2. Yeah, but nobody had $20 in the 70's
I was making about $3 an hour in the 70's.

9. If I had $20 it went for something far more entertaining than a nipple bra
And that baggie would give a lot of friends an evening of entertainment.

3. A "sensual" look, or a "damn, it's cold" look?

7. i liked this comment at the link:
So what happens when you wear this bra and then you get cold naturally and now you have 4 nipples showing — won’t people think your just a little freaky — or maybe able to wet-nurse a litter of kittens. Now Chandler and his third nipple doesn’t seem so odd!

16. that was my first thought too
cause I guess I'm an excitable person or something, but even with those bras that are supposed to stop the pop from showing... it's embarrassing so I just pretend it's not an issue.

but my immediate thought was that I would look like some alien. lol.

8. Yes I'm that old.
I remember the days of the ten dollar lid.

Yeah College was FUN!

We girls were on the pill for their acne (RIIIGHT!!) and there was no AIDS. You could get crabs, the syph, the clap or chlamydia, but they were all curable.

10. A bra with fake nipples attached?
It looks like something the Japanese would do.

15. So why not just cut a hole out so the real nips can poke through?
Is this so complicated?
