7 Rad Nipple Pasties To Experiment With

I've recently been feeling especially sex and body positive, and have been trying to find ways to celebrate my nude bod. So when I came across a huge selection of fun nipple pasties at a random sex shop in Manhattan last month, I became enthralled with the idea of dressing up my nipples with some seriously adorable (not to mention incredibly sexy) accessories.

My fascination with nipple pasties stems from a personal and individual place. Even though I know they could be great for mutual enjoyment in the bedroom (I'm sure they're a cutely innovative way of enticing your cutie), I have grown invested in getting a pair purely for the body positivity and empowerment of it all. I want to take precious nude photos of myself wearing them, feeling free and totally comfortable along the way. And when I feel bold enough, I'd even love to wear them under a sheer or open top.

Whatever your reason for exploring the world of accessorizing your nips — whether it be for body positive reasons, to spice up your sex routine, to accentuate your nipples in an outfit, or simply out of curiosity — here are some of the cutest ones on the Web.
