12 Nipple Pasties That Are Functional & Sexy AF

by Braelyn Wood

When it comes to building out your lingerie lineup, nipple covers tend to be the last item in the underwear drawer. Between finding the perfect nude to match your skin tone and determining the ideal shape for your nipple, shopping for the best breast petals can be almost as difficult as finding the perfect bra.

On top of that, there are so many different nipple covers for different uses, too. Some people use nipple pasties as a way to embrace body positivity, while others opt to use them in place of traditional bras. And while everyone wants their pasties to be adhesive, the other requirements for breast petals change drastically from person to person.

Luckily, relying on the limited selection of pasties in the pharmacy aisle is a thing of the past. There are a plethora of options online for shoppers hoping to expand their selection of unmentionables. Whether you want to invest in a luxurious hypoallergenic set of nipple covers to sport under a skimpy dress or simply want to use sequined pasties as a form of empowerment like Miley Cyrus, the Internet has your back.

Here you’ll find the best breast petal options on the web— from discreet options to sets that you'll want to show off.
