When they seen feeding babies, they are so natural, so pure, a gift from heaven. But when they are simply seen, then they are dirty, lust-inducing, drive men out of their minds, an affront to civilized society, etc. This lingerie company, which is working so hard to hide the nipples, should have a line called Nipple burqa!

I find it to be discriminatory that men can walk around with shirts off, but the second anyone can see a nipple outlined through a woman's shirt, she's considered slutty. I want to just say that WOMEN HAVE NIPPLES AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.

Secondly... when I had my reconstruction surgery following breast cancer, I opted NOT to have a nipple reconstructed. I did not want the additional surgery. I wanted the reconstruction to help with how I looked in clothes...not how I looked naked. Firstly… if the lingerie company put nipples on the model they would not be able to use it…”too graphic”.
