Nipple Covers vs Nipple Pasties: What’s the Difference and Which Should You Choose?

When it comes to going braless with confidence, two small but powerful accessories dominate the conversation: nipple covers and nipple pasties. While they may sound similar—and are often confused—their design, purpose, and feel are quite different. At Jolene, we’re here to help you understand the difference so you can make the right choice for your wardrobe, body, and lifestyle.

Let’s break it down.

What Are Nipple Covers?

Nipple covers, like the ones we create at Jolene, are designed to be invisible, seamless and second-skin comfortable. Think of them as your discreet styling secret—perfect for wearing under sheer tops, tight dresses, or anything that calls for a smooth, natural silhouette without the bulk of a bra.

Jolene nipple covers are made from ultra-thin, medical-grade silicone, with a gentle adhesive that keeps them in place from morning to night. They’re sweat-resistant, waterproof and reusable up to 25 times—making them a sustainable and stylish choice.

Available in four inclusive skin tones, Jolene nipple covers blend in effortlessly, offering the subtle, polished look you want when your outfit demands minimal interference.

What Are Nipple Pasties?

Nipple pasties are typically decorative and designed to be seen. Often adorned with sequins, tassels or bold colours, they’re commonly used for burlesque, festivals or intimate wear. While they do provide coverage, their purpose is more performative than practical.

Pasties are great when you’re making a statement—but if you’re looking for comfort, discretion and daily wearability, nipple covers are the clear winner.

Which One Should You Choose?

It all comes down to purpose. If you’re looking for discreet coverage that stays put under your clothes, nipple covers are your go-to. They’re perfect for:

• Wearing under formal dresses, slip tops or backless outfits
• Avoiding visible bra lines or straps
• Hot days when you want to ditch the bra but still feel supported
  

If you’re dressing for a performance, a themed party, or want to add flair to your lingerie look, then nipple pasties might be the right fit.

But for everyday wear? Jolene nipple covers are the ultimate wardrobe essential.

Why Jolene?

At Jolene, we believe fashion should be empowering and fuss-free. That’s why we created Jolene nipple covers—to give women the freedom to wear whatever they want, however they want, without compromising on comfort or confidence.

They’re lightweight, reusable, and thoughtfully packaged in a sleek case that fits neatly in your handbag or carry-on. Whether you're getting ready for a night out, dressing for a wedding, or just lounging at home, Jolene nipple covers are your invisible best friend.
