This time of year is particularly tricky for nipples. In the winter, it's cald everywhere and you dress for it. Not many nipples can show through several layers of clothing. But, when it's hot, we were less clothing. The problem is that when we go into a grocery store or other shop, the thermo is set down to like 60 degrees and then - POP - out the come in all their glory, like it or not.
<Wishing to be there, near that glory, when it POPS>
Well, it appears we do have a couple of people offended by nipples showing through clothing.
I certainly can't help it when it happens to me. I'm gonna have to check on that super-duper boulder holder mentioned earlier. I have a horrid time finding comfortable bras that provide needed coverage and support.
I saw a beautiful Mexican woman feeding her newborn in a cafe' the other day. She was covered, but so relaxed about it, making it very natural seeming and causing no one else to stare or feel noticably uncomfortable. It was nice. Made me wish more women were that comfortable.
Only mothers that have breast fed will understand this but, I actually felt my milk drop for a long time after I stopped breastfeeding if I heard a baby cry or saw another woman breastfeeding. Not that there was milk there any more, but same feeling.
I was involved in an incident on lake Titicaca in Bolivia several years ago where we took a number of women and children off a sinking water taxi. All of them were Quecche or Aymara Indians and several of the women had infants. It was a highly emotional situation, children crying etc. What amazed me is that as soon as the mothers got onto our boat the sat down and began to nurse their infants. It seem to have a calming effect on both mother and child.
Hello there laeknir!
Squiiney, I have one bra which is lined with flexible foam (foam? maybe?). It's light and thin, but it doesn't always do it's job entirely.
I guess if people can be offended by toes, or body hair, or any other thing, they can be offended by nipples.
Doesn't mean I have to understand them.
Doesn't mean you have to accomodate them either.
Yup.
I mean, nope.
I am definitely not going to accommodate the highly groomed eyebrow maniacs, I'm not going to hide my toes, and I'm not wearing something uncomfortable to protect the world from my nipples.
I feel like such a rebel.
I say we just have a National Show Me Your Nipples! Day. We'll all just wear thin tanks and carry ice cubes.
Let's show them nipple protestors we ain't scaird...

We should strive to give them something better to worry about.

Rumor has it black women give chocolate milk. You'd think I'd remember, even after all those years. Could be my mom being 1/4 caucasian canceled out the chocolate.
Rumor? Sounds more like a legend.
are 'camel toes' as offencive to anyone?
hehe.
i think that question killed this thread..
No way....I love a good camel toe just as much as the next guy.
Is that some universal term or something? We all live in different parts of the country and the three of us (Shewolf, husker and I) all know what camel toe is...
I dont like camel toes in jeans,
i like them in slacks.
