Do nipples have beauty standards now, too?

Hey guys!

Leave it to Kim K to daze and confuse the internet… and commencement immoderate absorbing conversations. Last week, she announced her newest SKIMS bra: The Ultimate Nipple Bra. And I was instantly similar wait, what?

I earnestly thought the announcement was an SNL skit oregon an April Fool’s joke.

It’s a push-up bra… with faux nipples

This bra has built-in faux nipples to marque it look similar you’re bra-less, but besides similar you inactive person perfectly round, lifted boobs.

The advertisement is hilarious (the publication was really written by comedian Michelle Wolf, but it’s not a joke.

As Kim says, “Some days are hard, but these nipples are harder.”

After watching it astir 3 times and realizing it was real, I had truthful galore thoughts. First, it’s nothing caller for Kim to propulsion the daze origin for the involvement of marketing. I LOVE watching it. But there’s thing concerning astir this that I conscionable can’t shake.

It plays into the assemblage positive, liberating “free the nip” movement, but are we saying that present our real, really acold nips aren’t bully enough? Or is it that our naturally-shaped boobs aren’t desirable capable erstwhile there’s nary bra to enactment them, truthful this bra volition marque it look arsenic though you’re not wearing a bra but inactive person perky, perfectly shaped boobs?

The caption connected 1 of the Skims promo posts virtually says, “A faux nipple brings the wow origin portion innovative cups afloat reshape, augment, and assistance your bust.”

Hmm.

Kim knows however to get radical talking

After speechmaking comments and chatting with the Blogifam, feelings are beauteous mixed connected this. First, we had questions.

“Who’s nipples did they mold to marque this happen? ”

“I already person nipples, wherefore bash I request extra?”

Some are getting the ick similar I did, and immoderate are pointing retired the metallic linings. Like possibly this bra is adjuvant for those who person had a mastectomy!  I tin get connected committee with that.

When chatting with the team, the antithetic perspectives were truthful interesting! And we discovered that thing arsenic elemental arsenic adding fake nips to a bra unfolds A LOT of layers wrong assemblage positivity and fashion. Here are immoderate questions I’ve been reasoning much profoundly about:

Are bras successful wide problematic? Their archetypal intent was to supply enactment and existent method relation but beauty standards person weaved their mode successful implicit time. There is an “ideal” boob signifier according to quality standards that truly isn’t perfect for each boob sizes and assemblage types. Push-up bras are meant for cleavage and immoderate bras person nary intent different than vanity. All of that’s wholly acceptable, truthful possibly the faux nip is acceptable too? Or is it each problematic?

What astir shapewear? If we’re going to knock 1 undergarment that “enhances” however our bodies look (the bra), bash we request to look astatine shapewear successful the aforesaid light? Most of the clip we deterioration shapewear to creaseless and cinch definite assemblage parts.

But if it makes you consciousness amended it’s fine, right? OR bash we consciousness amended due to the fact that our bodies look much similar however nine says they should look?

Where I basal is… deterioration what makes you blessed and makes you consciousness good. I’m not the Ultimate Nipple Bra’s people audience, but I’m not astir to justice anyone who buys and rocks it. BUT I deliberation it’s important to see WHY you privation to acquisition and deterioration it.

And I’m inactive kinda wondering if this is conscionable a selling ploy by SKIMS to get radical talking. If that’s the case, SKIMS wins, again.

What bash you think?!

We indispensable sermon successful the comments! What bash you deliberation astir the Ultimate Nipple Bra?! Is it raising large reddish flags oregon are you into it?
