Nippies
UNDERCOVER: To Christine Benidt and Danielle Beck, the co-founders of Los Angeles–based Nippies, fashionable lingerie doesn’t stop at bras and underwear. Nippies brings sassy style into functional nipple covers.
Benidt and Beck spent two years developing Nippies and testing the top medical adhesives in combination with stretchy lace, nylon and satin fabrics so that the covers form seamlessly to the shape of the breast.
“We wanted to incorporate lingerie fabrics versus paper or silicone, which as an intimate apparel item wasn’t very appealing,” said Benidt, comparing Nippies to other nipple covers in the market.
