QUESTION: Can this product be washed and reused? How much wear use can I get from these covers?
ANSWER: This product can be laundered by hand-washing with cool water and mild detergent. The life of these nipple covers depends on how frequently they are worn and laundered. Some product users report at least partial product disintegration after just a few wearings if these covers are laundered after each use. Other users have gotten as much as fifty wears from a single pair.
QUESTION: Will the color and outline of these covers show through sheer clothing?
ANSWER: Nippie covers are made with patented ultra-thin Invisifeel(TM) silicone that molds to breasts without visible lines or “ridges”. The cover has a matte finish that prevents light from reflecting on it through sheer material. Wearers have three color options (light, medium, dark) with this cover that cause covers to blend in with the wearer’s skin tone. Depending on exterior clothing worn, the cover outline is sometimes visible, but no more so than that of an ordinary bra.
