Highlights: The new bra in Kim Kardashian’s lingerie range, with its “daring” raised nipple detail, goes on sale on Halloween, but not, I think, because the effect she’s going for is “scary”. The sales pitch is “No matter how hot it is, you will always look cold”, but I’m not sure “cold” is the look she’s really after, either; the word “perky” has also been floated. Kim is offering you the chance to look permanently turned on, by everything. You could be ambling along with nothing on your mind but a knotty Wordle and half a to-do list, and thanks to the Skims perky bra, sprinkle random erotic charge all over everything. Would this make your day better, or worse? Hard to say, but definitely different.

It really bothers me that standard human anatomy is so sexualised like this. Pointy nipples are not a sign you're turned on.

All this equivalency does is invite harrassment and gross behaviour, there is no upside.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 15 points 10 months ago

I was going to say.

Do people think that nipples are like penises, in that regard?

But I suppose any news article like this is supposed to draw people in with sensationalism and, just.. really shitty tactics, I guess.

[-] hh93@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Not even penises are like that (even if the correlation is stronger)

A guy can be hard but not turned on and a guy can be soft while really horny

It's not 100% related

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 6 points 10 months ago

I have a penis and I can confirm it's true.

[-] Luke_Fartnocker@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I've always called nipples "melon peckers". I guess that wasn't an accurate term.

[-] jmd_akbar@aussie.zone 28 points 10 months ago

Thanks to this article, I got reminded to port over the rest of my "blocked words" list :D

[-] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 26 points 10 months ago

And when it really does get chilly, people are trying not to stare at your four nipples.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Over-nippled.

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 26 points 10 months ago

What? Kim Kardashian doing something utterly tasteless and trashy? Never.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 months ago

omg no. I specifically buy bras that do NOT show this. To each their own, but personally it makes me feel so uncomfortable if I notice that’s going on.

[-] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 9 points 10 months ago

I once went to work with no bra after recently getting a tattoo on my back and trying to let it heal. I wore 3 layers, including a thick fleece vest, and you could still see my nipples through it all. Ended up going home and putting a bra on. :|

bras are supposed to hide nipples not add two fake ones

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Well apparently this one wants it to appear as if they are not.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 20 points 10 months ago

Am I barking up the wrong tree here, but isn't this like, the hypersexualisation of women that I keep hearing about? Being perpetuated by.. a woman, who will sell loads of these to her adoring woman fans...

This is very strange to me.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 28 points 10 months ago

Women aren't a hivemind. Some women are fully onboard with hypersexualisation...

[-] PeachMan@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

There's a difference between men objectifying women, and women being sexual in their own way. We CAN avoid the former while allowing the latter.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Dolla dolla bill

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago

That is the exact opposite look most bra wearers go for.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

When I was in high school I had a girlfriend who had the brilliant idea to cut a hole in the bra cup so her nipples would be more visible. Didn't realize she was such a visionary.

who's kim kardashian

She's the protagonist of Tolkien's 1937 novel "The Hobbit".

We should always support new inventions. Not everything you think is silly is actually bad. I for once welcome this new bra.

Guys... it's just a bra.

[-] TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Username tangentially relevant?

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago
  1. This is not a new invention
[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

These already exist tho...

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

Did we learn nothing from the Batnipples debacle?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Is that Kim in the picture? If so, she's completely unrecognizable now. She's had so much surgery that she looks nothing like her actual self.

[-] RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago

In the 80s, I think, someone else marketed a bra exactly like this. I don't remember it catching on.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Human garbage introduces trash product...

She's a waste of carbon.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Can somebody please remind her that bullet bras were a thing? cause tbh I would be fully onboard with those making a comeback

[-] MudMan@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Whatever one thinks of this, we all owe Joel Schumacher an apology.
