We're not sure when this advert dates from – going by the look of it we'd guess sometime in the 70s – but we think the real question here isn't "when" but "WHY?"
As you can see from the text, the purpose of the nipple bra is to allow you to have "that sensual, no-bra look while wearing a bra". It was "the very first bra to have its own built-in nipple" and provide that "cold weather look" all the time.
Yes, that'll definitely get your guy's attention. We'd love to see the look on his face, though, when you take off your top to reveal THE NIPPLE BRA!
Why did this not catch on?

LOL, it’s all a very good point but I do have an explanation for why the bra in the first place. Some women just don’t have that “perky” look when they’re not wearing a bra…the bra creates a “natural” but a much improved shape. But yeah, I’d love to see the guy’s face. “why, you’re not really turned on at all! Hey, I’ve been had!”
I am also a little curious about the $2000 price tag, not to mention the tax and S&H costs. A bit pricey no?
Mandy, I believe that’s 20.00, 1.50, and 2.00, but you can’t see the dots very well as it’s old and greyscale.

Seriously..WHY?!
Thats just weeeird
check out the bottom right corner…it’s patented! Take a look at the abstract for “Brassiere having simulated nipples” at http://bit.ly/3ONoN9
Sooo… if you do go out in the cold and get a little “nippy” will it look like you have four nipples? Enquiring minds want to know…
This may have not caught on, but you CAN buy fake nipples all over the place to stick under your top and provide the same effect.
Here’s a ‘beauty nipple’

And a quick search into Google provides many more brands.
Disturbing, eh?
Why pay money for that, when you could just go bra-less, I scream MARKETING SCAM.
oh I guess most of the guys even gals couldn’t stop staring at it. haha guys are so lucky as so many surprises await them on the street
It’s prob from the fifties, the pointed breast was the biggest thing(old comic books??). It would be like wearing a v-neck instead of a reqular neck line; simply more sexual.
For the classy lady.
Like that episode of SATC with the beauty nipples.
Fun times.. I would feel mortified wearing that!
This was roughly around the time when the trend towards “burning your bras” –a women’s liberty movement– was starting to go into decline; certainly those with smaller chests and needing less support could get away without a bra, however, larger busted women weren’t as able to go without.
Oh dear. There was no “burning your bra” movement, or event, or advocacy. That is an urban legend, pure and simple.
Froggie…
“A quick search into Google… Disturbing eh?”
What’s even more disturbing is that you actually typed that into Google.
