In an ideal world, we'd never wear a strapless bra again. No hate to them, but with summer finally here, we can't think of a more unappealing undergarment when it comes to tiny-tank-top-and-strappy sundress season. That's why R29's senior writer, Karina Hoshikawa, was intrigued when ads for Cakes, a brand of nipple covers started making rounds on TikTok. So with her wedding festivities and parties scheduled, she set out to put Cakes Grippy Circles, Grippy Triangles, Sticky Circles, and Sticky Triangles, all in the "OG" size and Honey colorway to the test. Ahead, her honest thoughts.
