Can I Swim with Nipple Covers? The Ultimate Summer Dilemma Solved.

Let’s face it: summer brings sunshine, pool parties, beach getaways... and the eternal question: can I swim with nipple covers? If you’ve ever questioned your bikini’s coverage or cringed at those bulky pads slipping around, you're not alone.

We’ve all been there: the endless battle between feeling confident in your swimwear and not wanting to constantly readjust, hide or “fix” something. At NEATS, we created nipple covers that not only feel like second skin, they fit your life. Including when you’re soaking up the sun.

So, let’s dive into the question: Can you actually swim with NEATS nipple covers?

Short answer: Yes, absolutely.
Long answer: Yes, and here’s exactly how to choose the right pair.

Why Wear Nipple Covers in Swimwear?

First, let’s talk about why you’d even want to wear nipple covers in the water.

• Hate those removable swimsuit pads? (Us too.)
• Want a smooth, seamless look with no visible lines?
• Need coverage without discomfort or bulk?
  

That’s where NEATS come in.

Adhesive vs. Grippy: Which One Should I Use to Swim?

We offer two different types of nipple covers, and both can work for swimming. You just need to choose the right one based on your swimsuit.

1. Adhesive Covers — For Looser or Standard Swimwear

These are your go-to if your bikini or swimsuit is: slightly loose or not extremely tight to the skin. The medical-grade adhesive keeps the covers secure, even after a dip in the ocean or pool. They’re water-resistant and stay in place as long as the skin is clean and dry before application. 

2. Grippy (Non-Adhesive) Covers — For Tight, Fitted Swimwear

Wearing a snug one-piece or a high-compression bikini? Go with the grippy covers. These adhesive-free nipple covers stay put thanks to gentle pressure and body heat activation, making them perfect for tight swimsuits or athletic swimwear.

Because they’re soft, flexible, and silicone-based, they sit smoothly under your swimwear and won’t budge, as long as the suit keeps slight pressure on them. They're also reusable, washable, and ultra-gentle on the skin.

Real Talk: Can They Handle the Water?

Absolutely. Many of our customers swim and live their summer lives with NEATS on. They stay in place, don’t soak up water, and dry super quickly.

Here’s how to get the best results:

• Clean your skin before applying the nipple covers (skip the oils & sunscreen until after)
• Press them gently and evenly for a secure hold and that's it!!

This summer, skip the distractions and just enjoy. Swim, dance, dive, laugh, run, and relax!!
