"Headlights" at the gym, do you care?

Rae6503

So I recently switched from baggy cotton T-shirts to tighter "wicking" tanks to help with back-ne (don't judge me). But I've noticed this means the headlights are out in full force especially once that cold squat bar hits my bare shoulders. I also work out in a college gym with 20 year old nerds. I find myself standing with my arms folded a lot...

Would I care? No. Would I stare? Probably.

But I'd be subtle like about it...

Always good to know the ambient temperature.

I have a few of these: http://www.herroom.com/lily-of-france-2151705-stop-the-show-sports-bra.shtml Because otherwise, I could cut diamonds with my nips.

I wear a padded bra in the gym cause I got tired of being called boy.

Wow. Those even prevent uni-boob!

I almost always have THO. I am, however, so large busted that I typically wear two bras when I workout - a normal one, which has a thicker cup, and a sports bra on top. It is barely noticeable through those layers.

They're great... I don't look pre-pubescent! :happy:

Big fan!

ever since i was a young boy, i've been a big fan.

I don't care. I'm pretty sure the old men at my rec center are staring too, and that's fine by me.

It doesn't bother me. I show off my erect nipples with pride.

there is only one wick away shirt that does this to me where I notice. The other wick away workout shirts have like padding in the bra area so you can't see them.

My old navy compression shirt make my nippoli stick out. I've even caught a trainer staring at them.

In my case, I don't think a sports bra would help reduce attention.

Mine have NOTHING to do with the temperature, I can be sweating, but as soon as I do something heavy they POP on. If you will. I actually didn't even know it happened (I'm not exactly paying attention to it when I'm trying to get the bar back up out of a squat) until my husband started working out with me and was like "ummm...do you know that........."

(I want to look at that bra LL linked but my work seems to think its inappropriate for me to shop for lingerie while I'm working, so its got the site blocked.)

I also have recently learned that my new workout pants which are my FAVORITE because they are warmer and stretchier than my other ones are nearly impossible to avoid um.... well... its related to an animal that stores water in its back? I've decided I don't give a ****, I like those pants, they are comfortable to work out in, and either people are getting a little thrill, a little disgusted, or they don't notice. Doesn't matter to me either way.

I wear them like a badge of honor.

Same here. Mine always stick out. I just have to make sure they don't look all crooked under my shirt.

My nipples are constantly alert. There is nothing I can do about it unless I wear a very heavily padded bra. I does not bother me at all and no one else has complained.

I've always wondered if women even noticed it when it happens. I don't ogle... but I have the ability to spot them from the other side of the gym. :flowerforyou:

I usually work out at home so I dont usually notice, but today when I was out for a run, I had on a sports bra and a ribbed tank, and they were at FULL salute! Im pretty sure all on-coming traffic noticed!! lol

I'm generally way to into what ever I'm doing to have any clue.

LorinaLynn

I only notice if I'm teeth-chattering chilled. Like at my 5 mile race, when it was just a little too chilly and drizzly to be in shorts and a tank (before running). I pinned my race bib extra high.

My headlights are always out... I have some workout bras that hide.. some that don't.. I stopped caring a long time ago.. women are made that way.. .get over it!

Cait_Sidhe

I've got sorta big boobies so I wear a regular bra with a sports bra over that, and then a fitted band t-shirt. So I don't think I ever have headlights. But if I did, I wouldn't care.

I've never been one to judge a nipple's status. =D

I certainly dont care ... i wear a sports bra and a tank over it and i still have my freaking headlights on. pierced nips tend to make those things poke out.

I was just about to say, 'Try having them pierced'. I resort to only wearing black tank tops instead of cute colored ones because I feel super exposed if I don't. And, I typically change into my clothes at work instead of at the gym, so I have no excuse and just head straight there... so if I walk out of the bathroom and people are still around, it's like "HAY GUYS WATS UP" :blushing:

I like the headlights on look.

My husband pointed out my headlights this morning. There's really nothing I can do about it. I can't help it if exercise excites me!
