Men's nipple covers may just be the dating solution Japan is looking for

Looking nipple-less may just be the next fashion trend.

Japanese sports goods retailer Dot Store has recently seen a massive demand in one of their items: men's nipple covers. Sales this year has surpassed the previous, with more than 55,000 units already sold.

A 2013 study revealed that up to 84 percent of people find nipples poking through shirts to be utterly repulsive - understandable since staring right into someone's personal headlights can hurt the eyes. Especially during a meeting or a date, it can be a huge turn off… unless you're into that kind of thing.

For those who have outstanding and stubborn nipples, this may be the solution for you. These water-resistant ISO-certified nipple covers are colorless and transparent, designed to keep your two peaks inconspicuous even when wearing thin clothing in the heat of summer.
