Quick answer

Choose the Triangle Gold Nipplets for classic coverage with cupless bras or harnesses, the Element Gold Nipplets for an ouvert-friendly cut-out design, and the Shell Gold Nipplets for a sculptural mermaid-inspired statement.

What sets each shape apart

All three Bordelle nipplets are 24k gold plated, handcrafted in France, and come with dermatologically tested adhesive strips good for three wears. The real difference is in the silhouette and intended styling.

The Triangle is a solid, simple shape—ideal if you want reliable coverage without drawing extra attention. The Element features a cut-out design that adds visual intrigue, especially with ouvert bras or harnesses. The Shell takes a bolder approach with a mermaid-inspired curve that stands out even on its own.

Coverage and reusability trade-offs

Each pair ships with enough tape for three wears. After that, you'll need to source replacement adhesive strips (dermatologically tested, sold separately).

If you plan to wear them frequently, factor in the ongoing cost of tape. The Element and Shell are priced higher than the Triangle, partly due to their more intricate designs. The Triangle offers the same gold finish and French craftsmanship at a lower entry point.

How to choose your nipplets

  • Triangle Gold Nipplets: Solid triangle shape, lowest price point. Best for everyday coverage under cupless bras or harnesses. Choose this if you want a classic, discreet pastie.
  • Element Gold Nipplets: Cut-out design, mid-to-higher price. Best for ouvert bras, harnesses, or when you want a decorative element. Choose this if you want a design that draws the eye.
  • Shell Gold Nipplets: Mermaid-inspired sculptural curve, similar price to Element. Best as a standalone statement or with minimal straps. Choose this if you want a bold, artistic silhouette.
