Woman Gets Chemical Burns From Nipple Covers on NYE
The Original Post
This happened on new years eve but I’m only now recognising the magnitude of my fuck up.
So, the party i was going to attend on new years had a strict dress code and i decided to wear the one dress that i own that would fit the criteria which happened to have a very deep cleavage. This made me a little uncomfortable since i knew i would be dancing and my nipples would eventually pop out.
As the dress didnt allow for a bra, the only reasonable thing that came into my mind was to buy the cheapest nipple cover in could find. Logic, right?
So i did exactly that, i went out and bought 5 bucks, single use, cross-shaped pasties, put them on underneath my dress and had a blast all night!
The fabric of the dress actually adhered on the surface of the pasties and worked better that intended : my dress did not budge at all despite the drunken-shakira-level dancing.
When i came home the morning of the 1st, i forgot to take them off and drunkenly went to bed. When i came out of my haze a few hours later i got up to take a shower and only then i realised i still had my beautiful and useful black Xs on my chest. As i tried to take them off i remember thinking “this shouldn’t hurt this much now should it?”
No. No, it shouldn’t.
Because i forgot i was allergic to bandaid glue.
TL;DR i basically wore 2 bandaids to which i am allergic on my nipples for over 12 hours, and now i have two very itchy, very distinct X over my boobs.
What Reddit Said
Redditors were both sympathetic and amused by this painful mishap. Most users offered genuine sympathy for the uncomfortable situation. However, many couldn’t resist making jokes about the X-shaped marks left behind.

This nipple covers chemical burn allergy situation resonated with many users who’ve forgotten about their own allergies in similar circumstances.
