Would you ever go topless in public? It's hot out and, let's face it, bra sweat sucks. But not everyone is as brave as Scout Willis, who recently strolled through New York topless. If you want to free the nipple, you may want to consider the Ta-Ta Top.
Essentially a nude bikini top with very realistic nipples, the Ta-Ta was created by a couple of feminists, Robyn Graves and Michelle Lytle, who made it their mission to make nipples less of a deal.
According to an article in Salon, the Ta-Ta is a fun bit of apparel, but best of all, $5 out of every $28 goes toward the breast cancer charity, Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation.
So in a bid to "free the nipple," the Ta-Ta aims to remove the sexual connotation around female nipples, which are censored in the most innocuous breastfeeding images on Instagram and Facebook.
"I think that the important thing about this product is that, if people look around and see this everywhere, then who cares if you can legitimately be topless? Because you’re already seeing it,” said Lytle.
The top is pretty realistic, it has to be said. And don't worry—more skin tones are on the way . . .
If you fancy making a little statement this summer, get your own Ta-Ta here.
