So, most of my bras are bralettes or sport bras. I have some pads that I can insert into them to push my chest a little and kinda give them a good shape, and those also cover my nipples. Unfortunately the pads are falling apart and instead of buying new bras maybe there is something else.
I am looking into getting some t-shirt-bras again. They do a good job for my needs, although they are uncomfortable sometimes. Finding the right size is like winning the lottery.
I am very self conscious about people looking at my chest and thinking weird stuff about it. I don't want anything there to look odd.

I've had good results just wearing pasties under my shirt, but I'm sure you could just buy new bra pads, too.

Thanks, will try those. :)

Have you tried silicone nipple shields? They stick to your skin without requiring adhesives and should easily stay in place inside a bralette or sports bra.

No, I never thought those would work with exercise or a long work day. Will give them a try.

I recently discovered a wire-free t-shirt bra from torrid which has been life-changing. Maybe it could work for you.

I love my Nippies when pasties are the more appropriate solution for my outfit. Maybe those could work? But they definitely risk shifting around after 8+ hrs or heavy sweating. Never used them with a bra though so who knows!

They've worked well with all my bras, thankfully.

I got a couple of pull over bras recently that are wireless and don't have the same strong elastics as sports bras (kind of like this but without the weird boob split). I find them extremely comfortable. I found one of them at a thrift store actually for like 6 bucks and it's probably my favourite bra now.
If you're set on a sports bra though maybe you could just go a size or two up if you're just looking for a non jiggly day bra.

I tried silicone nipple pads but they feel weird against the skin so I switched to masking tape. Does the job just fine and guaranteed not to fall off!

Lucy and Yak bras, well padded and thick, very comfortable and cute ioo. That or Tomboy X ones.

I just put tape over my nipples whenever I don't want them to poke. They show through anything i wear unless I use tape.
*scotch tape, not something that fuses with skin like duct tape
