A Japanese sports shop is reporting a surge in demand for nipple covers as mammary gland1 concealment2 becomes all the rage in the eccentric Far-Eastern country.
据一家日本体育用品商店称,顾客对乳贴的需求激增。这是因为日本这个奇葩的国家现在十分流行“隐藏乳头”。
The Dot Store says nipple covers, usually used by long-distance runners to prevent
chafing3, are flying off its shelves, with 55,000 sets being sold so far this year.
The figure far exceeds last year's sales figures, though exact numbers were not given.
The Dot Store's nipple covers are
adhesive4, water-resistant,
transparent5 patches similar to sticking plasters.
The
feat6 has been achieved by
marketing7 the nipple covers as fashion items instead of sports accessories.
