The LA Pride Parade is one of those events that feels like more than just a celebration—it’s a declaration. Of love, visibility, joy, resistance, and pure, unfiltered energy. You can feel it in the air. You can see it in the outfits. You can hear it in every cheer, every chant, every bass drop from the floats rolling by.

And when you’re part of the march—walking, sweating, dancing, hugging strangers like friends—your outfit becomes more than fashion. It becomes a part of how you move through the moment.

This year, I wore Bare & Basic™ Love & Pride Rainbow Nipple Covers.
And they. did. not. quit.

🏳️‍🌈 Why I Wore Them

I wanted something that felt expressive and colorful but also practical. I was in the parade—not just watching from the sidelines—so I needed:

• Something that would stay put all day 
• Something lightweight under the LA sun 
• Something that said “I’m proud of who I am” without saying a word 

Enter: Bare & Basic™ Rainbow Covers.
No bra. No discomfort. Just me, in full color, with full confidence.

💦 Sweat, Movement, Hugs—and Still Holding Strong

Here’s what my day looked like:

• Dancing for blocks at a time 
• Full sun, 80+ degrees 
• A mesh crop layered over my rainbow covers 
• A crowd of thousands 
• And zero time to adjust or worry about a wardrobe slip 

I put the covers on at 9 a.m. and they were still perfectly in place by 4 p.m. after the after-party started. No peeling. No weird shifting under my shirt. No sticky mess. Just solid, comfortable hold—and I didn’t feel them once.

Even during moments where we were shoulder to shoulder, sweaty and swaying, they stayed locked in. I honestly forgot I had them on (until someone complimented them mid-parade).

✨ A Symbol That Felt Personal

Wearing the rainbow covers wasn’t just a fashion choice—it felt symbolic.

It was my little way of saying:

• “I’m here.” 
• “I’m proud.” 
• “I see you, and I hope you see yourself in this too.” 

Pride is deeply personal. Everyone’s journey with identity, expression, and visibility is different. But putting on something that’s literally designed to celebrate inclusion and individuality felt like wrapping myself in something a little more meaningful.

🔄 Need Something Invisible for Next Time?

If you’re planning to hit a Pride event, perform on stage, or just want that same confidence boost, I can’t recommend Bare & Basic™ enough.

And if rainbow isn’t your vibe or you need something invisible under your look, they’ve got:

• BB Vanish™ – for seamless, invisible coverage under tight or sheer fabrics 
• BB Cool Flow™ – for breathable comfort during long, sweaty days 

Different styles, same amazing hold. Trust me—you’ll forget you’re even wearing them.

💖 Final Thoughts: Covered, Confident, and Completely Me

Marching in the LA Pride Parade was emotional, electric, and unforgettable. And I’ll be honest—I teared up more than once.

But what I didn’t have to think about all day? My chest. My coverage. My comfort.

Bare & Basic™ gave me the freedom to be completely present in every moment—loud, proud, colorful, and completely myself.

And that? That’s what Pride is all about.
