Handbra

A handbra' (also spelled as hand bra or hand-bra) is a technique wherein a woman hides her nipples and areolae by covering both breasts with her own hands, or those of another person.

Modern prevalence

The handbra gained peak exposure with Janet Jackson's appearance on the September 1993 cover of Rolling Stone, which later named it their "Most Popular Cover Ever" in 2000. The pose is a mainstay in lad mags, such as Maxim and Zoo Weekly that prominently feature photos of scantily clad B-actresses and models.

The handbra was the subject of a pointed parody advertisement for Holding Your Own Boobs Magazine performed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Will Ferrell on the May 15, 1999 episode of Saturday Night Live.

It is to note that making the "hand bra" is often seen as very cliche in some photographic circles, so try to be a bit more creative. Have your model use an arm to occlude a breast instead of simply covering it with her hand.
