Exciting to watch, underwear-filling to experience personally, it is something that can be avoided altogether by ensuring that the caps are a good tight fit, and that the nipples are not worn or distorted. Note that it CAN happen if you distort the caps by pinching them oval to make them fit - so get the right-size caps to fit your perfect nipples.
