English term or phrase: stinging tightness of her nipples would be more than a minor
... physical discomfort.
metto un po' di contesto:
It was a good thing her dress was made of opaque fabric or the stinging tightness of her nipples would be more than a minor physical discomfort. It would be downright embarrassing.
