Boob tapes have become a real hit on the Internet and social networks, especially since public figures started promoting them. Many ladies on the red carpet wear them gladly on those most glamorous occasions, so their cleavage looks perfect.
Why they are favourite and popular, primarily among the female population? How to use them? We shall explain in the following.
Well, let’s start from the beginning. Boob tapes are not a big novelty, although not much is known about them here. Hollywood ladies have been using them for years to look elegant and classy in dresses with deep cleavage on the chest or back and bare shoulders, without outlining nipples. Since all of us, at least sometimes, look up to celebrities, it is logical why this product has become popular among the wider population.
In addition to that, boob tapes have met the expectations of many women who have tried them. They are so thrilled with their effectiveness that they often wear them in everyday situations when they want to feel comfortable and confident in every outfit combination. That is precisely the primary feeling they provide.
Here Are the Main Characteristics of Boob Tapes Which Make Them Particularly Popular:
▪ They provide an extra dose of elegance for various clothing combinations, especially for dresses and tops with deep necklines, strapless, with back openings, and similar.
▪ They easily adapt to different shapes and sizes of breasts and provide firm support for every neckline.
▪ Depending on how they are positioned, these tapes can also achieve an instant lifted breasts effect. Due to their elasticity, they can be tightened in the desired direction to achieve a push-up effect.
▪ They are completely unnoticeable and practically invisible under clothing. They do not outline and do not show nipples.
▪ They are very light, comfortable, and pleasant to wear. They do not have straps, buckles, and other details that can additionally tighten and create discomfort.
▪ Breast tapes contain a special adhesive that firmly adheres to the skin, allowing them to stay in the desired place (without moving and peeling off) for hours (even after dancing).
How to Apply Boob Tapes
Applying the tape for the first time may seem complicated. So we advise you to look at the instructions and/or video tutorials and prepare well. The next time, you will be able to apply the tapes quickly and easily without a mistake.
Breast tapes are applied to clean and dry skin. After showering, gently towel-dry it. Do not apply creams, lotions, and body care oils to the breast area, as the skin may be greasy and moist. They can make it difficult to stick the tape and shorten the wearing time.
Before applying the tape, it is recommended to place nipple stickers. Their primary role is to protect this sensitive part of the body. Also to facilitate the later removal of the tape (without pulling and irritations).
With scissors, cut the tapes to the desired length, taking care not to be too short. An additional tip is that the tapes should be slightly shorter than the surface they should cover, as they are elastic and slightly stretchable. It is very important to know for sure what kind of clothes you want to wear and to cut the tapes according to the shape of the shirt or dress. Look at our chart for a few examples and suggestions.
To achieve the desired look, it’s best to stand in front of a mirror when applying the tapes. Slowly and gently remove the protective film from the adhesive side of the tape, starting from one end, as you apply it to the skin. Be careful not to touch the adhesive with your fingers and to evenly remove the film, just before sticking.
If necessary, hold your breasts with one hand. With the other hand stick and slightly tighten the tape to achieve a push-up effect.
After applying the tape, gently move over the entire surface to smooth out any wrinkles and further secure the tape to the skin.
And that’s the whole process. Feel free to put on your favourite dress and enjoy with a higher dose of confidence. It is recommended to wear the tape for a maximum of 9 hours.
How to Painlessly Remove Them
To stay firm, without moving for several hours, breast tapes contain an adhesive that adheres to the skin. Depending on the type and condition of your skin, as well as the length of time you wear the tape, removal may cause redness, pain, or discomfort when peeling the tape off the skin.
But don’t worry, there is a proven trick that makes removal easier and less painful or even completely painless. For easy tape removal, it is advised to use oil, which will soften the tape and separate the adhesive from the skin. Generously soak the tape with oil, wait a few minutes for the adhesive to separate from the skin, and gently pull the tape.
If traces of adhesive remain on the skin after removal, you can simply remove them using alcohol and a cotton pad. Mild redness on the skin is a common occurrence. After removing the tape, you can apply a moisturizing cream with a soothing effect. Such products are usually enriched with aloe, which is known for its soothing effect. Good options are also lotions with panthenol and chamomile, or any cream that suits your skin.
Who Are Boob Tapes Intended for
If the visibility of a bra under a dress with thin straps and an open back ruins your image of the ideal evening outfit, breast tapes are the perfect solution.
If you feel uncomfortable wearing dresses with deep necklines without a bra because nipples are outlined, tapes are an excellent, unnoticeable alternative.
And you know what, it’s not just women who use them. Men also often want to hide the visibility of nipples, especially when wearing tight shirts or transparent shirts. These tapes are a great option for such situations. The only advice is to have the chest depilated for easier and painless removal of the tape after wearing.
So, it can be said that self-adhesive breast tapes are for everyone, with a small dose of caution. Because of the adhesive that the tapes contain, people who have extremely sensitive skin and are prone to irritations should be careful. Before application, it is advised to conduct a so-called sensitivity test. A small piece of tape needs to be stuck on the chest or in the immediate vicinity of the body part where the tapes are planned to be placed. If there are no unwanted reactions in the form of extreme redness, tingling, itching, etc. within the next 24 hours, the tapes can be safely used.
