Tips and Tricks

BOOB TAPE

1- Make sure your skin is clean and dry (no moisturizers, no perfume etc...).

(If you have oily skin, or if you have been applying body oils as part of your daily routine or while sun tanning, exfoliate your skin and cleanse it with an alcohol residue-free astringent or non-moisturizing soap.)

2- Cleanse your skin if you have sweat throughout the day, or if your skin feels moist.

3- Apply nipple covers since the nipples are very sensitive. Also, this eases the removal process and makes it much more comfortable.

4- Stand in front of a mirror; taping is like putting makeup on, you need to see what's going on. And if you're new at this, get a friend to help!

5- Stretch your body part, not the tape. Position your breasts as desired, then start taping to fix them in place. 

6- Don't peel off the backing paper all at once. Peel it off gradually as you tape.

7- Don't stretch the tape too much as this will result in a flattened boob appearance. Also stretching the tape too much poses tension on the tape and skin which might cause the tape to hold for a shorter time and cause skin irritation.

8- Use the strip only once. If you misplace a strip, don't try to reposition it because it won't stick well. Cut a new piece.

9- Leave approximately 2-3 cm at the ends of each strip without tension. Avoid stretching the ends.

10- After applying the tape, rub it in to make sure it is properly glued to the skin (especially at the ends). When cutting out your strips, you can also trim the corners to form a curved edge. This will prevent the tape from catching onto your clothes because if the corners start to lift, the rest of the strip might gradually peel off with movement.

11- There are no rules for taping. Apply as many strips needed to support, and place them in any position that works for you.

12- Peeling off the tape is the most important part of the process! Peel it off very slowly and gradually. Use one hand to peel off the tape and the other hand to firmly hold back the skin behind the tape. Most irritation occurs due to an aggressive/fast removal.

Note for women with larger cup sizes: If you want to apply the tape vertically upwards to lift, apply multiple layers placing the tape from the bottom of your breasts up to your shoulders. 

DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE

1- Make sure your skin is clean and dry (no moisturizers, no perfume etc...).

2- Position tape on inside edge of clothing. Remove backing paper and press clothing firmly onto skin.

3- Use the strip only once. If you misplace a strip, don't reposition it because it won't stick well. Cut a new piece.

4- Do not get your fingers all over the tape while applying as this will decrease its stickiness. 

SILICONE NIPPLE COVERS

1- When the stickiness of your silicone nipple covers decreases, gently wash them with lukewarm water and soap. This removes dust and makes them sticky again. Leave to air dry and immediately cover after.

2- After each use, cover your silicone nipple covers with the plastic sheets to protect the adhesive from drying out. Place them back in their plastic case to protect from dust. Taking good care of your covers will ensure they last longer.
