Silicone Boob Tape can help create lift and support while remaining discreet underneath your outfit. Correct application is important for both a secure fit and comfortable wear. Follow these five steps to prepare your skin, apply the tapes correctly and remove them with care.
How to apply Silicone Boob Tape
Make sure the skin on and around your breasts is completely clean and dry. Do not apply lotion, body oil or perfume before using the tape, as these products can affect the adhesive.
Optional: Apply nipple covers before using the tape for additional coverage.
Peel back approximately half of the protective foil from the longest tape. Position the exposed adhesive section on your breast and gently press it onto the skin.
Remove the remaining protective foil. Gently lift your breast into the desired position and smooth the tape onto the skin. Repeat the process with the remaining tapes until you achieve the support and shape you want.
Press each tape firmly against the skin for a few seconds. Make sure the complete adhesive surface is securely attached and that there are no loose edges.
When removing the tapes, peel them away slowly and carefully rather than pulling them off quickly.
How to care for Silicone Boob Tape
Proper care helps keep the adhesive surface clean and ready for your next wear. Always handle the silicone and adhesive gently.
- 1. Wash the adhesive side carefully with lukewarm water.
- 2. Leave the tapes to air dry completely with the adhesive side facing up.
- 3. Do not dry the adhesive surface with a towel, as fibres may stick to it.
- 4. Once fully dry, place the original release paper back onto the adhesive before storing.
Important before wearing
Adhesive products come into direct contact with the skin, so it is important to check how your skin reacts before extended wear.
- Perform a skin test 24 hours before extended use. During the test, wear the silicone and adhesive product for up to 4 hours.
- Do not apply the product to open cuts, skin disorders, rashes, sun-damaged or sunburned skin, white patches, or areas affected by skin depigmentation.
- Skin sensitivity can occur even if you have previously used this or similar products without experiencing a reaction.
- Do not wear Silicone Boob Tape overnight. We recommend wearing the product for no longer than 12 hours at a time.
- Women with a significant amount of melanin or a family history of depigmentation may experience skin lightening caused by the silicone or adhesive.
- This product is not recommended for sensitive skin. Always use extra care if your skin is prone to sensitivity.
Getting the best result
The most important part of applying Silicone Boob Tape is starting with clean, completely dry skin. Take your time when positioning each piece and create the desired lift before firmly securing the tape.
Application can vary depending on your breast shape, outfit and preferred level of lift. Testing the placement before wearing the product for a longer period can help you find the most comfortable application for you.
