If you love wearing strapless dresses, you’ve probably tried pairing them with a strapless bra. But let's be honest: they often lack the support needed for a comfortable fit. Thankfully, there’s a game-changer: breast tape! If you're wondering how to use it effectively, you’re in the right place. Keep reading for expert tips on taping your breasts to achieve the perfect lift, support, and cleavage for your next night out.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need breast tape and scissors. Make sure to choose a high-quality, medical-grade tape designed for skin. No duct tape here—yikes!
Step 2: Clean Your Skin
Wash the area with a gentle cleanser to remove any oils or lotions. Pat dry so your tape sticks properly.
Step 3: Consider Nipple Covers for Extra Coverage
If you want extra coverage, slap on some silicone nipple covers for a smooth base.
Step 4: Cut Your Tape into the Right Lengths for Each Breast
For a bandeau lift, cut about three short pieces and two long ones for each breast. The short pieces should cover your nipple, while the long strips should extend vertically along your breast.
Step 5: Lift and Tape for Support and Shape
Lift one breast with one hand, place a short piece of tape below your nipple, and pull the other end up. Smooth it out as you go. Keep it neat by avoiding touching the sticky side too much!
Step 6: Build Support with Additional Short Tape Pieces
Add two more short pieces on either side to cover and shape your breast, creating that perfect bra cup look.
Step 7: Anchor with Long Tape for Added Stability
Take a long strip and place it horizontally under your breast, starting from the outside and moving inward. Overlap it with the short pieces for extra support.
Step 8: Layer Up for Ultimate Lift and Coverage
Feel free to add another long piece above for more lift and coverage. Repeat this on the other breast!
Pro Tip: If you want a flatter look, wrap some tape over your bust and cleavage for support while minimizing volume.
Step 9: Gently Remove the Tape with Care
When you’re ready to take it off, gently massage some oil or moisturizer around the edges to loosen the adhesive. Peel it back slowly in the direction of hair growth, supporting your breast as you go.
And there you have it! With the right technique, you can rock your strapless dress and feel amazing. But if you prefer a bit more support without the fuss of tape, check out our strapless bras.
