The best way to use boob tape
More and more people are ordering boob tape online. It's a really handy accessory, but how do you use it best? In this blog we explain step by step how to get the most out of your boob tape.
Buying boob tape
Boob tape comes in different types and sizes. Start by checking which tape colour matches your skin tone and choose from there. Then check which type of adhesive is used and whether it's suitable for all skin types. It's also well worth looking at value for money. After all, you use boob tape on a very sensitive area of skin, so you really need to be careful! Want your boob tape fast? This boob tape is high quality and delivered quickly!
Nipple covers
Once you've found the right boob tape, hold off ordering for a moment! This tape is very strong and shouldn't come into contact with your nipples. That's what nipple covers are for. They're mostly made from cotton or silicone. The cotton ones are slightly thinner and single use, while the silicone ones are reusable but a little thicker. Using boob tape? Then this step is really important. Curious about the different types of nipple covers? Read this blog!
Which boob tape shape?
Once you've ordered boob tape and want to use it, it's important to know what you'll be wearing, which areas of your body will show and how your neckline falls. The back of the Shapetape boob tape packaging shows exactly how best to apply it. You can cut Shapetape into pieces yourself, so there are lots of ways to apply boob tape!
Applying boob tape!
Step 1: Once you have all the products at home, make sure your skin is free of oil before you use the boob tape. You can do this simply by showering and washing. Make sure you don't apply any cream or lotion afterwards.
Step 2: Make sure your skin is completely dry – ideally wait a few minutes after your shower. Start by applying the nipple covers. Make sure they sit neatly over your nipples; this takes a little precision. Then use the roll to measure roughly how much tape you need. Only cut it after measuring, so the piece doesn't end up too big or too small.
Step 3: Before applying the tape, it's a good idea to round off the corners. That stops little corners from lifting when your clothes rub against them.
Step 4: Now apply the boob tape: peel off a small piece of the backing paper and stick it to your skin. Then lift your breasts into the shape you want and stick the rest of the tape to your skin. Reinforce the shape with several pieces of tape.
Step 5: Rub the tape firmly onto your skin. Once it's on, don't pull it off again (not even a small piece) until you're ready to remove the boob tape completely at the end of the day.
Removing boob tape
Once you've worn your Shapetape boob tape, removing it properly is just as important as applying it. The easiest way to remove Shapetape is with oil.
It doesn't have to be a special oil, but you can of course use one. Apply the oil to the tape and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to soak in. You should then be able to remove the tape painlessly.
