Booby Tape, Roll m, Brown, 5 count

Product Information

My sister did all of my bridesmaids with it – apparently something she was shown by a stylist and has been doing for years. It worked like a dream, I would suggest some practice and perhaps something to cover the actual nipple that you can tape over to make it easier (less painful) to remove.” (Type of tape recommended by Mumsnet user Showgirl109) Our verdict Colour: Transparent | Size: One size | Special feature: Double sided | Length: 2m long What we like Available in four sizes that cover a huge range of bra measurements, you’ll be sure to find your perfect fit. The brand recommends sizing up if you’re in between sizes, since they can always be trimmed to be made smaller. The best bit? They’re ready to use out of the box! Celebrity fans include Love Island’s Kaz Kamwi. They’re pricey compared to other tapes and adhesive bras on the market, though.

Nood took the US and Middle East by storm – and is now taking on the UK. The innovative brand prides itself for being inclusive and catering to all women. Its products are sustainable, sweat-proof, arrive in shades suitable for different skin tones, while also delivering the ultimate lift for any cup size for any occasion. Using technology invented for athletes, the adhesive pads offer superb lift, shape and support for your assets. They’re exceptional for prolonged events such as weddings, and being made from eco-friendly hemp, they’re both breathable and lighter than most other tapes. Boob tapes are adhesive strips of fabric that are designed to keep your breasts in position without the support of a traditional bra. Some are designed for support and lift, whilst others are designed to push and shape for maximum cleavage. How do I safely apply boob tape? I used skin-coloured KT tape from Superdrug. It wasn't cheap but Jesus it held them in place all evening (was maid of honour at a wedding with too much boobs for the dress). I also found that after 10 or so hours it was a little itchy/irritating, so I'd recommend for a shorter duration if possible.” (Type of product recommended by Mumsnet user Nervousdave)

Boob tape should be removed with care. You should pull it off slowly and carefully and not rip or tear it off like a plaster – this may risk irritating or damaging your skin.

For strappy tops you can wear with confidence, the Buub Body Tape is a game-changer for those with big boobs. It’s extra kind to skin, resulting in absolutely zero redness or irritation, and the tape somehow feels as supportive as an actual bra. The quality of this product is impressive, and you don’t need as much as you might initially think, since the tape is super-stretchy while remaining strong and supportive. Certain strapless or asymmetrical styles will simply call for nip covers, which can be worn in addition to boob tape or on their own (see Lady Gaga's hot take on pasties at the Critics' Choice Awards). Nipple covers typically take up less surface area than boob tape, often covering only the areolas. Boob tape removal can be painful or damage the skin if done improperly, so it's important to remove the tape with care. Each brand offers its own instructions, so be sure to read over them before removing the tape. Some recommendations include: Transparency is really important to us and that's why we're always upfront about where we find our recommendations. We write about products that we feel offer the best value to most parents – the ones that our users would recommend to their own friends and family. About the author Nood is proud of the sweatproof nature of their Lift & Shape Bra, stating that it’s guaranteed to stay in place no matter what the temperature is outside.Make sure your skin is clean and dry and free from oil-based product, as this may affect the adhesive on the tape. I haven't tried these but they look a bit more robust for larger boobs than others I've seen.” (Brand suggested by Mumsnet user babyboyHarrison) Our verdict

Many boobs tapes are single-use only, so it’s important to get the position accurate the first time. This does create a bit of pressure, especially given the price, however most brands come with step-by-step visual instructions and guides to suit a variety of outfit styles. When choosing a boob tape, it’s important to first map out your cup size and desired outcome. If you have small boobs, we recommend a product such as the Perky Pear Invisible Lift Tape, which offers minimal coverage and maximum oomph. Larger cup sizes should look for a wider tape that will provide more support, such as the cult-favourite Buub Maxi D+ Cupe Adhesive Body Tape. Made from medical-grade, hypoallergenic and sustainable silicone, these nipple covers are non-toxic and completely safe to apply to the skin.

Unlike pre-cut shapes, the tape ensures that no extra bulk is added to the boobs – a god-send for those with larger breasts. A staple for your wardrobe, we love the impressive lift and comfort Buub’s tape delivers, alongside the fact that it’s completely invisible. Customers welcomed that it was easy to remove following a soak in the bath, and agreed that they’d be gifting this body tape to all of their girlfriends.These are really good. I never go braless (need the lift of a bra, unfortunately!) but using these means I don't have to use padded bras, my nips permanently stand to attention!” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user LifeInAHamsterWheel) Remove slowly: Eisenberg recommends "gently removing the tape by starting in one corner and carefully peeling it off very slowly." Colour: Available in four colours | Sizing: Suitable for all sizes | Material: Sustainable hemp fabric What we like Whilst it may have worked for Kim K, we wouldn’t recommend using gaffer tape on your skin. It may have successfully held her breasts in place for hours, but we dread to think what it was like to get off!
