Boob tape is a styling essential that helps you achieve lift, support, and cleavage—without the need for a bra. But applying it correctly (and removing it safely!) makes all the difference. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the different ways to use boob tape for various outfits and bust types, plus how to remove it without damaging your skin.
How to Apply Boob Tape
Step 1:
Start with clean, dry skin. Remove any lotion, oil, or perfume from your chest area to ensure the tape sticks properly.
Optional: Use nipple covers for extra comfort and protection.
Step 2:
Cut the boob tape into the desired lengths depending on your chosen application style.
Step 3:
Peel off half of the paper backing and stick the tape to the base of your breast.
Step 4:
Gently lift and position your breast to your preferred shape, then apply the rest of the tape upward or across the chest. Smooth it down to remove any creases or bubbles.
Step 5:
Repeat for the other side. Apply extra strips if more support or shaping is needed.
Popular Boob Tape Techniques:
- Straight Up Lift: From under the breast to over the shoulder – ideal for deep plunges.
- Cross Lift: Tape diagonally from under the bust toward the opposite shoulder for cleavage.
- Side Support: Tape from the outside of the bust toward the center – perfect for strapless looks.
How to Remove Boob Tape Safely
With great cleavage comes great responsibility. Our boob tape uses strong adhesive to give you lasting lift and hold. It’s important to remove it the right way to avoid irritating your skin.
Never remove tape on dry skin or with water!
Safe Removal Instructions:
- Saturate the entire tape area with baby oil, coconut oil, or medical adhesive remover.
- Wait 5 minutes to allow the oil to dissolve the adhesive.
- Gently peel back a corner while holding your skin below the tape. Take your time and go slowly.
Note: Always remove the tape before showering or dressing. Do not reuse tape—single use only.
Important Safety Tips
- Always do a patch test 24 hours before extended wear.
- Do not use on sunburned, damaged, or broken skin.
- Not recommended for people with sensitive skin or pigment disorders.
- Do not wear overnight or for more than 12 hours.
- Skin lightening may occur in melanin-rich skin—test first if concerned.
