Strapless dresses are timeless, elegant, and perfect for special occasions. However, they can pose a challenge when it comes to finding the right support for your bust. Enter Uplift Skin Boob tape—Get your 60 second boob job in a box! A versatile solution that allows you to wear your favourite strapless dress with confidence. In this blog, we'll walk you through how to use boob tape to achieve a secure, lifted look without the need for a bra.
What is Uplift Skin Boob Tape?
Boob tape is a strong adhesive tape designed to lift and support your breasts. It’s perfect for outfits that don’t allow for traditional bras, such as strapless, backless, or plunging neckline dresses. The tape is skin-friendly, flexible, and provides a customisable fit that works with any outfit.
Why Use Boob Tape for a Strapless Dress?
Strapless dresses can be tricky when it comes to finding the right undergarments. Traditional strapless bras often slip or don’t provide enough lift, especially if you’re dancing the night away. Boob tape gives you the freedom to create the perfect lift and shape, ensuring that your dress stays in place and looks flawless.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Boob Tape for a Strapless Dress
1. Prep Your Skin
Start with clean, dry skin. Avoid using lotions, oils, or powders on your chest, as these can reduce the effectiveness of the tape’s adhesive. If you have sensitive skin, consider doing a patch test with a small piece of tape to ensure there’s no irritation.
2. Choose the Right Tape
Select a boob tape that matches your skin tone and offers enough width for the support you need. Wider tape is typically better for larger busts, while thinner tape can work well for smaller sizes. The color should be as close to your skin tone as possible, especially if your dress is light or semi-sheer.
3. Position and Measure
Before applying the tape, stand in front of a mirror and determine the lift and shape you want. Measure out strips of tape that will be long enough to start from the base of your breast and go up over your shoulder or across your chest, depending on the look you're going for.
4. Start Taping
Begin by placing the first strip of tape just below your breast. Gently lift your breast to the desired height and adhere the tape, pulling it upwards. The tape should extend over your shoulder or towards your armpit, depending on your preference.
For a strapless dress, you’ll want to focus on lifting from below and securing the sides. This will create a natural-looking lift without the need for shoulder straps.
5. Layer and Secure
Continue applying strips of tape, slightly overlapping each one for extra security. You can use three to four strips per breast, depending on your desired level of support. Make sure the tape is smooth and that there are no wrinkles or gaps.
For extra security, you can add horizontal strips of tape across the base of your bust or even a vertical strip between the breasts to enhance cleavage and keep everything in place.
6. Adjust and Test
Once all the tape is in place, gently press down on the tape to ensure it’s securely adhered to your skin. Put on your strapless dress and check in the mirror for any visible tape. If any tape is peeking out, carefully trim it with scissors. Move around to ensure that the tape holds well with your movements.
7. Optional: Use Nipple Covers
If you’re concerned about nipple visibility or sensitivity, apply silicone nipple covers before taping. This can make the tape more comfortable to wear and provide a smoother appearance under your dress.
Tips for Removing Boob Tape
After a long night, removing boob tape can be a little daunting, but with the right approach, it can be painless. Use our Magical Boob Tape Remover which will help loosen the adhesive. Slowly peel off the tape, working with the direction of hair growth to minimise discomfort. Follow up with a moisturising lotion to soothe your skin.
When to Avoid Boob Tape
While boob tape is a fantastic option for most, it might not be suitable for everyone. If you have very sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions, you may want to consult a dermatologist before use. Additionally, for those with larger busts, boob tape may not provide enough support on its own, so consider using it in combination with a strapless bra.
Boob tape is a game-changing tool for achieving a smooth, lifted look in a strapless dress. With a bit of practice and the right technique, you can wear your favourite outfits with the confidence that everything will stay perfectly in place. Whether it’s a wedding, prom, or a night out on the town, boob tape ensures you can flaunt your strapless dress with ease. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the freedom that comes with the perfect tape job!
