Adhesive or Non-Adhesive Nipple Covers: Which One Is Right for You?

At Nippetals, we understand that and that’s why we have come up with the perfect solution - soft, supported breathable fabrics that take care of these problems, without compromising on the quality.

Nipple covers are one of the most prominent solutions that we offer for smooth coverage and discreet sheathing. It has become a fashion staple of every wardrobe. Available in various styles, nipple covers mainly come in two different types, adhesive and non adhesive nipple covers. Choosing between them for the right kind of support and concealment is a conscious choice. Here’s everything you need to know about them.

Understanding Adhesive and Non-Adhesive Options

1. Adhesive Nipple Covers: These are nipple covers that have a sticky layer that sticks to your body. Immensely popular among modern women, these essentials stay put for longer durations and are convenient to use. They are compact, secure and seamless.
   
   Pros
   • Secure Hold: The adhesive layer of the nipple covers allow for safe and secure hold, making sure that the nipple pasties stay in place for longer durations.
   • Waterproof and Sweatproof: Adhesive nipple covers are waterproof and sweatproof. This makes it perfect for intense workout sessions and water-based activities. 
   • Discreet Coverage: Adhesive nipple covers have thinner and smoother edges that ensure that the coverage offered is seamless and natural.
   • Versatility: Adhesive nipple covers are known for their versatility. Due to their seamless support and comfort, they can be worn under formal outfits as well as casual tops.
   
   Cons
   • Skin-irritation: Adhesive nipple covers may cause skin irritation or redness, if worn for a prolonged period of time. 
   • Limited reusability: While these nipple pasties are reusable, their lifespan depends on proper care and maintenance.

    

2. Non-Adhesive Nipple Covers: These are nipple covers that do not require an adhesive to stick to the body. They rely on the body heat and friction between the skin and the nipple cover to stick to the body. These are more breathable and skin-friendly than adhesive nipple covers.
   
   Pros

• • Skin- friendly: Since non-adhesive nipple covers do not use adhesives, these are gentle on the skin and are perfect for women with skin ailments or sensitivity.
  • Breathable: Made from lightweight, airy materials, these nipple covers are breathable and extremely comfortable.
  • Reusable: Non-adhesive covers are reusable and do not require as much care as the adhesive options. These last multiple uses, without ever compromising on the quality.
  
  Cons
  • Less secure: Without any adhesive, non-adhesive nipple covers may shift under clothes that are loose.
  • Not sweatproof: These nipple covers are not sweatproof and may shift during intense workout sessions.

What to consider while making the choice

These are a few factors that you should consider when choosing between adhesive and non-adhesive nipple covers. These are:

1. Outfit Style
   • Seamless styles: For seamless styles, it is advisable to go for adhesive nipple covers for secure hold and long-lasting coverage.
   • Sheer styles: For sheer pieces, it is advisable to go for silicone adhesive nipple covers as they seem more natural, smooth and go undetected throughout their wear time.
   • Casual styles: For casual and comfortable styles, it is best to go for non-adhesive nipple covers as they are skin-safe and breathable.
2. Activity Chosen
   • Low-Impact Activities: For activities that require minimal movement, like brunches or casual outings, non-adhesive nipple pasties are the perfect accessory for ease and unmatched comfort.
   • High-Impact Activities: For activities that require intense movement, like dancing or swimming, adhesive nipple pasties are the go-to option for unparalleled support and discretion.
3. Skin Type
   • Normal Skin: For women with normal skin, it is recommended to go for the adhesive nipple covers and explore the versatility and freedom that they offer.
   • Sensitive Skin: For women with sensitive skin, it is recommended to go for non-adhesive nipple covers as they are safer and more skin-friendly. 
4. Storage
   • For sustainability: Adhesive nipple covers need to be carefully stored in a clean, dust-free environment to maximize their lifespan and increase reusability. This makes them high-maintenance.
   • For convenience: Non-adhesive nipple covers are easier to store and maintain. They can easily be placed in a protective casing, without additional precautions. This makes them low-maintenance.
