The Do’s and Don’ts of Using Boob Tape for Sensitive Skin

In today’s day and age, boob tape has become a go-to for women seeking comfort and support in their fashion choices. Whether you’re wearing a backless dress or a top with a tricky neckline, boob tape can be a total lifesaver. However, if you have sensitive skin, using a boob tape can bring a lot of hesitation. The good news is we have heard and understood your problem and are here to help. With this guide, you can enjoy the benefits of a breast tape without having to worry about discomfort or skin irritation.

The Do’s

When it comes to using a boob tape, taking care of your skin is essential. The absolute do’s of using a boob tape are:

1. Choose the right boob tape: The right boob tape for a sensitive skin has to be hypoallergic, latex free and dermatologically tested. These tapes are a lot less likely to cause any harm to the skin.

2. Test before prolonged use: We always recommend doing a patch test before you wear any breast tape for long hours, to check for any peculiar allergies or reactions. Use a small strip of tape on your skin near your chest or arm and leave it for a few hours. If there’s no reaction, the tape has passed the patch test.

3. Pat your skin dry: Make sure that your skin is completely dry. The skin should be devoid of any oils, lotions or moisture so that the adhesive strength is not compromised. This also ensures that the skin does not become irritated.

4. Use nipple covers for extra protection: It is imperative to protect your nipples from any tugging or freak out. For this, always use nipple covers before applying the boob tape. We suggest using NipGrips for the best results.

5. Apply gently: Gently press the tape to the section you want to support. Dragging or stretching the tape might result in skin pulling or bruises. Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles to ensure a secure fit.

6. Remove with Care: Removing the tape with care is another important point to keep in mind while going for a boob tape. Always apply oil and leave the tape to soak in the moisture until one of the edges smoothly start coming off on its own.

The Don’ts

To avoid hurting your skin or making common mistakes, here are the don’ts of using boob tape when your skin is sensitive:

1. Don’t apply on irritated skin: You should not use any products with adhesive on sunburned or irritated or extremely sensitized skin without getting it appropriately treated first.

2. Don’t skip the patch test: We always recommend you cut up a small patch and test it for a couple of hours before you wear them for extended periods. Although you may have selected an instant lift tape that is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, everyone’s skin is different and it’s ideal to figure out how to make a product work best for your skin type.

3. Don’t skip on removing hair: You should remove body hair from the application area at least 24 hours before applying. This will ensure a painless removal of the tape after use.

4. Don’t leave the tape for too long: Leaving the tape beyond the recommended wear time can adversely affect your skin, causing skin irritation. It may also risk an adhesive breakdown, which can lead to wardrobe malfunction. We recommend wearing boob tapes for 8-10 hours.

5. Don’t skip on hydration: Dry skin is more prone to irritation. Keep yourself hydrated in order to avoid any dryness related skin problems. This must be done before, after and even while you’re wearing the tape.

6. Don’t skip skin care post removal: Gently clean and apply moisturizer to your application area post removal. You may also use an aloe vera gel to help calm your skin sensitivity.
