Nipple covers or nipple covers are a wardrobe must-have for all those who want to dress up as a burlesque character and not reveal too much. These double-sided tape or pasties are tube-shaped with an adhesive on one side that is ideal for capturing the nipple without leaving any marks on the skin.

The tape sticks to the breasts sufficiently well to conceal the nipple from view without causing any kind of irritation. Here’s everything you need to know about nipple covers if you plan on dressing up as a burlesque character anytime soon.

What Are Nipple Covers?

Nipple covers, also called nipple pasties, are a wardrobe must-have for all those who want to dress up as a burlesque character and not reveal too much. These double-sided tape or pasties are tube-shaped with an adhesive on one side that is ideal for capturing the nipple without leaving any marks on the skin.

The tape sticks to the breasts sufficiently well to conceal the nipple from view without causing any kind of irritation.

How Do Nipple Covers Work?

These pasties are double-sided tape or stickers that can be worn on the breasts to conceal the nipples. One side of the nipple cover has a sticky, adhesive surface that attaches to the skin. The other side has a fabric that sticks to the adhesive so that it completely hides the nipple from view.

There are two types of nipple covers – one is just adhesive and acts as a sticker and the other is made of fabric with an adhesive backing.

The latter is more durable, but both work well for covering up your nipples. Nipple covers come in different shapes and sizes so finding one that fits your body type is important if you want to wear it confidently.

A few things to keep in mind while choosing a size are:

  • Matching color with skin tone
  • The size of your breasts
  • Type of costume (whether you want something transparent or not)

When Should You Wear Nipple Covers?

Nipple covers are usually worn during a burlesque performance. They can also be worn during a costume party or any other type of costume event if you want to cover up your nipples. You should wear nipple covers if you want to conceal your nipples without having to use tape that may or may not leave marks on your skin.

How To Choose The Right Size For Your Nipple Covers?

You first need to measure the circumference of your nipple and then compare it to the sizing chart. Place a measuring tape around your nipple, either when erect or flaccid and check the size in the chart. The manufacturer recommends that you select a size that is not too big or too small for you.

Once you have this information, go for a smaller size if you measure greater than 1 inch around your nipple. If it’s less than 1 inch, go for a bigger size. You can also try different brands as each one has different nippled cover sizes and shapes to choose from.
