I once wrapped my DD chest in packing tape for the sake of a tube top I’d been dying to wear to a concert. What initially seemed like a clever idea resulted in an embarrassing crinkling noise anytime I moved, and sweat building behind the tape until it dripped down my torso. The experience spurred me to ask friends for strapless bra recommendations, a few of which have proved truly life-changing. That said, though strapless bras work for most skimpy, sleeveless attire, they fail to accommodate backless styles. Adhesive Sticky Bra
In a quest for a lifted, strap-free support, I’ve turned to tape—this time, tape designed for lifting boobs, not sealing cardboard boxes. Nipple covers have also proved essential in my growing collection of backless bra alternatives for large breasts. My favorites—plus a few options I’m eyeing—are conveniently available at Amazon, and prices start at $12.
You may assume a bra made from paper-thin cotton would fail to support large breasts, but, as this lifting proves, you’d be wrong. This genius fashion solution has saved me from countless wardrobe fails, and works equally well with ultra low-plunging attire as it does with backless. The adhesive, lightweight fabric cuts easily with scissors; paired with a marked backing and cut-lines for guidance, the lifting tape accommodates a range of breast sizes and can be cut to suit your needs. Once sized, simply adhere the sticky backing below each breast, gently pull, and secure to the surrounding skin for instant smoothness and lift.
Amazon’s best-selling adhesive nipple covers, these silicone stick-ons come in five shades and are ideal for anyone seeking a smooth look. They’re washable, too, giving them a longer life than many options. Shoppers say they have a “barely there” feel and reliable coverage. Personally, I’m eyeing the brand’s lifting option, which boasts all the coverage benefits of the original plus a touch of gravity-defying magic for larger busts.
I wore this adhesive bra as the maid of honor at my best friend’s wedding; frankly, I’d been skeptical it would actually support me throughout the evening, but it remained intact, smooth under my silky dress, and shockingly supportive, even through hours sweating and jumping on the dancefloor. Better yet, the adhesive was strong enough for me to get four more wears out of it. I’ve since recommended these sticky boob-savers to friends, who have reported similar luck with the lifting, slip proof bra.
