Fashion tape is not directly used on bras in the way you might be thinking, but rather is used with your clothing to provide support instead of a bra, or to keep your clothing in place to provide coverage, often where a bra would normally be. However, this is a common misconception and people may also want to use fashion tape with a bra. Here's a breakdown of how to use fashion tape in relation to a bra:
Using Fashion Tape as an Alternative to a Bra
-
Preparation is Key: Ensure your skin is clean and dry where you plan to apply the tape. Avoid using lotions or oils, as they can prevent the tape from adhering properly.
-
Placement Matters: Fashion tape is typically applied directly to your skin to support your breasts and hold your clothing in place. You can use it to create lift, secure a low-cut neckline, or prevent slipping of straps.
-
Application Technique: According to the video "[How To Apply Boob Tape - YouTube]", when applying the tape, go as close as you can to your shoulder and make sure the tape doesn't stick out of your garment.
-
Types of Tape: Fashion tape comes in various forms, including strips, rolls, and adhesive patches. Choose the type that best suits your clothing and desired level of support.
Using Fashion Tape with a Bra
While fashion tape usually is used instead of a bra, it can also be used in conjunction with a bra to prevent clothing slippage, add extra security, or to hide a bra strap. For example:
-
Securing Straps: Use small pieces of tape to attach your bra straps to your clothing, preventing them from sliding off your shoulders.
-
Concealing Bra Edges: Place tape along the edges of your bra where they might be visible under clothing, ensuring a smooth, seamless look.
-
Adjusting Necklines: If your bra is too visible with a low cut top, a piece of tape strategically placed on your skin will help secure your clothing and hide any bra edges that might be showing.
Step-by-Step Application
- Clean and Dry: Start with clean, dry skin.
- Pre-cut Strips: Cut tape into manageable lengths before removing the backing.
- Apply to Skin or Fabric: Apply the tape to your skin or clothing, avoiding the nipple area.
- Secure in Place: Press firmly to ensure good adhesion.
- Check Clothing: Make sure your clothing looks smooth and secure.
Tips
- Test First: If you have sensitive skin, test a small area with a piece of tape before applying it more broadly.
- Layering: If you need more support or coverage, overlap the tape strips slightly.
- Removal: Remove the tape slowly and gently, especially if it is directly on your skin, to avoid irritation.
