They solve four different problems. Nipple Covers hide your nipples; only our Lifting Nipple Covers add a gentle lift on top. Boob Tape gives real lift and support, and it's the only one of the four that does. A Silicone Sticky Bra gathers wider-set breasts inward for cleavage, without lift. Push-Up Inserts add volume and push-up inside a bra or a structured dress, and don't work without one. Decide what you want the outfit to do, then pick the product that does it.
Each One in a Sentence
- Nipple Covers: reusable silicone discs that cover the nipple so you can skip the bra. Coverage only, with one exception: our Lifting Nipple Covers (Two-Tabs) and Easy Lifting Nipple Covers (One Tab) add a gentle lift and shape under a neckline that hides the tabs.
- Boob Tape: wide adhesive tape (2in/5cm) you cut and apply in strips to lift, shape and hold. Single use. Real support.
- Silicone Sticky Bra: two adhesive silicone cups with a center clasp that pulls the breasts together. Cleavage, not lift.
- Push-Up Inserts: soft foam pads with double-sided adhesive that sit inside a bra, bikini top or structured dress and add a size or two.

If You Want…
- To go braless under a normal top: Nipple Covers. Non-Adhesive if the top is fitted, Adhesive if it isn't.
- Lift in a backless or strapless dress: Boob Tape for a few hours, with an adhesive nipple cover under it (never a non-adhesive one).
- Cleavage in a strapless or backless dress, small to medium bust: the Silicone Sticky Bra.
- Cleavage or lift with a larger or heavier bust: Boob Tape. The Sticky Bra's edges peel under weight.
- A fuller look in a bra, a bikini top or a structured dress: Push-Up Inserts.
- A fuller look with no bra at all: Boob Tape. Inserts need the garment.
- Gentle lift under a high neckline, small to medium bust: Lifting Nipple Covers.
What Each One Can't Do
We'd rather you knew before you bought. Nipple Covers, including our Lifting Covers, don't give bra-level support, and no cover creates cleavage. The Sticky Bra gathers; it does not lift, and it isn't for very thin fabric where thicker edges can show. Push-Up Inserts do nothing on their own under a t-shirt. Boob Tape does all of the lifting jobs and none of the easy ones: it takes a few minutes to apply, it's single use, and it comes off with oil, not in the shower.
They Work Together
The most common pairing is Boob Tape with an Adhesive or Sensitive (Nip-Safe) cover underneath: it stays put while you tape. Every Boob Tape Kit also includes five pairs of satin pasties, and the Remover Oil is what takes the tape off at the end of the night. Push-Up Inserts also pair with Adhesive Covers when the dress is low enough that the bra is doing the shaping and the cover is doing the covering.

FAQ
Which is best for a wedding dress?
Structured bodice: Push-Up Inserts if you want more, Covers if you just need coverage. Backless or open-back: Boob Tape for the evening, with an adhesive cover under it, and the Remover Oil packed for the end of the night.
Can a Sticky Bra replace Boob Tape?
For cleavage on a smaller bust, yes. For lift, no.
Do any of these work for a DD or larger?
Adhesive Covers in Large (C–DD) or X-Large (DDD+) for coverage, Boob Tape for lift. The Sticky Bra is made for smaller and medium busts. Lifting Covers suit smaller and medium busts best; the Two-Tab in Large can work on a D or DD with a smaller band, for shape and light support under a structured top, not a full lift. See our large bust guide.
Which is the cheapest way to start?
A pair of Adhesive Nipple Covers. It covers the most outfits and lasts up to 50 wears.
Can I swim in them?
Adhesive Covers are waterproof and hold in the water. The Sticky Bra and the inserts are made for dry wear; use adhesive covers in the water.
