REMOVAL
Slow and steady
Removing your Boob Tape is NOT a rush job. Your ladies will thank you for taking your time, so be extra gentle with their sensitive souls. The main take away here is that the ‘rip off’ method is to be avoided at all costs! Your Boob Tape is not a band aid, treat your removal with as much care as you treat your application.
Loose edges
Begin your removal by gently loosening your Boob Tape at the edges. Once these are free, slowly peel your tape off, taking as much time as your skin feels it needs to avoid irritation.
Oil or lotion up
For easy removal, apply oil or lotion and leave for five minutes. This can help loosen the adhesive prior to removal.
Wash skin
Wash your skin with warm water and a gentle body wash if desired. This will ensure any adhesive residue is removed, so your skin is free to breathe without irritation.
BEST PRACTICE
Like always, size does count
Ensure you cut enough tape to cover your shape and size breasts. A handy tip here is to measure your tape out before cutting.
Round your corners
Before applying, trim the corners of each Boob Tape strip to a rounded edge. This handy hack will help your tape sit firmly against your breast, without the corners catching on your outfit.
Stretch your body, not the tape
For a shapely breast, don’t stretch the tape over your skin, as this will flatten your breast shape. Instead, place your breast in your desired position, then apply Boob Tape to hold this position. As our Boob Tape has stretch, we recommend only applying a minimal amount of stretch to your tape, this way it will naturally move with you
Leave some breast without tension
When applying your Boob Tape, leave approximately three centimetres (one inch) of breast at the bottom without tension from the tape.
Avoid stretching the ends of your tape
The ends of each Boob Tape strip you cut are what hold your strip in place. Ensuring these ends don’t have any tension will set you up for longer wear, and an irritation-free experience. If you notice any irritation at this point when removing your tape, you know to relax the edges for your next application.
One-stick wonder
Our tape is designed to be positioned, then left to work her magic. Avoid peeling your tape off then reapplying, as this will lessen her staying power.
Large breasts
If you have a larger bust, you may find it easier to lie on your back when applying your tape. Experiment and see whether standing or laying down works best for your size and shape.
