I personally wore these under a bridesmaid dress recently with great success. I’ll definitely keep them stocked in my closet from now on, as they’ve filled a need for me like no other boob tape has. The price might seem a tad steep for a single use item, but it comes with multiple sets.

Sizes: 1-4

Colors: 4 shades

Customer review: “The only thing that works. I’m not a large person but have large boobs at a 36G. This is the only sticky bra that allows me to wear fun summer dresses! It lifts as much as you want it to since they’re flexible, stretchy, and cover way better than the traditional sticky bra.”

What I’ve learned is that you either are or are not a sticky boob girl. As for me, I’m not. (I think it’s my boob shape? Oh well, I’ve accepted it.) All my family and friends, however, are sticky boob fan girls. My sister couldn’t live without them.
