With endless outfit options and ever-evolving fashion trends, traditional bras don’t always cut it anymore. That’s where alternatives like body tape and silicone pasties come in. At Butt-Chique, we offer both—because feeling confident in any outfit starts with the right support underneath.

But how do you know when to use body tape and when to reach for silicone pasties? Let’s break it down.

What is Body Tape?

Body tape, also known as boob tape or fashion tape, is an adhesive strip used to lift, shape, and support the breasts. Think of it as a customizable, strapless bra that works with almost any neckline—plunge, halter, off-shoulder, or backless.

At Butt-Chique, our Body Tape is skin-friendly, sweat-proof, and stretchy enough to mimic the natural movement of your body. It offers excellent hold while allowing you to create the lift and shape you want, with full control.

What are Silicone Pasties?

Silicone pasties are smooth, reusable nipple covers designed to give you a seamless finish under sheer, tight, or braless outfits. They offer modesty, not support—making them perfect for days when comfort and invisibility are your top priorities.

Our Silicone Nipple Covers at Butt-Chique are hypoallergenic, ultra-thin, and crafted to blend seamlessly with your skin tone. They're reusable and easy to wear, offering fuss-free coverage that stays in place.

When to Use Body Tape

Reach for body tape when:

- You’re wearing deep plunge or low-cut tops

- Your outfit is backless, strapless, or asymmetrical

- You need lift and shape without a traditional bra

- You’re attending an event and want long-lasting hold that stays put

- You have a larger bust and want a secure, customizable solution

Pro tip: Body tape is especially helpful when you need support but can’t afford any straps or bra lines peeking through.

When to Use Silicone Pasties

Silicone pasties are ideal when:

- You’re going braless but want nipple coverage

- Your outfit is sheer or clingy

- You’re wearing a tight tank top, T-shirt, or lightweight dress

- You don’t need lift or support, just a smooth finish

- You want an ultra-minimal, comfortable option for everyday wear

They’re also a go-to for smaller busts or for those times when you just want a little coverage without the effort of taping.

Can You Use Both Together?

Yes! For maximum coverage and confidence, some women prefer using silicone pasties under body tape, especially for extra-sensitive skin or additional comfort. This combination offers coverage, support, and lift—perfect for high-pressure events or long days out.

Final Thoughts

Both body tape and silicone pasties are game-changers—but they serve different purposes. If you’re after lift, shape, and support, go for body tape. If you want discreet nipple coverage under lightweight or sheer fabrics, stick with silicone pasties.

At Butt-Chique, we’ve designed both with your comfort, style, and confidence in mind. So no matter the outfit, you’re always covered—literally and figuratively.
