What is an adhesive bra?

An adhesive bra is the miracle solution to say goodbye to visible straps and uncomfortable fastenings! Designed to stick directly to the skin thanks to a gentle adhesive technology that is hypoallergenic, it provides support and enhances the bust while remaining completely invisible under clothing. Ideal for backless dresses, plunging necklines, or light tops, it keeps the bust in place discreetly. 


This type of bra uses an adhesive or sticky material to adhere to the skin of your chest without hurting, irritating, or constraining it, in order to keep your breasts in place. But that's not all: it adapts to all body types and comes in several shapes to enhance your silhouette! All that's left is to choose the right adhesive bra.

The different ways to wear an adhesive bra.

Adhesive bra: user reviews

The reviews on the adhesive bra are generally mixed, reflecting varied experiences depending on expectations and situations. Many users appreciate its discretion, especially with backless outfits or thin-strapped tops, where traditional bras are not suitable. Its comfort and ease of use are often highlighted, provided you choose a quality model. 


However, some notice that the adhesion may decrease with heat or after several uses, which can be problematic when wanting to wear it for a big occasion in summer, for several hours. It is also important to carefully follow the usage and care instructions, otherwise, you risk altering the adhesive qualities of the bra and thus shortening its lifespan.

How to choose the right adhesive bra?


  1. The size: like any bra, make sure the bra is the right size. A poorly fitted adhesive bra will be uncomfortable and may even cause skin irritation.
  2. The shape: choose a style that meets your needs. A strapless adhesive bra should sufficiently support your breasts, whether small or generous.
  3. The material: silicone is comfortable but a bit more expensive, while self-adhesive is cheaper but may not be as comfortable. That's good, at Les Petits Imprimés, we prioritize quality silicone!

5 models of adhesive bras

1. Push-up Adhesive Bra

Known by the nickname "rabbit adhesive bra," these two beige/nude adhesive patches stick both to the center of the breast and to the bust at the level of the pectoral muscle to lift and support the breasts with a more or less pronounced push-up effect depending on your preferences for a rounded bust. This adhesive bra is perfect for wearing backless or plunging necklines, as long as the dress or top hides the "rabbit ear" tabs. 

Extra thin and very light, these adhesive patches are completely invisible, even under a very thin and tight dress. The support is excellent and they are water-resistant (perfect under a swimsuit!). 

These adhesive patches are very easy to apply:

  1. place the rounded part on the center of the breast;
  2. pull the tab to the desired height;
  3. stick.

It will hold all day, even if you sweat! Guaranteed feeling of freedom. 

2. Strapless Adhesive Bra

Do you love feeling your breasts wrapped and supported, your curvy breasts in a plunging neckline, and are you looking for a backless strapless solution? This adhesive bra seems perfect for you. It consists of two adhesive parts to place on each breast to form a pair of wings to be joined in the middle of the chest by a discreet clip. 


Refined at the edges, this beige/nude or black strapless adhesive bra blends perfectly with your skin without any demarcation, ideal under light or tight clothing. 

For maximum comfort and respect for the delicate skin of your nipples, two small pads integrated inside the cups prevent direct contact with the adhesive part.

This invisible strapless adhesive bra is ideal under a glamorous backless evening dress, a little cocktail dress with a plunging neckline, or a strapless wedding dress.

3. Breast Adhesive Tape

Some sheer outfits or plunging necklines make us dream of simply sticking our breasts to keep them in place. What if it were possible? With the breast adhesive tape, available in different shades to match your skin tone, you can create the most fitted adhesive bra possible. And if the concept doesn't resonate with you too much, we've slipped in a little video tutorial for you to visualize it better!

4. Multi-position Adhesive Bra

Are you looking for the adhesive bra that will go with all your backless, strapless, off-shoulder, and low-cut outfits? Choose this versatile adhesive bra, with or without a push-up effect and with or without an adjustable transparent strap depending on the cut of your top.


Composed of two beige or black adhesive patches to be attached together in the middle of the chest for a sculpted effect or connected by a transparent strap passing around the neck to position your breasts further apart (ideal for a deep neckline in front and back), this multi-position self-adhesive bra comes with two transparent "lift-up" patches.


Made from quality silicone that allows your skin to breathe, this invisible adhesive bra is gentle on the fragile and sensitive skin of your bust. Additionally, the two patches are equipped with two small pads integrated inside the shells to prevent direct contact of the tips of your breasts with the adhesive part.

5. Adhesive nipple covers

A fan of "no bra," you still prefer to hide your nipples and are looking for an easy, practical, and comfortable solution? Whether it's because their dark shade stands out under your light clothing or to smooth their relief under a tight garment and prevent them from showing, the adhesive nipple cover seems to be the ideal solution for you.


Completely invisible and long-lasting, these round opaque nipple covers have edges that taper to avoid any demarcation and thus be 100% invisible under your clothes. Made from quality silicone, gentle on your delicate skin and easy to maintain, these breast covers are an essential accessory under your light or tight clothing, backless outfits, or bodysuits! 

How to put on an adhesive bra?

Here are three tips for achieving a perfect fit while wearing your adhesive bra:


  • Clean and dry skin: apply your adhesive bra on clean and dry skin on your chest to maximize the adhesion and longevity of your adhesive garment.
  • Sensitive skin: the skin on the chest and bust is thin and delicate. Before the first use, test the adhesive on a small area of your skin before applying it to your breasts.
  • Application direction: to apply the adhesive bra, peel the garment from the backing and press it from the center of the chest down and to the sides.

How to maintain an adhesive bra?

Adhesive bras are easy to maintain as long as you know the right tips. Here are 3 tips regarding the washing and maintenance of the adhesive bra so that it remains beautiful and effective.

Instructions for cleaning an adhesive bra:


  1. Wash the bra in warm water with mild soap.
  2. Gently rub without exfoliating to avoid damaging the silicone.
  3. Air dry the bra or gently pat it with a towel before storing it away from heat and direct sunlight.

Indeed, heat and sunlight can degrade the adhesive over time. Instead, store your adhesive bras in a cool, dark place, like a drawer or closet. With proper care, your adhesive bras should last a long time.
