Nipple covers

Nipple covers (pasties) and breast jewelry are decorative accessories that dress up the breasts beyond the classic bra. Adhesive silicone nipple covers for discretion, colorful pasties for a bold aesthetic, jewelry with chains that drape between the breasts—these accessories create a distinctive aesthetic ranging from practical (invisibility under a top) to purely decorative.

In summary: nipple covers and breast jewelry as decorative accessories. Silicone nipple covers for invisibility under thin tops; decorative glitter, fringed, and patterned pasties for a burlesque/intimate aesthetic; jewelry with chains for decoration between the breasts. Silicone adhesion, clamps, or clips, with some designed for existing piercings.

In this store, this category serves two very different purposes. Discreet adhesive nipple covers for those who want to wear certain clothes without a visible bra (backless tops, sheer dresses, unlined swimsuits). Decorative pasties for intimate moments with a partner or special events (parties, burlesque performances). Both uses coexist in the collection.

Available types

Practical uses

Under specific clothing

A fine chiffon top that reveals the nipples, a fully backless dress where a bra is impossible, or an unlined swimsuit that offers no effective coverage—flesh-toned silicone nipple covers solve these practical problems. They are invisible under clothing while ensuring discretion.

An alternative to a bra

For smaller breasts that prefer to go braless on certain days, nipple covers provide sufficient minimal coverage. Total comfort (no straps, no underwire), with guaranteed nipple coverage.

For intimate moments

Decorative pasties (stars, hearts, sequins, fringe) transform intimate aesthetics. An outfit with pasties alone plus panties creates an iconic burlesque look with a specific vibe. Jewelry with dangling chains adds a sophisticated decorative dimension.

For special events

Burlesque shows, festive parties, themed events—decorative pasties have their place. They cover you while still revealing, creating a distinctive aesthetic that is neither a bra nor complete nudity.

How to use adhesive nipple covers

Preparing the skin

Skin should be clean, dry, and free of cream. Do not apply talc or powder just beforehand. Adhesion works best on bare, dry skin. If your skin is oily, wipe the area with a dry makeup-removing wipe before application.

Application

Center the nipple cover precisely over the nipple (it will not move once applied). Press gently from the center outward to remove air. Smooth the edges. Hold in place for 30 seconds for optimal adhesion.

Wear time

Typically 4–6 hours for quality silicone models. Less time in high heat, with sweating, or when clothing rubs against them. If you plan to wear them for more than 6 hours, plan to reapply or change them during the event.

Removal

Peel it off gradually, starting at one edge. If the adhesive pulls, moisten it with warm water to make removal easier. Do not remove it abruptly—this may irritate the delicate skin around the areola.

Reuse

Quality medical-grade silicone models can be reused. After use: wash with warm soapy water, air-dry flat, and apply a thin layer of powder or talc to the adhesive side before storing. Properly maintained, they last for 30–50 uses.

Nipple jewelry: a distinctive aesthetic

Nipple jewelry is more than simple decoration—it contributes to a complete aesthetic found in several settings. Modern burlesque (with Dita Von Teese as its contemporary icon) makes extensive use of decorative pasties. Special events (Rio Carnival, Mardi Gras, themed parties) incorporate them. Fashion photography and alternative shoots use them to create iconic images.

Wearing nipple jewelry today means carrying on this aesthetic tradition. From a simple star-shaped pasty to a complex piece of jewelry with dangling chains, each style belongs to this world that reinvents and celebrates the unveiling of the body with elegance.

My experience with nipple covers in store

Over the past 10 years, nipple covers have become a forgotten lingerie wardrobe essential. Many women buy tops or dresses that cannot be worn with a traditional bra and find themselves stuck—they do not think of nipple covers as a solution. When I show them some, it is often a revelation: "I never knew they really existed."

My advice for a complete wardrobe: always add 2–3 pairs of flesh-colored silicone nipple covers to your lingerie collection. They stay in your dresser and come in handy when needed (an unexpected dress, a top you want to try on, an unlined swimsuit). A small investment (€15–25 per pair), with great practical value.

Common mistakes

• Applying to moisturized skin. The adhesive will not hold.
• Cheap disposable covers for long-term wear. They peel off quickly.
• Incorrect size for the areola. Too small = the nipple protrudes; too large = it is visible.
• Rough removal. Irritation may occur.
• Reusing without care. The adhesive weakens quickly.

Care

Silicone nipple covers: hand wash with lukewarm soapy water, air-dry, and apply talc before storing. Fabric/fringed pasties: use a damp sponge; do not soak. Jewelry with chains: use a soft cloth for the metal and avoid prolonged moisture. Store in a case or dedicated box to keep out dust.

Nipple covers in burlesque culture

The decorative nipple cover (pasty) has been an iconic element of burlesque culture since the 1920s. Gypsy Rose Lee, followed by Dita Von Teese in modern times, immortalized the fringed pasty that twirls to the rhythm of the dance. This tradition remains alive in modern burlesque shows and continues to inspire contemporary designs. Wearing fringed pasties today means carrying on this history of sensual body celebration.
