Wondering how to use boob tape? You’re not alone. With spring upon us, thoughts are already turning toward warm-weather outfits. V-neck bodysuits, sheer dresses, and strapless tops—the fashion at this time of year really takes a turn into a “less is more” approach.
Hemlines are getting shorter, necklines are getting lower, and backless dresses are becoming more popular. However, with all of that comes an age-old dilemma: What do we do with our boobs?
Sure, there’s always the option to bring out the Nice Bra that sits at the back of the drawer, but sometimes straps just spoil an outfit. Meanwhile, even the best strapless bras can be uncomfortable at times. Sticky bras and nipple covers are always an option, of course, but sometimes they don’t stick on to skin properly and can look lumpy under certain outfits.
So, with all that in mind, it’s time to bring out the third option: boob tape.

How to use boob tape
The good thing about boob tape is that there are so many different ways to use it—and with so many different outfits. The strength of the tape helps hold breasts in place all night while allowing you the flexibility and comfort to move with ease.
It can be used differently for every person and every different size of breasts; there’s not really one set way to use it, which is why it’s so great. However, if you’re using it for the first time, here’s a quick guide on how to get started:
- Start with the tape underneath each breast and bring it over the breast vertically, making sure you don’t bring the tape too high in front of the neckline of your outfit.
- Add some pieces horizontally as needed to provide support, but make sure that no tape is poking out at the sides.
How to use boob tape for low-cut, backless dresses
Low-cut, backless dresses bring up the dilemma of deciding what underwear to wear. There’s essentially nowhere to hide straps or clasps, so how can you make sure you look supported—especially those with larger chests? Boob tape will work perfectly.
